So, you'd move Horne to the centres? Radford proclaimed him the best half-back at the club. Clearly you disagree.

He's NOT a centre, neither is Whiting. We HAVE centres at the club. We also have Yeaman.

My point still stands, it was well advertised by his family that he was fit and ready, club physio's said he was good to go. Not saying those opinions were right or wrong, just stating Gentles reasons for picking him. Given his form it would have been hard not to.

We need to stop with the sliding defence for starters. We don't look like we talk to each other whilst trying to slide etc, so it looks like its a panic line, hence why teams are out numbering us when the ball is shipped over to the wings.

Whiting at Centre, Rankin and Miller in the Halves, hopefully take the line on better this time. Also hoping that the forwards(minus paea) were embarrassed by getting battered about at NCP, so they step up and kick ass

i reckon paea has been saving himself for this game against his old club,i also think he will roll over their forwards like a bulldozer.just my thoughts.

Great so we've got players who just save themselves for particular games!!

Bit touchy aren't we?

To me, and i apologise if i've read it wrong, but saying things like "Gelling had Crooks for breakfast, Dinner etc" and "Crooks can't complain at being dropped" and "if Crooks plays well he stays in" does read as singling him out.

For me he deserves a run at left centre to see if that suits him better.

TBF though, running from dummy half really isn't one of Crooks' strengths, so I'm fine with others taking more responsibility than him for that. I think he'll improve that area if/when he bulks out a bit more (as will a couple of other areas of his game).

You make this sound like a new thing. It's been a well known issue for years!

So Paea was saving himself for when he plays us when he last played us????

just my personal thoughts.

I'd have kept Bowden in squad in place of Caevell and brought Green into 2nd row.

Is Green fit? I thought he was injured.

Been playing for Doncaster for past month
