All this tinkering to replace Dobson is madness for me. Bell a straight swap for Dobson. Keeps Murrell at 13 and keeps Netherton as far way from that number 13 position as is humanly possibly.
no craig hall for you,which goes against what most people have said about his 2 performances,1 of your better players by all accounts

He played the last two games because Webster was suspended. Webster is back on Sunday and should take his spot in the team. I'd have Hall for his kicking but not sure I'd take him over Welham, Fox, Colbon or Webster.

If you drop Hall it sends out totally the wrong message. In the past 2 weeks Hall has been head and shoulders above Fox, He was head and shoulders above Colbon and Welham against Catalans as well. So if you drop him you tell the entire squad that Fox, Welham, Colbon and Webster are undropable. I would rather we didn't go down that route myself.

Totally agree leave fox out until he gets his head sorted I love foxy and he gets the crowd going but what do we do put a player in who has been playing well and is a goal kicker what we are missing or play someone who everytime he has the ball drops it. It's not a hard decision imo. Stick with hall.

Fox is low on confidence. dropping him won't do that confidence any good. Get him out on the field and get him over the whitewash for a four pointer or two.

Colbon looked good for me against Cas. Continually took the ball up and made some good yards. I'll stick with my original squad. Hall has being good but he's not being outstanding just solid.
Briscoe, Fox, Webster, Welham, Colbon for me. But Hall will get a spot because he can kick goals.

So how many weeks do we give him Kev 6?, 7?, 8? Or do we do right BY THE FULL SQUAD and say 'go away and earn you place like everyone else has too!'

Difficult one this. I don't personally know Fox, so I can't say how dropping him would affect his confidence, however, he had the faith in his ability, once cut by Leeds to go to York do well and then get an SL contract with Wakefield. As a pro, I would expect that players take being dropped in the spirit of working hard in training to put the problematic aspects of their game right and then play hard with a "I'll show you Morgan" attitude. i'd be seriously worried if a player skulked off and had a little sulk.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

How does he earn his place though, According to a lot of people Foxy is training the house down. He can't do any more on that side of things. He needs to get out and play like we know he can grab himself a try and I think it will be business as usual. Maybe he's simply trying to hard.
