What's Rankin done wrong? Is it that he's not set the world alight that fans are bagging him?

Thought we all wanted the team picked on form? Rankin was off form at Saints and poor against Wire, we have other options, why not try them?
If he has a decent game against Bradford does that give him another stay of execution? How long do we let poor form go on for?

I don't expect Carvell to play.

I'd like to see Tuson given a week at Doncaster to get some match fitness.

Maybe same team as last week, maybe even bring Watts on for Pitts and Thompson can go back on bench to play 2nd row.

Id have no probs with that. Maybe start with whiting and Tuson on the Bench though.

Don't wanna be overly critical of some people and it's all about opinions but to be talking of dropping rankin (a young kid that only got here a matter of weeks before season started and only 3 games in) is some truly dumb shizzle!
Think his coming off is more to do with trying to find a way to accommodate both Aaron and Danny without sitting one down for too long!
Think if pack continues its form and we can keep making improvements discipline and error wise and therefore have the ball more I'm sure with the platform he'll go well.

The only reason I suggested that it was time to give Miller a go was that Radford has subbed Rankin in the last two games which seems unusual. If he's not happy with Rankin then is it time for Miller to have a chance again?

EDIT: 100th post! Woohoo!

all this talk about which player is to be in the team etc is all very interesting,but what I am looking to see against Bradford,after( two decent performances against top sides),is a different attitude from last year to a game we are,what with all bradfords troubles,we are expected to win. I think this game will tell us if radders is making a real difference!

Good point. For the most part I don't think you could question the players attitudes in recent seasons against the likes of Saints and Warrington and the same can be said this year. But it's these games against the likes of Bradford and Wakey were (on paper at least) we are expected to win that we often come up short in attitude.

This.

Not seen the wire game yet but if Rankin was 'poor' then Miller should come in for him.

Agreed.

We will never get a good half back pairing if we keep dropping players after 2 indifferent performances, away from home.

Rankin did some impressive things against Catalans at KC and deserves longer to settle in the team.

Looking forward to this game.

If Carvell and Watts are both fit enough I'd like to see them in. Reason for this is Bradford pack is fairly weak. If they could be dominated for the entire game I think we could see a fairly high scoring win.

I want to see what Tuson can bring to the team. Even if it means dropping someone who played well at Warrington.

I'd rather have consistency and give the team chance to gel. Pointless dropping a player who played "well" for a debutant!
