Maybe he isn't injured and if not then why isn't he playing? Is it a contract issue?

Supposedly a good standard big SL prop who is in his prime at 29 who has won silverware in the CC twice with Hull. However he never seems to get a mention from the coach as a consideration to bring in with a pack that has just been mullered by Catalan. Meanwhile Chester admits that Trinity had tried to take Catalan down the middle and failed then leaves out a 6 foot 5 tall 18 stone experienced prop from the 21 man squad?

If he's not doing it on the training field to get selection then he's going the same way as Ian Kirke who I think was a poor signing...

Naverette is both in and out of his team.

I think I'd start with Crowther at 9 for the extra defence and put K Wood on the bench.
Think Fifita is better as an impact sub so swap him and Kopzcak
Maybe ask Arona to prop and put Batchelor on the bench too instead of Tangata

Other than that I'd agree, so my side looks like:
Walker
Senior Tupou Croft Hampshire
Miller Jowitt
Kopzcak Crowther Navarette
Ashurst Pitts
Westerman

K Wood, Fifita, Arona, Batchelor

Missing out:
Kirmond, Tanginoa, Tangata, Bailey

Too many journeyman taking the club for a long long ride

Yet you never offer an alternative or a way of funding it. It’s to easy to just call players journeymen, it’s meaningless.

You do the okie cokie and turnaround


copied and pasted the squad so must have missed that

Probably a silly question but is it on TV and if so which one? Ta

BBC 1, with a 2.30 kick off.

Which ones are journeymen?

My interpretation of journeyman is players who are not good enough to hold a position down in a team so they move from club to club, or players who are way past there best who come to a club for a final pay out .If it's still not clear take a look at players who have come to us over the last 2 years .Forget the the second rower who was like a breath of fresh air.Who we now have decided is a prop .

Forgive me if I’m wrong but aren’t they the type of signings that we have to make due to finances available?

Yes we’d all love to go out and sign top players in their prime but will always find it difficult to attract those players.

I think we’ve done ok the last few years...plenty of signings have worked out...we’ve had a decent record of getting the best out of players I’d say?

Can not rember the last time we signed so many journeyman together we may have signed 2 but used the spare cash to signed a bit of quality. .We are not the best for keeping players fit

We do tend to sign pkayers who have had their best spell at a club and then offered a shorter contract because of lack of form.
Our second signinhs normally represent a player who can cover a number of ppsitions but can not hold down a regular position.
