Cording was thoroughly ineffective in the centres against Widnes, Wood is a loss as it's always handy to have an extra half on the bench, we haven't had Crookes for quite a while. Hopefully the young lad goes well.

Didn't know about all the dual regs, think it will be tough to get a win tonight.

It was great having these dual-regs at the start of the season but as the seasons goes on and SL club pick up injuries etc it's becoming a pain. We have a different starting lineup each week which isn't good at all.

I harp on about it but we have two or three of our homegrown talent in the squad each week. Players like Battye & Hanson have stood up and I think more first team games would help them improve, also, when it comes to licensing it would be good to say how we've got a number of players whose come through the ranks..

It must be so frustrating for Mark,here one week gone the next,no matter what they say it must also phiss off the players that are getting dropped when these players just turn up for games every now and again,I think next season we should limit it to 2 dual regs at most and concentrate on blending a permanent squad together and if that means more game time for youngsters and lesser results then so be it.It makes a bit of mokery of the league,We could have all the dual regs for the play-off games,win them all then get to the final,All of them recalled then get pumelled in the final.Its a strange one.

Agreed with that mate. Put a limit on and stick too it & if we lose a few games because of it then so be it as I think we will reap the rewards in years to come but we need to tick those licensing boxes first...

Position?

Re: Sheffield Eagles vs Barrow Raiders OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD : Thu Jun 30, 2011 11:40 am  

The Star says 2nd row or prop.

Re: Sheffield Eagles vs Barrow Raiders OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD : Thu Jun 30, 2011 12:08 pm  

Probably second row at first team level.
