Doesn't offer anything in attack but is defensively strong. Current centres offer a better alround game.

So how long can he continue to play on trial?

Taylor, Armistead, Marsh

agreed here is my strongest 17 as seen so far (IF ALL SQUAD IS FIT)

1 - Mort
2 - Stanton
3 - Maden
4 - Donlan
5 - Smith
6 - Ridyard
7 - Watson
8 - Hill
9 - Durbin * player so far
10 - Morrison
11- Taylor
12 - Higson
13 - Armistead

14 - Reay
15 - McConnell
16 - Meakin
17 - Wingfield

No idea. His time might be up now? I don't know, maybe Keith will know more, regards weather he'll be carrying on playing at East or what he's doing next etc.

With Stanton getting a knock I wonder if Alstead is ready for a run out on Sunday?

Although attached to your quote, it was more of a general question rather than directed at you.

I may be inclined to go with the following.

1 - Maden
2 - Alstead
3 - Donlon
4 - Higson
5 - Stanton
6 - Ridyard
7 - Watson
8 - Hobson
9 - Durbin
10 - Morrison
11- Taylor
12 - Hill
13 - Armistead

14 - Mort
15 - McConnell
16 - Meakin
17 - Marsh

Cant have alstead he aint played this season yet

I should learn to pay particular attention to the full post
