| If sa is out I think he will go safety first and use whiting as right centre and have a simple game plan of kicking early in tackle count and trying to keep wire in there 20 and force mistakes

| Arundel isn't good enough, average at Hull, didn't stand out at Donny or Bradford last year and looked poor in the friendlies he played this year. I think the fact that he is available and no clubs have come in for him (despite the fact we will no doubt pay towards his salary) tells its own story.

| Do we have room on the salary cap to play Arundel? I thought that if he doesn't play he doesn't count?

How long had Feka and Talanoa gone since a first grade game before appearing for us?

Please no. Whiting was very poor when he played centre last season.

you'd risk a player, who hasn't had match time, back from surgery over Logan, who can hold is own in SL played plenty minutes over pre-season??????

Thats about as harsh as it comes!
When Arundel has played he has done no worse than Yeaman. During 2013 he produces SOME good displays (Cas at home and rovers away spring to mind).
As has been pointed out, he stood out when it mattered for Bradford, against his parent club. Hardly a reasonable comment is a beaten team for most weeks.
To be told you're not wanted is hardly the morale booster any player would want, thats bound to have an impact on performance.
That no other club has come in for him suggest the old regimes valuation of him was beyond what other clubs are willing to pay and has no reflection on his actual ability.
Would you take a pay cut to do the same job?

| Quote dayvoz="dayvoz"Yet when the coach brings in a seasoned pro(Pryce)who has a much better pedigree than an underdone Michaels,you say its to the detriment of one of our young players.'"
I did suggest JA would be better as first choice 6 & I stick by that, JA is far and away more advanced than Logan in any case & Micheals is a class player, picked for Origin, scored almost 50 tries in circa 120 appearances (have you actually watched Micheals play?). Radford signed Micheals so we use him if he is anywhere near being close, he isn't (or shouldn't be) here as 2nd string back up material unless we have cash to burn and Yeaman is going to remain 1st choice centre along with Sa which would make even less sense if Radford would be looking at Logan as back up centre?
If you're that bothered about my opinions with regard the youth why not have a look at Radford's, last year was an unmitigated disaster, signing of old plodders that were shiate instead of playing the youth
MY OPINION is that I would rather have an underdone Micheals than Logan, but wouldn't be opposed to Arundal, so who would you play and why?
