Opportunity for young lads : Mon Apr 21, 2014 8:45 am  

With Kirmond, Lautiti, Tautai and Godinet injured and Washbrook struggling for form is there an opportunity for one of the younger lads to force themselves into the team on a regular basis?

Previously I've seen a few of them play brilliantly only to be dropped the next week. So what must they do to retain their place?

You often see this at "bigger" clubs, players brought in and then rested, thats the way to do it imo.

What happens at Wakey i don't know, it seems they are used as "fill in" and then dropped, i may be wrong but thats how it seems to me.

So i don't know the answer.

What we will see is effort and pride in wearing the shirt

Would this team restore some faith and pride in the supporters, would they show the regular players what it means to play for Wakefield Trinity they might not win many games but they'd work themselves to a standstill and force the opposition to fight for their victory.

What about young Crowther added to that list he let no one down when played at Wigan.Its what we need at this moment in time bring some in and say right its up to you and if you have a good game you are in the next game and those not in will have to fight like hell to get back in and know they have to play to stay in.

Sorry, forgot about Crowther but I'd find a place for him in the team

I agree Al they are used to fill in then Agars favourites come back into the team. Look at cowling for example filled in then dropped. Only one thats had plenty of chance is Wildie and hasn't taken it in my opinion. That Shulver on boxing day looked useful.

What's the difference between being brought in then rested, and being used to fill in then dropped?

Is it just the perception of fans? I would suggest that if we weren't getting hammered every week, we as fans wouldn't be looking down into the darkest recesses of the squad list, clutching at straws for an answer to our problems; or lamenting the loss of players who despite their apparent value, have yet to secure a SL berth.

The first 17 are under-performing - that's the reality; Matty Wildie and Lucas Walshaw won't solve that.

Don't think there will be many on here think that walshaw and wildie would turn things round but if the first 17 arnt performing surely that means giving others a chance and on the basis of your post you must agree with agar on who are our first 17
