I don't dispute that missing Lolesi is a big blow for you. I would rate him up with Howell, not better though. Dorn is indeed ordinary and we won't miss him all that much but Purdham is the heart of our team and without him we are very poor indeed. I have seen Huddersfield 4-5 times this season, including against Quins twice, and neither of those players have stood out. They are fairly average in my eyes, steady players, not likely to have a huge impact themselves on the game. Their inclusion would not worry me, put it that way. Similar to Joe Mbu in many ways IMO.

Equating Howell with Jammer. And Raleigh and Kirmond to Mbu. Ho hum

I would not judge your players on your performances against us and recent tv peformances. If I did i would conclude LMS and Randell are SL makeweights - and surely that would be inaccurate.

Some guys tomorrow would not be playing if raleigh and Kirmond were fit. I hope these 'below average guys' do not let us down.

To be fair, he said 'fairly average' not 'below average'

So its OK for you to get upset when I refer to a player as average based on TV appearances and 2 matches, yet you think its mad to compare Howell and "Jammer"?

You can't have seen Howell play very often. One of the best centres in SL this year.

If those players cannot get into the team because of 'fairly average' players then I should have written 'below fairly average' to be precise.

Upset? Always very immature to pretend you know the emotional state of a poster. You don't, live with it.

I was considering a few factors when looking at Howell /Jammer. I was probably influenced by Jammer winning 2 GFs with 2 different clubs and an international cap + many NRL games. Couldn't find much on Howell - but if he rocks your boat that is the main thing

Setting off now. Toodle pip.

A record not to dissimilar to Matt Kings the outstanding SL centre currently plying his trade at Warrington-Hmmmm
