Yeah I wouldn't be against it. If the club don't think Balmforth is good enough or Hodgson ready for SL yet, then give Moy a shot there, because we seriously need a freshen up at 9. Must be the only team in the league who has 0 threat coming from 9. Teams just don't have to worry about anybody getting put of the ruck quick and breaking behind it.
After watching the game last night and seeing both sides (more so us) getting well into the 40's near 50. Do you think it looks very unprofessional? Watching NRL, they don't have names on the bank, so only get 1-17. Plus you could have another sponsor meaning more income. Is there a rule in which you have to have squad numbers and names on the shirt?
We ran cas ragged 8n that last 20 m8nutes and could have snatched the win. It doesn't excuse the garbage beforehand but does make it obvious how Houghton is stifling our attack. Defensive frailties, errors and discipline compound our crapness.
Cas completed at 102% according to the sl website so no surprise we lost. How do you beat that?

Grix's comments about not taking Houghton off sooner because it was his 450th appearance just sums the club up at the moment. He's more bothered about giving him the game time rather than trying win the 2 points. Absolute loser mentality. I really hope Grix is moved on as well at the end of the season.
How can Cummins come out and give reasons as to why Balmforth isn't playing, but then Lane still gets a starting gig every week with little criticism from the management? Surely Okunbor couldn't offer much less at SR than Lane does?
Okunbor was MOTM for Bradford last week in the centre and Pele played long stints for York and impressed I know its championship level but so are we at the moment. The team needs a shake up, if we at least try something different you never know, something like:
Walker Martin/Barron Sutcliffe Okunbor Briscoe Trueman Reynolds Ese Ese (ban?) Smith Aydin Chan Jebson Fash
I'd like to see Moy get a few games at FB tbh. I thought he was really impressive last night. I've said before that whilst Walker is ok I think he is very limited. Moy has a much higher ceiling so I want to see what he can do there.
I'd also like to see Hodgson get a chance at hooker (if theyve decided Balmforth isnt ready). We literally have nothing to lose, so lets have a look at as many of these kids as possible.

Moy isn't ready to play full time, should be back up to Walker next season, Walker has been amazing, but overall had a good season, he showed last season Rovers what an assest he is in a good side, but most of the season he has been linking up with Charles, Smith, Houghton and Cator and let's be honest that's probably one of the least creative spines in the history of SL.

Pathetic my Grix, should be sacked for this mentality, it might seem small to some people but winning mentality is everything, look at Wigan in Taylors testimonial, could have took it easy, but played to win for the full 80, that's what we need not this kind of nonsense, a team who have won 1 game all season in a winnable game and this is his attitude, absolutely shocking.
