It's more difficult than that though, York actually acquired their own full back in the off season and have chosen to play him instead of Shaul. Fair enough really, just means that Shaul can't get a game, which isn't ideal. That said,when he has had an opportunity there he's hardly made a good impression.

We should have looked to loan him out.

Early season he was perfoming really well, hasn't continued in that vein and not seeing as many tackle breaks albeit he still makes good metres. Not done much wrong all season and won't be dropped for Shaul. Much as I was impressed with Shaul in the Easter Monday game at Wakey, he needs to be patient and await his opportunity, certainly one for the future.

The problem is that our Full Back Tom Carr is having an outstanding season so far, and we have a pretty settled back line who play very well when our pack is on top.

One regular in that back line is yours however. He is playing very well indeed, and thats Jack Briscoe.

Reading Shaul's tweets last night I saw nothing in it really. I can understand his frustrations in not being able to redeem himself by getting a game anywhere though.

York and Hull's Dual-Registration partnership is working very well in my opinion, as we are using it exactly how it should be. Lads not getting games is an unfortunate downside to it though.

Is the bigger issue here not more about how we use this extra pivot rather than who actually is listed as FB. We can't seem to get our FB in the game, in the attacking sense that other clubs do. Tomkins and Brett Hodgson are the obvious ones but for all Eden's faults he gets plenty of trys and chimes in all the time, Grix at Hudds is very pivotal, the young kid at Catalans etc.

McDonnell appears to be very handy on his feet, has good balance and isn't slow so why aren't we utilising him more?

You sound absolutely furious that we aren't utilising him more often?

Maybe Gentle just needs to get the word out that we need to get the link going?

Boy, you're right there.

And I know it.

We are both having a wow of a game don't you think?

I`m with you.

Absolutely shoooperb.

you daren't drop him. He was a game changer signed on more wages then Rovers could fathom. We on the other hand signed a no mark who is now playing out of his arris and binding a player on mega bucks. Go figure.

a bargain bucket, two DVD hires from Blockbuster and a monthly all you can eat at Mr Chu's?

seriously, you don't know what McDonnel earns, you just listen to your short snake of a chairman.

Amazes me how people just embarrass themselves by claiming to know how much players earn even in relative terms. You are totally clueless as to what contract he is on but still think that by including this in your post it somehow carries extra weight. It doesn't because you don't know how much he earns relatively do you ? Or did you hear a whisper in Salthouse tavern ?
