I dont think anyone is writing him off.
This was all in response to a certain poster writing off half of the current side and wanting to replace them with just about anyone, regardless of their ability to play in the positions that suited that particular poster's agenda.
All youngsters develop at differing speeds and some dont make the grade but, that's a whole different subject to wanting to replace 4/5 first team regulars with untried youngsters (Reynolds apart) although our "friend" wanted him to play #9.

Avenger posted "Gwaze is never going to be SL level " if that is not writing him off then I don`t know what is?

Lets not get dragged down to the posters level.

So you want to play a guy with a broken hand at full back?
A prop who has never played super league at 13
A half back at hooker
And a young prop who I think is still actually competing his studies at college.

Sure. You're not trolling at all.

Please do not derail the thread.

Hampshire - Max Jowitt - As already mentioned I swapped Max to Hooley.

Hirst- Yusuf Aydin - Aydin is literally known for his effectiveness at loose forward during his time at Eastmoor (albeit amateur). Does this mean he should never get his chance because he's never played there?

Randell - Ben Reynolds "Half back at hooker" Kyle Wood was originally a halfback? Reynolds as I said earlier has played 1, 6, 7, 9, 13 and I beleive back in the Champ days he played on the wing.

Crowther -Titus Gwaze Why have him in our squad if the excuse of college means he can't play rugby?

I suggest you go and watch a few academy games as he hasn't played in one this season, he's been out on loan, he is sa totally different kind of player to Jordy and offers no where near the work rate in defence, and can only run in a straight line as most props do, you do know Jordy is a 2nd rower/loose forward don't you?
Seems you don't watch many games

Jesus... at what point did I state I'd watched him this season?

Nothing says they can't play those positions but to choose them randomly to fill positions for the first time is just not right for them or the club.
If you want to replace Crowther (which I wouldn't but it's your choice) you have King, Batch, Annakin, Randall and Tanginoa all with more experience than the kid who is still learning his trade. You'd cause more damage than good.
But you knew that already of course.

You suggested a poster above go watch some games rather than use Google..... So I'm assuming your logic for these picks is in fact from Google then?

Re: Team for Salford : Wed Jun 12, 2019 10:11 am  

To get back on track I think id go with this team.

Rocky
Kershaw
MCB
Lyne
BJB
Miller
Brough
Fifita
Randell
England
Kirmond
Kelepi
Crowther

Wood
Hirst
Pauli
King

Assuming Ashurst, Batch and Tupou are still out.
Croft saved for another day. If Tupou plays I'd probably put MCB on the wing but I do like Kershaw.

That's quite hypocritical wouldn't you say? James Batchelor aged 21 with 28 SL games under his belt, personally I would say he's also still learning his trade and Batch has prodimiatley played in the SR so I reckon it'd be fair to say you'd cause more damage than good.

But you knew that already of course.

I'd don't know why you're trying so hard to make out that I'm trolling but no, you assumed wrong. I went down and watched him in the academy but not once did I state that it was this season.

Not sure about Salfords form, they’ve lost their last four games. Chuck in a couple of injuries they’ve got and i reckon we’ve a decent chance.

We couldn’t score against Leeds - and Brough even missed the penalty kick. Either our attack steps up or Salford’s defence crumbles, perhaps both have to happen.

Gwaze is no where near SL level and IMO won’t make it to that standard. I understand that he’s still developing but he’s a long way off
