| Quote: Boss Hog "For me, Balmforth is more suited to playing at 13.
He has the physique and handling skills of a traditional loose forward and would be maximising his potential there.
Current Super League hookers, are like extra halfbacks and are fast off the mark with good footwork and Balmforth just isn`t that type of player.'"
As it happens he’s playing 13 tonight for the reserves

| Quote: bonaire "The lad must be disappointed and i would say probably disillusioned in Smith.
Still feel Smith either doesnt rate him or like him for some reason as he has never given him two or three continuous games to show what he can or cant do in the first team.
Maybe he is another player who has liked a tweet criticising Smith'"
Or maybe, He and Smith have discussed the way forward, and come to an agreement on the direction his (Balmforth) career is headed, and both are happy with the outcome.

Its a good call that.
Just wonder whether Cummins is his own man making this decision.
Given our problem at 13 you have to wonder why it wasnt tried in the pre season games
Good size,decent distribution and i dont think fans realise the speed Balmforth actually has

| Itd be nice if theres a abit of a plan regarding balmforth and if that means him solving our loose forŵard problem fingers crossed, hes got too many strings to his bow to be overlooked and frozen out.

| Polite and ridiculously naive question ?
You don’t think Balmforth is possibly not fully match fit? …

| Any update from our travel agent, looks to me they flew from Humberside, possible on a private plane?
So is it still a cost cutting exercise?
Maybe best to wait for the facts before having a dig at the club.

Yes, seems like Pearson has spent more this year with the party of twenty players plus coaching/medical staff taking two charter flights, transfers, one night in a hotel, four meals. If the trip works out OK regardless of result I guess the club will do the same later in the year.
Land back at Humberside late tonight, I believe, again with Eastern Airways.
