| Quote AL Rhino="AL Rhino"I dont remember this been agreed accross the board. Fair play you have banged on about it long enough but i don't think its nailed on.
In this seasson when he would have got more chances than ever, he is yet again injured. Some of these kids are just injury prone.
Personally if our future is built totally around Watkins and BJB i am a little worried.'"
Oh I don't disagree.....that is why i'm [ualso[/u in favour of giving other promising young uns (like Wilson.. etc) a good run .....and signing a good (NRL?) genuine threequarter (Cooper?) - not another forward masquerading as such. |

What is your obsession with Cooper? He must be nearly as old as Senior. |

Fwiw Cooper is 32 and still performing to a very high standard as shown in the WCC and the NRL this year.
Plus he's way ahead of Senior in current form.(before his injury)

This season is a write off anyway so why not throw one or two of the kids into the fray - give them some experience while it doesn't really count.

I agree with Nantwich on this one. Cooper would still be an outstanding signing, on a maximum 2 year deal. The blind faith in youth, regardless of whether they can cut it, is what I don't particularly agree with. But I'm coming round to the idea that Wilson might be worth a run out. |

Hurrah ! 
With respect there is no 'blind faith' in my sentiments; simply a preference to youth being given an opportunity over the alternative of persisting with tired old [ihas beens[/i that are out of form/long past their best (Senior, Ali, Lleulai, Bailey, Kirke etc) or, worse, playing regulars [u[iregularly[/i[/u out of position (Sinfield, Delaney and Ablett). |

I understand where you're coming from, but the young players have to be good enough, otherwise there's little point. I don't know if they are personally, but I'm sure the coaching staff (like them or not) have their own opinions on that. |

I though Webb was the best player on the field last night. I had my heart in my mouth each time he touched it.
Not seen him play that well for a couple of years.

I thought Danny Buderus was the best player on the field last night, closely followed by Sam Tomkins then Brent Webb. Other notably mentions for Zak Hardaker and BJB from Leeds, and Hoffman and Mossop from Wigan.

Agree -He still looks the part from what I have seen of him in the NRL this year.
Look at Steve Menzies, puts many younger players to shame for skill,dedication and fitness and what is he 36/37. |

Agree but it is a pipe dream that we will get him IMO |
