You do know hudds are fielding the youngest back line in the competition. Two 19yr olds a 20 yr old a 21 year old and Jerry.
Not sure why you think Newman should miss out.

Some young forwards too Jools. Fair play to Hudds for giving youth its chance. There is some potential at Hudddersfield and if you can keep them together over next few years you have the makings of a very good team.

It does appear so. The two “polar bears” in Matty English and Oliver Wilson show some great promise for forwards so young. Both are fearless, those kind of sick puppies that love the collision
The future bodes well, I just hope having to chuck them in all at once doesn’t backfire. But I’m glad we did that rather than get in loanees like KR.

So did I, but if we start off badly for s third game on the trot, that would give serious questions about preparation and mentality with this team.

I thought we looked far better against Hull but we simply have to start better, we were awful for the first 15 minutes

Sutcliffe has played centre before. He was good in attack but weak in defense. Give Newman another crack for me.

Re: SL RD 24 | Huddersfield Giants (A) : Fri Aug 02, 2019 7:03 am  

Newman is going to learn so much from this season he'll become a very very good player but hes a weak link in defence at present with which we cant afford, however I'd like to see him keep his place as he gives us more threat in attack

There is lapses, but Hurrells defence is a far more concerning weak link.

Haven't seen all the recent games, but when was the last time Newman made a decent contribution in attack?

If we want to tighten up and reduce scope for errors then Sutcliffe should play centre.

Re: SL RD 24 | Huddersfield Giants (A) : Fri Aug 02, 2019 7:22 am  

Hurrell also coughs up more ball. I’d stick with Harry, it’s a great learning experience for him, but he needs more support from his inside defender telling him which man he has.
