When Paul Rowley was coach he played the best possible team he could select every week and ultimately that backfired, as it happens the victim of that circumstance was Ben Reynolds who having barely figured in the team was expected to perform when Riddy or was it Brierley who was injured come the play-offs, that cannot be allowed to happen this season we have a squad of 28 now it should be rotated as often as possible, obviously select the best avaiable for those games that are going to be 'tests' but there are going to be lots of opportunities to play the other guy's.



FWIW, I wouldn't have played Sammut v York, but there should be a place for him this Friday, if not I would definatley say something is amiss in the back-room.

Playing Friday I believe.



Riddy may also be in contention.

They are 3 games in to a season Harry..3 from 3, No need for rotation at present unless forced.

Samut sick for the first game, and recovering from being sick the second after a shortened training week. Fit to play if n ended but better rested to fully recover. This week I discussed about possible rotation but it was supposedly a “test” to use Harry’s terminology, so no issue not rotating for me, as Woods and Reynolds have played great in the first couple of game. The choice to stick with them by JD is now shown to be the correct one.

So far I don’t see how Samut could complain or why JD should be questioned. He has talked about rotation being important several times in interviews so I trust he has it in mind.

3 games in, three wins using the same high performing halfbacks. No conspiracy theory there for me there.

Another no show tonight- anybody know what’s happening?

LCTV said he had a late slight injury so wasn’t risked.

Our 3 loans didn't feature - correct call for them and their clubs

Sammut would have played at Dewsbury, but for picking up a virus. I could be wrong, but I do not think he has been enjoying it as much since.

Are you saying his signing is contentious H?

Depends how you define that and where.

No player of Sammuts ability should be happy sat on the sidelines so i can’t imagine he will be having a great time so far

BUT

Reynolds and Woods have been outstanding so far and deserve to be first choices in the big games. His signing was/is a great one for Leigh, and so is the fact that right now we have two players that are performing well enough to keep him on the side. Reynolds and Woods have far surpassed what I expected or even hoped for. Well done to both of them

It’s now up to Sammut to stake his claim on the training pitch and take his chances when they come along.

I am so happy that i've been proved wrong about Reynolds. That guy has been absolutely immense so far,and if he keeps going at this rate,he'll be a top half back. Well done Ben.
