What you’ve got to recognise is that the majority of the young lads that have made the Super League squad over the last few years weren’t identified and signed by Mark Applegarth but by his predecessor Richard Kelly.Batchelor
Aydin
Hall
Bowes
Butterworth
Kershaw
Croft
Shaw
Windrow
Abraham
Schoffield
and I’m sure I’ve missed some, we’re all signed by Kelly.
Now maybe I’m wrong but Applegarth wouldn’t be the first coach who judged another coaches players more harshly than other players.
That doesn’t explain the absence of Eseh but Bowes has certainly been hard done by IMO and why hasn’t Windrow been given a chance. Then there’s the almost eager acceptance to let such as Aydin, Hall, Croft, shaw and Batchelor leave when they’re better than what’s been retained and recruited as replacements.
