Has Alstead had a run out yet?

If not in my opinion he should not start until he has had one (or start from the bench).

I am a big fan of Alsteads and he would always be one of the first names in my squad however, no-one should come straight back in to the team without first proving fitness at match level. If there are none available and has shown up well in training then a bench spot.

Donlan offers so much more at FB.
Alstead is our best winger at the club.

Afraid I agree with you about Donlan. I'm a big fan of Mort, but would play him on the wing.

Donlan at fullback definately, best fullback in this division. Mort has to be in the team for his goalkicking and is ideally suited to a wing spot.

Alstead is by far our best all round winger but having been out for so long he should be proving his match fitness before being in the starting line-up. Him on the bench should spur the other backs on to keep the jersey their own. Competition for places is healthy and works wonders for team building morale.

Donlan is our best full back and where he is most effective.

Having Mort in the team/17 gives us options and he is our most reliable and effective goal-kicker which can prove to be invaluable.

Higson to play centre throughout the season and cover for injuries/substitutions in the 2nd row.

Is Stanton still injured ? Rourke didn,t look to good when he left the field on Sunday and Higson any news on him ? He went off injured too.

but mort plays far better at fullback than wing

Depends which wing


Anyone else notice we only attack down one side.On Sunday the Side Reahy was on they hardly touched the ball and when the ball did come it was Ridyard s intercepted pass

Id go Mort Full back Donlan Centre, Smith on one wing, theres Stanton if fit or Alstead or Madan for the other wing.

So how does a player prove his match fitness unles he plays in a math?

and dont say in the reserves as they dont play until April.

i would play this team:



1. ian mort
2. stuart donlan
3. adam higson
4. dave alstead
5. steve maden
6. martyn ridyard
7. jamie durbin
8. andy hobson
9. dave mcconnell
10. chris hill
11. james taylor
12. dave armitstead
13. aaron smith

14. ian watson
15. danny meekin
16. tony stewart
17. mike morrison

Armisteads injured and Smith is missing due to personal reasons, forget the last bit, dont want that debate to start again

Gradually from the bench

When was the last time some people watched our team? Aaron Smith? Have they not seen Haggy and Rourkey? Wingfield etc? Come on catch up

I thought this thread was a Sparticus moment:

No I'm Neil Kelly

I'm glad Im not Neil Kelly who the heck wants to come from Yorkshire?????

No one picking Sam Reay or is he injured ?

1 Donlan
2 Mort
3 Reay
4 Higson
5 Madden
6 Riddy
7 Watson
8 Hobson
9 Jock
10 Morrison
11 Taylor
12 Haggarty
13 Rourke (if fit) or Stewart

14 Hill
15 Meekin
16 Durbin
17 Marsh

Agree with that team.

I'd go with that team apart from switch marsh for wingfield.

Marsh is fit again and could be on the bench Sunday
