Yeah agree about Walters, but I've noticed he has a tendency to flap a bit in D even coming through the academy. I think it's just height, long levers and a relative lack of upper body strength combined. He gets stuck in but I've seen him miss a few tackles if he has a weakness in his game currently. It will come as he develops. Going forward he is already a handful at SL level.

Cant agree with that one at all. Infact I think he has looked better defensively in his two shots than expected. He looks ready made for part of the first team, and would without doubt be getting that more often at say Wigan and Saints currently. So why ok for them to do it?

On the game the other night he looked really good, but Broadbent was the main one to really really impress.

With regards Connor, hope it works for the lad, he certainly has the attitude, but where the world would he fit? He is certainly not an hooker, and I strongly believe in both games, we would have had a shot had we had a proper hooker in place. He doesn't at the moment look like he could handle physically another forward position, so totally unsure where? only a changce and time will determine if he can handle it, but he certainly shouldn't be ahead of Walters in any first team plans, unless of course they see him as a bench utilitly who will be the second hooker rester.

Taking from the comments from Myler in YEP today that he has, as expected, been given FB and Walker drops out.

Looking at the team Peter Smith has picked the only change i would make is Smith for Cuthberston.

I agree Gotcha Walters should have been used before now even if it was just 20 mins off the bench.I hope as i posted earlier he is first in line if there is an injury to our starting second rows.

I don't think anyone has said it is just about 'Bulking up'.

Would you not expect the club to bulk him up considering he plays a high impact position?

Re: CCF | Salford Red Devils (W) : Thu Oct 15, 2020 11:30 am  

21 man squad announced. For me its the Semi line up,

Myler
Handley
L.Sutcliffe
Hurrell
T.Briscoe
Gale
Lui
Mik
Leeming
Ava
Mellor
Martin
Prior

Dwyer
Donno
Smith
Holroyd

Holroyd played semi and Hull so just gets the nod over Cuthbo whos last 2 games were Cats and Wire.

Walker, L.Briscoe and A.Sutcliffe miss out.

Thinks you would ruin him if you did.

The 17 is pretty obvious for this one apart from a bench spot that will be occupied by either Cuthbertson and Holroyd. For me it's a bit of a tough one because I think Holroyd deserves to be in 17 for his efforts and he did get nod for semi final win over Wigan but with it being Cuthbo's last year with us it would be a nice touch for him to leave with another challenge cup winners medal for his commitment and service to club since 2015. if we were to get the win Saturday but I think Agar will give Holroyd a bench spot and full deserved he'll be in our 17 most weeks for rest of this season and next.
