I would have liked to have seen both Crooks and Green back in the side as both have been decent, but I can understand not risking them if they have knocks.

I'd go with:

McDonnell
Lineham
Whiting
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Holdsworth
Lynch
Heremaia
Johnson
Tickle
Westerman
Pitts

Houghton
Watts
O'Meley
Galea

I'D GO WITH THAT

I knew the answer as you did , the point I was making is why does PG make those sorts of comments when he more than anyone should know he's not going to do it. For the most part the disappointment over the last few years is about actions not matching words. The players availability hasn't changed much since Saturday with the exception of Seymour so why make the statement he made?

You'd have to ask PG. But my guess would be a combination of frustration and a hope that some players would be back and give him more options. And technically he will have a different 17 playing on Friday - just not as much different as we might have hoped.

For me the bigger test will be how he rings the changes if players continue to under-perform over a number of games rather than a one-off fiasco performance. Assuming we have players available to come in, of course. It seems a long time since we had a squad that really appeared to be picked on performance alone.

A one-off fiasco performance, Kosh, where have you been this last 4/6 years, i love this team

with every beat !!!! but even i can see its hardly a one off, if i had my way i would drop every

one who played at Widnes, and i guess we would lose 2 points, but it would show them that

us travelling fans deserve much more, all i ask for is effort and the desire to play for this team

So apart form Seymour who has been dropped ? Thought Gentle was going to make wholesale changes after the Widnes game ?

Re: 19 For Friday : Thu Mar 07, 2013 12:06 pm  

I think that was just a slap in the face for the players really - they'll have trained hard for their place this week. As indicated by the interview with Jay Pitts on their website

Out of the squad from last week are Ben Crooks, Green and Seymour.

First 2 picked up injuries without even playing and Seymour is better discussed elsewhere.

Wish Gentle would have been a bit tougher with his selection but if the injuries are true then perhaps his hands are tied a little.

Cheers. I thought ex-Tiger Joe Arundel would have been back at York after last weekend but then again it might be a case of with him playing against his home town team he could redeem himself. Major tacking effort required against Castleford's left hand side. Should be a good game and looking forward to the visit.

The players now know that no matter how bad they play they won't be dropped
