Team for Halifax : Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:48 pm  

I would go with


1. Loz Wildbore
2. Paddy Flynn
3. Richard Varkulis
4. Toa Kohe Love
5. Danny Mills
6. Anthony Thackeray
7. James Webster
8. Michael Ostick
9. Mark Smith
10. Jim Gannon
11. Lee Doran
12. Richard Fletcher
13. John Duffy

14. Gavin Dodd
15. Ben Kavanagh
16. Josh Simm
17. Sam Thompson

I would rest Dean Gaskell and Scott Yates/Shane Grady, it's a good time to give Mills a run on the wing and we still maintain a good solid side.

Happy for you to rest Gaskell, he looked useful the couple of times I've seen him.

Our most dangerous along with Paddy Flynn, Mills needs a run at some stage though and i think now is a good time.

Gaskell doesn't need resting unless he's injured. We have 7 days til our next game against Leigh which is ample. Mills can get a run out against a side that won't finish in the top 2 this year, his match fitness will be way off the pace.

I think Wildbore needs 3-4 games at full back to show what he can do, seems to be trying too hard when he comes on at the moment and it's not working.

The times I have seen him play, both for you and Fev, I can honestly say I don't remember him ever passing the ball. All I seen him do is throw a very poor dummy as he drops his shoulder in an attempt to get inside the centre. Fair one, sometimes it works and he looks impressive, but right now he looks out of shape and a yard slower than in the past

With regard to Loz, he has been played out of position once or twice, and yet still insists on playing as though he is FB. Looks a little heavy but still pacey. Although wish like you say 'he'd offload and pass' on a more frequent basis,.

I agree completely with you Moz... he is playing like a fullback which is I guess natural for someone that has played there so often.

He is making breaks though and if only they could work on getting him to give the pass then we will benefit more from having him in the side.

It was completely frustrating on Sat night to see him do so well only to get caught at the very last minute rather than throw the pass to Webster completely in the clear. I don't know whether it was the adrenaline, his desire to impress or that he is greedy. If it is the latter then if they can work that out of him we do have a very good player on our hands...


Agree about Hartley too soldierboy.. fwiw

Mills will be lucky at all if he gets a game this season.
