And is exactly the issue that most worried me when Radford got the job, although thus far I have had no issues with his apparent willingness to sub/drop those not up to scratch.

This week is the real litmus test, imo. And perhaps we're jumping the gun a little.

We will find out about 7
When does the Doncaster squad get announced ?

My main concern with his sub/drop approach has been that, Yeamo aside, they've all been younger players so far. Maybe you're right about us jumping the gun a little but I just have this nagging doubt at the moment that I can't shake that this will be the norm. I hope I'm wrong.

It is favouritism.The youngsters taking the rap for the failure of his mates

I thought Arundel was pretty awful last week although still a bit better than Yeaman.

How are we going to get any consistency or cohesion while Radford is doing the okey cokey with team selection. You're in.... you're out

No problem with him dropping players for poor performance provided he drops the right ones. Up to tonight I'm happy he's done that. As he said in the paper he'd sooner not drop anyone. The players have a responsibility to play to the levels required.

The problem is, we all want him to drop non-performing players. And if different players are not performing at different times, this is what happens.

Arundel was no worse than Yeaman yet it looks like one again hes going to be the one left out

It appears that Yeaman & Horne are bullet proof.

A centre who is unable to pass to his winger, and a halfback who's passing speed is slower than a turtle.

Seen Horne set a few lovely tries up already this year. Last year was coasting the try assists at this time and has been solidly consistent this year so far without being outstanding. Personally I want to see rankin and Miller have a run but rankin albeit in brief run outs hasn't forced himself to be picked at 6.
As rubbish as yeaman was last week he was good vs cas. Although he should be out and certainly not in at arundel expense.

Arundle & Rankin not in 17 - both dropped.

Shaul, Colbon, Crooks, Yeaman, Talanoa, Horne, Miller, Watts, Houghton, Thompson, Hadley, Tuson, Westerman

Subs: Whiting, Pitts, Paleaaesina, Heremaia

from the FC B/Book page

can only hope that Yeamo, Crooks and Horne have trained their s off.

Disappointing.

Mind you, with the pack we've got out tonight we're on a hiding to nothing regardless of who plays in the backs.
