Beat me to it! Yeh I definitely seen him playing last couple of Gold Coast games, In the second row

Please no. Whiting was very poor when he played centre last season.

you'd risk a player, who hasn't had match time, back from surgery over Logan, who can hold is own in SL played plenty minutes over pre-season??????

Thats about as harsh as it comes!

When Arundel has played he has done no worse than Yeaman. During 2013 he produces SOME good displays (Cas at home and rovers away spring to mind).

As has been pointed out, he stood out when it mattered for Bradford, against his parent club. Hardly a reasonable comment is a beaten team for most weeks.

To be told you're not wanted is hardly the morale booster any player would want, thats bound to have an impact on performance.

That no other club has come in for him suggest the old regimes valuation of him was beyond what other clubs are willing to pay and has no reflection on his actual ability.

Would you take a pay cut to do the same job?

I did suggest JA would be better as first choice 6 & I stick by that, JA is far and away more advanced than Logan in any case & Micheals is a class player, picked for Origin, scored almost 50 tries in circa 120 appearances (have you actually watched Micheals play?). Radford signed Micheals so we use him if he is anywhere near being close, he isn't (or shouldn't be) here as 2nd string back up material unless we have cash to burn and Yeaman is going to remain 1st choice centre along with Sa which would make even less sense if Radford would be looking at Logan as back up centre?

If you're that bothered about my opinions with regard the youth why not have a look at Radford's, last year was an unmitigated disaster, signing of old plodders that were shiate instead of playing the youth
MY OPINION is that I would rather have an underdone Micheals than Logan, but wouldn't be opposed to Arundal, so who would you play and why?

Arundel cant play as he would take us over the salary cap - so that a no go.
Micheals I think will be 1st choice centre with Sa on other centre, when fit. but as Micheals has only a one year deal, he will be looking to perform at his best so earn a extension. to do that it would only be fair to play him fully fit and raring to go, so we can see his best. if he's not 100%, we will not see his best, so wouldn't be fair to judge his impact.
Logan is tried and can more then hold his own in SL, so I say play Logan, until Sa and/or Micheals is 100% then bring them in. Yeaman for me will be back up, along with Logan

It isn't hardsh it's reality and the signing of players like him are the reason for under achieving the last few year, you are right he played well against Cas and Rovers (Both teams that finished below us), but never played well enough against any top sides.

I was at the Bradford game and honestly he was nothing special he finished well, but looked nothing of note against a team that finished 11th.

Ask the Bradford (Struggled to get a place at centre for the team that got relegated) and Doncaster fans what they thought of him, if he doesn't stand out at that level he has no chance at SL.

I'm not a big fan of Yeaman, but IMO his performances have still be above those of Arundel and can produce it against the better sides (As he did on Sunday)

Arundle won't be picked for economic reasons.
Michaels won't be picked for fitness reasons.
Logan should be picked as he has already proved that he is good enough at this level.
None of them will be picked if Sa is available.

So we have 2 of our young players both U19 internationals,Firstly Abdul who is back up to Pryce learning from someone with lots of honours and international experience yet you attack Radford for stopping Abdul's development and then say you would have Logan behind a player(Michaels) lacking match fitness and another(Arundel) whose performances have generally been below par making him 5th choice,now most people would see that as blocking his path to the team.
By the way anyone can get stats off wikipedia regarding Michaels.

Not sure Logan's defence is good enough yet at this level, he got exposed quite a bit in the pre season friendlies.

If Sa's unfit surely you have to play Michaels?

Ellis and sa are out Hadley replacing Ellis not sure who is in centres

Awful news. Damage limitation time.

I agree with that but Radford no doubt will play Whiting
