Gentle has promised to give youth its chance, and not move senior players around to accomodate injuries,etc, by bringing in young players position for position. I hope he has the courage to do it. Two forwards are out for Salford, will Green and Pearce get their chance?
Please don`t chicken out as Agar did!!

Isn't Pearce out on a season long lone?

what about burnett and turner think they will be infront of pearce and green

just dual registered , i think.

Dual contract isn't it?

Quite possibly dual registered I just recalled something about him playing for a lower league club this year.

York, with Green. So O'Carroll & Moa's absences could cause them some hassle as well.

We only need to bring Green back imo and shift Tickle up to prop.

I think people are getting carried away about Pearce. I reckon he is some way down the pecking order when it comes to call ups to the first team. Green, Cunningham, Kent, Burnett and Bowden are all ahead of him in terms of development.

Green should get a run out against Salford but Pearce probably isnt there yet. Physically he is more than ready but his fitness and lack of tactical awareness would be exploited by a decent side. If we want to blood him in Superleague this year maybe 20 minutes against Widnes would be an idea, helps keep the pack a bit fresher too.

The OP just wants to see if Gentle is true to his word, not sure it matters whether its Pearce or Cunningham etc. Green should be in the 17 cos we are 2 props down, but covering Westermans spot is a little more open to debate. What I don't want to see is Turner coming on as a back row sub, I want one of the under 20s being there.

Lynch
Houghton
Ogre
Tickle
Manu
Whiting

Aspinwall
Green
Nicklas
Burnett (is he fit yet?)

Would be my pack/bench for Salford.

Great to see this happening after years of it not. We could be about to witness the debuts of some future FC stars.

I really can't wait to see Bowden play this season, and if he gets game time against Salford then great. I'm sure he'll be able to handle his own.
