Finn and Howarth the potential doesn't exactly leave you salivating with optimism. They would be the slowest half backs in SL so that would be something. I don't remember Howarth having the skills to break open the opposition.
This idea is probably best left on the paper rather than on the field.

It appears that a fully fit Stuart Howarth seems to be doing ok and Scott Moore may have a fight on his hands to gets his hooking berth back from your '4th choice' hooker!

I remember it, and I stand by it.

Spot on but you might as well be talking to a lump of coal.

Further to that I'd like to see Moore back ASAP because as I wouldn't mind Howarth moving into the halves. Everybody is banging on about Hall (personally I don't get it) when IMHO Howarth is far more the real deal.

Howarth in the halves?! You've excelled yourself this time! Someone needs to take your password off you.

You my friend are an absolute gem!
How can you stand by it, when he is proving that he is good enough for SL?
They say that the first signs that you need help is denial and it appears you need plenty!

What has he proved exactly? We're three games in, lost two and scraped past an injury hit Hull KR side?

Hey, surely nobody can be disappointed with Howarth's efforts so far. And he's a try scoring machine! Leave him at hooker though, not in the halves.

Re: first team players : Mon Feb 22, 2016 11:44 pm  

Howarth in the halves? Not sure if this is a wind up similar to your annakin in the centres line

And that's all Howarths fault is it?
He's proved to be one of our best at all he moment, who seems to have grasped what is required of him from the coach.
Not bad from your '4th choice' hooker.
So I would say he has proved you wrong already.
Just think what sort of start we could have had if all the team had played like him?
But if you want to steadfastly stick to your guns by rubbishing him, that's up to you and display's your inability to admit when you're wrong.

Re: first team players : Tue Feb 23, 2016 6:33 am  

Based upon his performances this season, he does deserve to keep his place in the squad.

However, having Moore in the squad would speed up our play around the play the ball.

Someone on this board recently mentioned about quality sides having creative players in more positions, than just the half backs.

What about him playing at 13

If you think it only takes 3 games for a player to prove themselves, then that's your call. When Moore is fit, out of him, Howarth and Sio, who would you leave out?
