Arundel does what a good centre is supposed to do.
He can tackle, can pass and knows when to pass and looks after his winger.
Before Arundel got injured against Sheffield the other season, he and Tom were forming a super partnership.
He's a quality player.

Keith Smith wasn't too bad.

Really ?

8 of your starters out? suspect your coach wouldn't see it like that? Did you ever actually get into our half without a penalty assist or in some cases 2 on the trot, we dropped the ball on at least two occasions when we would have expected to score. Agree you should be pleased with result as its closest you will come to a win this season against the trinity.


PS we were also lacking randall, huby, horo and had a largely second string set of backs on the field for most of the second spell

yes

mcgillvary (worlds best winger)
cudjoe (club captain)
ikahihfo (dream team select)
leeming (first choice hooker)
wakeman (starting prop for us, italian international)
symonds (star aussie signing from nrl but injury prone)
mcintosh (23 apps last season and 12 tries on the wing opposite mcgillvary)
mellor (28 apps in 2017 season)

8 first teamers.

I'll give you McGillvary. You can jog on with the rest though. I also love how being an Italian international is somehow an important quality since any man and his dog can quailify.

World’s best winger, my booty!

Re: squad for huddersfield : Sun Jan 21, 2018 6:03 pm  

I was thimking Will Carling. Keith Smith was very good for Trinity at either centre or stand off.

Correct. It's desperate and embarrassing.

considering we had 8 players out i was quite pleased with the result, could have almost snatched it in the end too!

good prep for when we return with our first team

It's a thirty man game now if you can't put a good 17 put with just 8 missing you're suffed mate and let's be honest how many of those 8 were crucial - come off it.
