I think McG and Isa will work good together. I've gone for a strong pack and bench. Aspinwall is a great defender ad can't afford to be left out.



I'm loving struggling to pick a 17 for a change. Walker, jones, Holmes, Arundel, Dixon, Thomson and Owen when fit have all gotta fight to get in this squad.

Mathers

Dixon

Arundel

Isa

Youngquest

Chase

Orr

Huby

Hudson

Fozzard

Snitch

Ferres

Widders



Milner

Walker

Emmitt

Aspinwall



No place for McGoldrick because he's not only a liability he now has better players in front of him in every position he TRIES to play in.

On the other thread it says Isa is playing against the U20 on Wednesday,

Not quite, what it says is:

Arundel should be first choice centre, isa and goldie should fight it out for the other spot.

So what your saying is Arundel is better than Isa?

Given that he has demonstrated his class in sl last year and the friendlies this year and that isa has played less than 1 full friendly at this time i would say yes.

We have read a lot about Orr and Chase wanting to develop an understanding, but I have a worry that came from the Hull friendly.



I would like to see Milner as a direct replacement for Hudson when the changes are being made. If we start messing around with Orr at 9, McGoldrick and Chase in the halves, it does nothing for developing combinations and confidence. I thought we looked far more disjointed when McGoldrick came on in attack and he was left chasing shadows on our right side of defence.



We have a long standing problem with McGoldrick and that he is positionless. He doesn't have one. We constantly tinker and play players out of position to 'accomodate him' somehwere in the line. Matterson has eluded to the fact that now we have Mathers, it frees him up to play in the line. Therefore, I feel we will play the season with both Orr and McGoldrick sharing the most pivotal position in the team and for me...this isn't a good thing.

So what was the point in bringing Isa over here if we arent going to pick him, fair does Arundel looks decent but TM will pick Mcgoldrick and Isa at centres, but Arundels time will come during the season.

Yes

What was the point in developing arundel if we arent going to play him, no player should be on the team sheet till they have proved themselves. I think isa will be a good player for us and i would have him in the centres over mcgoldrick (as none of goldies strengths will be used at centre and his weaknesses will be exposed) the point i'm making is that of the 3 arundel has played more games at centre for us and has looked the best of the 3 in that position while they've been playing for the club. Playing two centres who have played less than 80 minutes at centre for us between them would be just what kear wants.

wait and see
