Cant see Yeaman getting dropped unfortunately

| I think it's easy to forget how young he still is, and last year whilst he played really well I think he was bigged up too much by sky etc, because he's far from the finished product.
He's got bags of talent but he always seems a little mentally fragile imo, whereas you look at Tom Lineham and I don't think anything at all would phase him. I think he will feel a lot more comfortable having Lineham back too.

| I think the lad is a good attacking centre but if he wants to play super league he has to defend better and make far fewer defensive errors. Anything else is flannel in my opinion and making excuses for players is a big reason why we never get any better. His progress in the future is entirely in his hands and I seriously hope he makes it but he has to be much better when his team don't have the ball.

Say what you mean and mean what you say because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.: |

| Think it would be useful to put him out to Donny for a months loan and let cookie give him some confidence.

| Can't see it being a confidence issue or he wouldn't be kicking goals from the touchline. Is he OOC this season? Maybe we have changed our defensive structures and he's taking time to adjust

| Harsh IMO, Arundel was much worst dropping a few bombs and costing us two try's and there has been anywhere as much criticism. At least offers a great attacking threat and is kicking really well. I'd have Ellis on his side next week.

Arundel was left in no mans land by Crooks and his SR
Crooks needs to play on the left where his speed and good attacking lines would be more effective

| Although he has had a dip in form recently, changing position does not help confidence, also i think he needs time and direction as he is a good player
getting on his back will not do anything to boost his confidence,expecting young players to shine each week will need the help of senior players guidance.

Thompson is not fast enough for a centre, his defence would be worse than Crooks

Thompson has played the majority of games in his career in the backs with a decent strike rate.

both times he had a one on one with meli a few yards out, both times he backed off and left it too late to make the tackle. Nobody but Arundel fault for Meli first and last try

| its funny how we all see things different, imo arundel did well to score and for there last try thought he had got meli into touch, hes not a winger and i would still like arundel to be given a run at centre, if you think we could have a backline of shaul binman crooks arundel linham rankin miller, all young quick and exiting, ok there defence would need working on but what a prospect,

| maybe our pre season "scapegoats" are playing well..... thompson (why do we sign him)..feka (too old and past it) carvell..(injury prone) westerman..(big transfer)miller..(worst halfback weve had)..yeaman (not played well for years)..jason crookes (not played so cant slag him off)
so we have to have a new scapegoat.... ben crooks has a bad game goalkicking is off so we can use him until someone else plays badly
what fickle supporters
