Who would you keep? : Sat Apr 23, 2011 9:09 am  

I've been thinking the last couple of days about the Halifax game and although we won, the performance was still miles below par conceding 36 points at home. I did say to my friend however that as long as we beat Fax thats all i'm worried about but i still have my doubts.

clearly Thackeray is now crossed off everyone's list of who we should take to SL so who does that leave us with.

Ben Kav - got his SL contract and continues to show us why he deserves one?
Danny Hulme? - good young exciting player who should definately be considered to be playing first team on a regular basis to see how he gets on.
Danny Craven - very good prospect who was blended into a first team player without any problems.
Flynn - Some people are still unsure about flynn but i think with full time training he would be brilliant. Fast, strong in the tackle, not bad defensively and the majority of times is good undera high ball. still only 23.
I'anson - great kicking game and good hands.
Finnigan and Allen maybe i'm not convinced yet. Apart from the youngsters we've rarely seen, who else would you take to SL?

Houghton? Grady? Opinion divided on the latter.

To be fair i don't think grady has let us down at all this year. In my opinion is one of the better tacklers in the team and runs the ball in hard. Maybe with fulltime training he is someone to take a risk with. Still only 20/21 and has some developing to do.

Tomkins would be a great signing but i'd like to see Lunt given a go personally. Hopefully when players like Gore and Gilmore get fit they are given runouts this year instead of getting DR players in. Taking nothing away from Mellor and Tomkins though, they've had good games for us so far.

1: Danny Craven
4: Steve Tyrer
5: Paddy Flynn
7: Chaz I'Anson

10: Daniel Heckenberg
11: Dave Allen
12: Kurt Haggerty
13: Simon Finnigan
14: Thomas Coyle

17: Ben Kavanagh

20: Shane Grady
21: Tom Kelly
24: Danny Hulme
25: Chris Lunt

32: Lewis Whitty
33: Tom Gilmore
34: Jack Owens
36: Anthony Mullally
37: Danny Sculthorpe

Not included the youngsters, which include Grady and K Haggerty. We should keep the majority of the youth. Maybes in red, probables in blue, definates in green.

It still fascinates me why there are questions over Paddy.

He's stronger now, probably just as quick, can play in a couple of positions. More than deserved a shot at SL if you ask me.

Even if we sign a better winger Paddy would provide reliable cover in both positions.

Quote me on this but I wouldn't bet against Paddy getting rep honours in the next few years during SL. I don't see a better winger than him in our league. His defensive reads this season have been outstanding, never misses a catch and a top returner of the ball. Not his fault doesn't get any service but when he does is a very good finisher. I'd love to see him outside Tyrer!
