Would you like to reconsider that statement, given you're talking about a 16 year old? :lol: :lol:

That's probably the way the coach saw it too. Against a big, very experienced and high quality Hull pack, a big guy like Sibbit should have been ideal, at least in the physical presence he provided on the field, though giving away the pens and getting ten minutes in the bin, very much detracted from his performance.

Theoretically our young players needed a senior figure to lead the pack, but without detracting from Andy Lynch, who I thought had a good game, it just didn't work out that way.

Give Bateman a chance against Salford. But maybe Sibbit will play better against his old club :/

I would refer the honourable gentlemen to the 'should we have let Menzies go thread'!

Hmmm, let's see who would have been really useful to guide our young pack on Friday, can't think?? Oh yes only the best back row forward to have played the game :WALL:

Was well worth another year!

Worrincy was good, but that's a bit OTT.

It will be interesting to see what Potter does with Sibbit. Sibbit played well in preseason and got his chance in the first couple of games. He was very ill-disciplined and then missed a few games. His second chance vs Hull coincided with a bit of an injury crisis but again had poor discipline. The injury probs continue and he is an experienced forward but we can't afford the penalties which put us under pressure.






Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.
