Agreed, the youngsters will get plenty of chances when injuries occur.
@Isiah - The youngsters can already see that when injuries happen Gentle will quite happily bring in the younger player to cover that position. It will now give the youngsters more to play for in the U20's now they know they will get a chance if/when an injury in their position happens.

| Quote: Isaiah "Under normal circumstances I could agree with you, but the damage done by the last regime is going to take a lot of mending. I think our short term priority has to be development, or we could end up just being a long term top 8 team.
(imho) It is best to know just what we have coming through the ranks, before the new season of letting players go and bringing new players in.'"
I would of thought the first team youngsters are developing all the time in a full time environment, plus the added bonus of the dual contract scheme playing at a higher level.It all looks very good for the future.

| Until we start looking like a coherent attacking unit, then we shouldn't even consider blooding any youngsters unncessarily

| Just watched the Widnes/wigan highlights. Widnes looked good attacking wise, but shocking defensively.

My thoughts exactly.
Once Gentle has the team playing how he wants with all the errors and mistakes cut out then and only then would I be tempted to tinker slightly if the opportunity arises in the CC but not in SL or against SL opposition unless we have no option due to injuries/suspension.

| I'd play strongest line up but wouldn't play anyone who's carrying a knock, ie. Martin.

Exactly, anyone would think we were Wigan, or something.

| With our attack still not firing properly, Sunday would be a great time to try and fix that. Not the best team defensively so we should have plenty of opportunity around their line to work on converting chances into points.
We have three very winnable games ahead of us. I think we should put out full strength (or as near to as we can bearing in mind any injuries) and try and string a good run together and pick up some momentum going into the derby match.

| The youngsters will get they chances one day But you don't play to many at the same time
The strongest team every time for me .Blend the young ones in only in an emergency .I would
play Ellis at loose man on Sunday Hull click when he played there on Friday It just might pay off again on Sunday

| I personally would take the opportunity to blood Ben Crooks in a little bit. He has a massive future ahead of him in my opinion and think this would be the perfect time to see what he could do for his. Afterall, it didn't do Tom Briscoe any harm!!!!
I wouldn't do a Wigan though and rest several key players and already think they have the 2 points in the bag!!

They could be kicking themselves come the end of the season, throwing away 2 points like that. Lets not make the same mistake.

Too right, Lets not make the same mistakes Wigan did. If anything that should be a lesson to other SL Clubs.

| I think we've got a good chance to rack up a big score. Put a couple of kids on the bench then if the games safe bring them on with no pressure. I agree we're still not getting it right on the fifth tackle. hopefully brandy and cigars in the south stand by 60 mins

| We should play our strongest team and try and take the points, as we should in every game.
Fringe players will get their chance during the season with injuries/suspensions etc. At the moment we should be just foocussing on winning the next game and climbing the table.
With each win we'll build more confidence and we'll all enjoy it more, crowds will rise and the club will be healthier.
Let's face it, although we got a good win at Saints, it's been a fine line so far this season we could have won every game just as easy as we could have lost every game.
Things are looking more positive, but let's remember where we've just come from. We are hardly The Invincibles and can't start picking and choosing how we are going to perform in matches.
