I can see where Boyle, and Cas fans are getting a bit miffed that he isn't playing, i'd like to have seen more from him too. I think at times TM has been guilty of not playing him when he should have been, (eg-when we've had quite a few out, Boyle should be playing) but i also think TM doesn't want to just use Ryan as a battering ram and knack him up before his time. Hopefully Ryan will get another four or five games at least before this season is over.

I'll echo that sentiment. Boyle is too young to beplaying week in week out at prop, it will ruin any longevity his career might have.
That said I don't think we can afford to carry Boyle and Higgins and would much rather Higgins left that RB.

Ryan Boyle born 17 October 1987
Craig Huby born 21 May 1986

Higgins is still a young prop too, and he's had some good performances. I'd like to see us keep them both.

As for being too young, Westy is getting a battering week in week out, and is even younger so RB should be able to cope

I think his point is that hudds gates are being artificially inflated by the cheap season ticket offer. I dont think thats a bad think though, i wish that every team in rl could offer something similar. The acid test will be if your crowds drop or not when the offer ends.

Agree about higgins. Oh and you forgot to mention that boyle is as hard as nails.

In my opinion Huby has played too many first team games for us, but this has been borne out of necessity rather than anything else and I believe it will affect the length of his career. Also, Huby has already had more than his fair share of injuries and he doesn't run it in with the same amount of pace or impact as Boyle. He's a different type of prop
With reference to Higgins' I agree he has served us well and hasn't really let us down, but I think he's as good as he's ever going to get and perhaps more importantly I don't think he would get in any of the teams above or around us and that's what I mean about not being able to afford to carry him and RB. I just think we should be looking a little higher if we want to progress.

Just my humble opinion of course.

Boyle had a brilliant first game back after a 2mnth spell with the reserves he deserves to be picked again this weekend, also I spoke to someone very close to Boyle who told me that waky wanted him within the next two week and Bibb was about to move to Cas in his place but Boyle spoke to Terry and told him he didn’t want to leave Cas but wanted to know if he was going to be playing any more first team games, so it makes me wonder if this is why TM picked him so that he wouldn’t move and before Boyle had just been the easy choice to drop but with that display hopefully not anymore.

look forward to boyle coming to wakey, with the right coach, he will come on in leaps and bounds. i agree with you. i don't think he has had a fair crack at the whip, under matterson
