You've got to feel for young Crowther and I'm not just saying that because his dad posts on here.

He played a fair few games last year and was progressing nicely and would have expected to get a fair few chances this year - which may have become a breakthrough year.

I mean the lads done it all text book - then out of nowhere comes a wonder kid in Batchelor, who is a bit like Ellis was - freakishly advanced for his age. I shouldn't imagine he saw that coming.

Of course that doesn't mean Crowther's Trinity career is over, far from it I suspect. But it goes to show how fickle this game can be and how limited opportunities can become. Jowitts having the same problem as has Anakin but I really thought Crowther would start break through this year.

To me this shows the utter stupidity of scrapping 'A' team RL or at least not raising the under 19's comp to an under 21's and replacing the under 19's with a schoolboy comp. That's how i see it anyway.

Unless others see it differently or I'm missing something Dual Reg doesn't appear to be the answer.

Huge opportunity for Mitch Allgood tomorrow! A big pair of boots to fill coming n for Huby....the stage is yours Mitch!

Thought Huby was in the squad?

He is but is being rested...

Chester has said he's having a well deserved rest and he'll be ready for Thursday.

Huby will be a big miss against a Leeds pack. Looking at Salford tonight I'd rather see Huby rested next Thursday. If he needs a rest he needs a rest and I trust in Chester. Mitch does have big boots to fill though.

Vastman - that is exactly as I see it. Added in the emergence of Hadley who's turned out to be a consistently good player from game one for us.

I still hope we secure Crowther for a few years at least. Yes we have the emergence of Batchelor who looks class but I see something in crowther. In the coming years I've no doubt he could be a regular solid/good forward for us.

A lot of young lads are let go too soon due to no A team games but I think there's great value in bringing through young players with potential. Batchelor has it in spades but there's some there in crowther too. Hopefully he will sign up and keep working towards breaking into the team.

I have watch Trinity since 75 and not since 79/80 have I being more excited about the prospect of silverware in the next few seasons
I hope we get Hirst & Crowther signed up Allgood has a real chance to step up and earn a contract the jury is out on him
Williams played very well in the NRL and given time he will come good a lot depends on him now this season

For my money we are 2 short of really challenging for honours and with no disrespect to Finn who is a valuable squad member in my view a quality scrum half and a hooker Shaun Lunt although 30 would be on my wish list if HKR do not get up

Unfortunately I'd let Annakin go. I honestly don't know what position is his best. He's just s but too small. And now has a top knot hair do which was the final straw for me

Yes, I feel that we need to get Crowther signed up.

Thought Allgood went ok last night.

I too think the same regarding 1-2 players away from seeious chance of silverware.

Lunt is a fine player, but would consider Clark, if the fallout I heard over at Warrington is true.

Dont recall at any point last night did one of our last tackle kicks turned Handley or either winger around. Most of those kicks were unfortunately by Finn. Would maybe look at the halves too.

We were debating the other day as who to offload for an NRL player, and said Sio was good when he came but as we improve, we need to improve the quality. That can be said in any position.

Maybe prize money could be used to improve on that bit of quality, bit I know we have a budget and that there is a cap.

Overall though, very happy where we are, as to where we were two years ago
