Other than Whitehead and Crossley no.

cheers for the insight, I just hope these lads that can have a go at it get some decent game time in the remaining matches. Might as well use them to get these lads used to it this year so we can judge if they can play a fuller part next year. I'd especially like to see Crossley given a go as I've not seen him yet.

Is it worth considering using remaining games to blood the lad Horton at hooker, and use Newton as a sort of 'mentor'. Seeing as Newton is leaving anyway, a good use of his remaining time might be to bring through the academy player, maybe working on stuff in training and then spelling them in 20 minute slots in matches to bring it onto the pitch.

I should say that I've never seen Horton play and have no idea if he is even ready....

It's just a thought

RER what about Olbison? Or are you disregarding him due to his size aswell?

For a forward yes but if he played Centre maybe not as much.

How should we fill the bench this week?

Well dependant on performance we could look at quick setting concrete? Hopefully we could stretch to enough to fill that portakabin at the top of the steps as well?

Thanks. What are your views on Hyde? Would he be ready to have a spell at stand-off or FB off the bench?

Be careful with the half time drinks, he could be a changed man in the second half. Tries again.
