Hmmm....does anybody still believe the acadmey 'youngsters' are still not ready/capable to step up to SL first team action?
Singleton brilliant; Sutcliffe confident and assured; Keinhorst at ease and Minns ten times better than the previous 'reserve winger'

I do believe perhaps Printer and co have comprehensively been shown to be the luddites they undoubtedly are



Bring on Hood next as interchange hooker. Keep Burrow away from the front row please



.....and Baldwinson instead of Kirke/Bailey

"Never be a Super league players whilst I have a hole in my bum"

Who said that about Keinhorst?

Gotcha said something along those lines although not sure of the exact wording.

I know one swallow does not make a spring, and one performance does not make a super league player. But Mr Keinhorst was a different player to the one we saw last year. Hopefully a good run in the side and we will see how good he is. But an A plus start and a thousand times better than Vickery

Benefited from some great service from his 'centre' Hall and Burrow for his other score.

Can't remember our resident Academy 'expert' picking Keinhorst or Minns at all......in fact it was all about Watson/Sunley & Duckworth after his vast experience of watching them.......if only I had of said we shouldn't of played youngsters......oh wait that's it I said we shouldn't predict doom simply because they haven't played during the tricky 1st half of the campaign and they'll get a chance sometime.

If brains were made out of chocolate then Nantwich wouldn't have enough to fill a Smartie!

But bless him and others.....they're the reason academy lads are getting a game now.....nothing to do with McDermott who obviously reads these pages and caved into pressure from these 'experts'!

For goodness sake guys it was one game against a very ordinary Castleford side , yes i think Singleton and Sutcliffe could be the real deal as for Minns i doubt it very much and lets see keinhurst back that performance up with a few more the same before getting carried away . Yet another call to cull Bailey and Kirke i really do wonder about some posters on here.

He's got a chance now to really plant his flag in the 's role. Or, given his surname, put his towel on it*.



*this gag is bought to you courtesy of Lord Percy. They bombed his chippy, apparently.

I though Minns was dodgy defensively and made a few errors. The fact he scored after 4 minutes clouds people's judgements on him IMO. If Vickery played like he did there'd be a 10 page thread on him. He definitely wasn't 10 times better though.

Keinhorst has good footwork and finished his tries well but again, defensively he wasn't all that.

When judging a players performance I forget about the tries and judge them on how they played as if they hadn't scored. Minns gets a 5, Keinhorst a 7.

Sutcliffe fell of a few tackles but looked capable with ball in hand.

I like Singleton though. He runs at 100 mph and never checks. He's quick defensively too and has a good motor on him. He was the best of the young ones Friday.

But Vickery has been 'weak' in performance terms for the majority of the season so far

Now you're not telling me Mr O you are judging Minns on one performance are you?!

Everyone else is on here so why can't I? I thought that's what this thread was about

So that's Minns & Burrow...
