Bit early I know, but when Brough and Miller are available agains there will be some tough choices.

This is just my opinion.

Brough to come back in and replace Reynolds. The lads done well but at this point Brough remains the better player, unless of course Reynolds puts in a few stellar performances in the next few weeks.

Now it gets tricky imho. Is Miller that much better than Hampshire?

Even if he is where would you put Hampshire who certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped?

You could put him back to FB but then that would mean dropping Jowitt who imo has been every bit as good in that position as Hampshire and again does not deserve to be dropped.

I'm not a coach let alone the coach but to me the key player is Miller and the question is should he automatically get his place back.

Its whats happened at Canberra with Williams keeping Aidan Sezer out, so it happens. Is it a positive or negative dilemma?

Just realised Miller back before Brough so even more interesting.

If Brough is fulfilling the role he has been brought to the club to deliver then we should be seeing a vast improvement in the kicking game of Hampshire, Miller and Reynolds. Being honest, they don't have a kicking game between them but it's a strange dynamic that the more successful Brough is in imparting his kicking skills and wisdom to this next generation the further he is being pushed down the pecking order for selection. Lets hope we have a fully fit Danny Brough full of energy and raring to go but unable to get into the side due to the outstanding form of the others. That's proper competition for places.

A real poser for CC. Hampshire was very good at FB, but as you point out Max has been equal to him in that position.
I actually think Hampshire is much more creative in the halves so for me Miller would have to fight for his place back - that's what competition is all about isn't it?

Tends to be my way of thinking but then its all to easy to forget just how good Miller is purely because Hampshire is making such a fist of it. I recon you need to be a coach with all the data and insider knowledge to really know which one gives more to the team as a whole.

It is happening next week.
Miller is back available.
Hampshire stats for me, its just a question of having him at fb and dropping Max or scrum half and dropping Reynolds.

Not sure which I'd go with yet.

I wouldn't drop Max as I can't see where Hampshire is any better, I think that would be a huge kick in the teeth. Reynolds despite doing well looks the sacrificial part. Also Miller and Hampshire have played together in the halves.

As supporters we can only sit back and be happy there is such talent and be glad the headache isn't ours! icon_biggrin.gif

What would a Cockney know about rugby league?:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_73558.jpeg



Brough comes straight back in when available. No question about it.

Miller will most likely come back in when fit. Its then Rocky v Max for the FB jersey.

Max has been great at FB but I still prefer Rocky.

Captain and vice captain on the field whenever possible - no question about it in my mind

Jowett for me every day. Max is the best passer of a ball in the club and sets his outside backs away in space. Rocky is quicker but his running line puts the outside backs in a cul de sac when he passes on to them.

Anyone else noticed that when Hampshire plays half back opposition dont score down that side as he has the pace to get across. For me Miller has been poor this season. Jowitt has been good, Brough we need for his kicking game, Hampshire is the class act he has to play. Easy decision for me , Miller and Reynolds miss out.
Hampshire represents something we have not had a Trinity since I would say Nigel Wright and that is a World Class player, top player of his generation, a match winner, a half with genuine pace who wins matches for you with individual brilliance, If we can get him signed on a lomg term contract it will be the most significant resigning we have made in several generations.

Mate he's not world class he seriously isn't, might be one day but miles off yet. However I'd say he's playing better than Miller was when injured but thats just my opinion.

We're all Trin aren't we?:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76901.jpg



Its a tough choice and I'm glad that I dont have to make it! But I bet CC will be glad to get everyone back!
For me, you have to go back to the team that started as first choice - so Broughy, Milky back in and Rocky at FB.
As has been said would be especially hard on Max as he has been excellent.
Over to you CC! icon_biggrin.gif
