And Johnsone!

Must admit that Betts still baffles me??.
Plays Gore in all three pre-season friendlies, where felt he played well, but then leaves him out for Carberry,(then sends him out on loan).
Personally, still think Gore is both better and quicker than Carberry, but !!.

Good young player is Grant, he just needs to work more on his defence and improving his size, i have seen him get knocked out a few times and stagger off. Carberry whilst might not be as zippy as grant is a better well rounded player at this moment in time.

Suppose an opinion but for me Carberry is too chunky and slow. Prefer Gore myself.

He scored an opportunist try from about 50 yards johnson never scored it was him who made the pass for kyle trout to score . Hopefully we can keep these 2 all season on loan they where our 2 standout players pity we lost the game but it was against a very strong Halifax team

Not criticising DB, but I was surprised when Gore was shipped out for a month. With Brown concussed, Gore is a better option than Craven IMO. he can fill in at half back or hooker and the last game I saw him play(home against St Helens last season), he was outstanding. Since then, the lad's not had a look in and it's hard to see why. Not saying he should start every week, but should be in the 19 every week for me.

Thing is, I think most of the fans who watch the Vikings feel that young Grant is worth his place before Carberry, unfortunately it's Denis Betts that picks team. Let's hope that he knows something we don't.

Gore has had far more of a chance than Carberry has. Liam deserves his chance as he's done well in appearances so far. I'd probably say Carberry has played about 8 SL games in total, whereas Gore has probably had 30+ first team games. I don't think Gore will be back long term in the team at Widnes, if he was going to break through he'd have done it by now.

I don't think Betts is beyond criticism just because he is coach. He does make some odd choices and decisions.
Gore looks a better bet as half back cover than Craven and at hooker than Carberry but Denis does seem to have his favourites.Talk of his playing 30 odd first team games is misleading as most of those came at championship level.Craven has played many more games than Gore at SL level and still looks no nearer the required standard after 4 years.
