I recon Gentle thought it best to leave Shaul until the derby, and then the sad fans can crucify him at Easter.

He has only played for York once, away at Whitehaven on the opening day of the season.

What about Nicklas.

Played every game apart from Sheffield away. Was very impressive in the wins against Swinton and Workington but was pretty anonymous in defeats to Batley and Keighley. All 17 of them we're bloody awful against Keighley to be fair.

When playing behind a dominant pack he can certainly do some damage, but he is prone to the odd brain explosion.

Is there a position Richard Whiting hasnt played

I agree with some posts. Also agree with the like of wigan leeds etc blooding in there youngsters.

But also IMO wigan, leeds etc can blood in there youngsters with ease because they have quality players. There youngsters come into the side to give the stars a rest.
But i do feel bowden, kent and green should play more though. Nicklas well that's upto him. Didn't show much when used before but with a decent go who knows.

Have to be careful how many youngsters you blood at once. I personally don't think Niklas will ever pay for us again.

Heard a whisper that Green didn't play due to a contractual issue, not sure what it is?

Green and Bowden have had a few appearances and should play more i feel sorry for Kent he was coming on good last year and not had a sniff of an appearance this year id put him in for galea tbh

Yeah i know, i'm agreeing with a previous post stating they should play more.

I think bowden should replace pitts on the bench because i think he's one of our better props. Also closest thing to Sam Moa we have. Good drives, big hits and always gets back up. Green well, i'm still enjoying him mocking Peacock against Leeds. Only good thing about that game.

kent is still injured or has just recovered from an injury i think

You would play Kent (who has not played a match for months, and isnt that good of a prospect IMO) over Galea who is one of our top scorers??

FWIW I wouldnt be playing Galea - i would have Westerman in the left Second Row position to use his ball skills to get that left side firing, but no way would i replace Galea with a youngster who hasnt shown as much as Green, Bowden etc have

would like to see green and bowden get more game time,both good prospects imo

i would yes once he was fit id have him in the squad over galea any day and only if they was him and galea fighting for the place but they isn't we have westy and tickle fit atm so id play them 2
but getting to your point about him not performing as well as other youngsters is that maybe because when he got his chance he played prop when we was short when he was probably big enough to play centre at a push??? and he did not put a foot wrong or take a backwards step he was really strong if i remember rightly

I just think your pushing out youngsters names for the sake of it when they wouldnt actually offer anything more than the people currently playing there.

You have a case with Lineham over Crookes, Green over Pitts, Bowden over Johnson etc - but not Kent over Galea
