With a bench of Duffy / Wildbore & Dodd how where are forwards expected to dominate? i know we have injuries but just keep promoting! No team needs 3 backs on the bench never mind 2 fullbacks!!! Yates would have come off no-matter what with that bench!

Come on Cullen you aint that daft get some forwards in the squad! Even Thompson didn't make an appearence untill 2nd half, what a shambles are interchange really is, Last week 'Fax used theres brilliantly where as ours is changes for changes sake!

Danny Mills took part in the pre-match training drill today and looked off the pace even in that.

Give him a few more weeks. No need to shout for him back when we have Flynn and Gaskell playing exceptionally well is there?

If that is so then why do we need him? we seem to have cover, can we not let him go thus releasing room and cash for a player we do need .

There is no reason why Flynn shouldn't finish the season as the league's leading try scorer - I think he has exceptional finishing skills.

Whilst many fans seem to think Gaskill's "one yard forward and two yards back bouncing off opponents props" is entertaining - I don't think that is what he should be doing.

There was one set of six drives early in the game which was Gaskill, Flynn, Yates and Gaskill again -  a gain of 3 yards  - before the ball was given to a forward.

I appreciate Gaskill's work rate in wanting to help his pack - but all too often its wasted tackles.

Why give another team an asset we can have and lose some very good cover?

Mills can be lethal in this league, jus give him time and a chance to play

As I see It to be an asset to a team you have to play, who knows If he Is lethal??I would much sooner have a big prop playing every week!!

he was pretty lethal for the eagles last season, I think he should be given a chance and lets see what he can do, not disagreeing about a big prop though Wink

Just why do are lightweight wingmen expected to drive the ball up the middle?   We have 6 forwards and normally 3 on the bench to do just that.   It is not as if the forwards play the full 80 minutes these days, they are rotated on a regular basis.   In "the good old days" you would have needed a tractor to get the wings off the touchline.
