The aim of any young fringe player should be to fit into a teams set up without disrupting the established "game plan"
It would seem those who played yesterday did exactly that, thus showing Sheens that when called upon they are ready and able.

As for replacing the "older" players already wearing the jersey, you have to be 100% certain that they are going to do a better job over a longer period.

Also does their performance's yesterday justify Sheens wisdom in allowing them to play A team rugby for Saints ?

Jubby was great as always and will never let anyone down, I can see him getting more game time in the near future and Wardill did well on his return and second row looks to suit his style of play better, I look forward to seeing more of him too. On the highlights reel the try saving tackle (3rd Minute of Clip) by Will Oakes was out of the top drawer that was worth the entry fee alone. If we conceded at that point it would have been Game set and match a lot earlier. I went to Toulouse and to be honest that kid had a great game too and he was still chasing back in the final minute even though he was playing his 3rd game in 8 days, I listened to Radio Humberside in my ear whilst there and they did not know which player was which, this made the whole listening experience pointless and the amount of players they got mixed up was ridiculous. I thought Abdull was awful and ZDC isn't a half for me and that is why we failed to create, if we had creative halves then we would of triumphed in that game.

Why is there not being a derby a good thing?

I think people are glad there's no derby as its totally been over done the past 10 years.

In the good old days derby matches were some thing to look forward to. Two matches a season, one home, one away unless we met in a cup tie. Then the RFL started playing silly buggers. The usual games plus an additional one to make up game numbers plus magic weekends. Playing four competitive matches plus a pre season friendly! Even when they stopped playing some teams three times in the regular season there were still four if you include the friendly.

Talk about overkill.

a fair assessment and point, at this stage our halves in my opinion are not good enough to get us through the middle 8s, we do need some zip there,abdul to loose forward I would move quinlan to stand off based on his aussie clips, hes also pretty weak at one on one tackles as last man,but can break the line and is elusive, give moss a run at full back surely all the Bradford fans aren't wrong,
