Its another mis-leading tag from the Mail.

The printed team is who Jon Mattos THINKS should be in the team.Its not yet been picked.

The team is to be picked by Andrew Webster.

Guess you've never been to watch a an amateur derby match. Eccles is a decent player but goes missing when the going gets tough. Certainly not a stand-out back rower in any of the derby matches I've seen him play in. This type of game is going to be physical and would not suit him IMO.

I would put the following in the back row before Eccles;

Mark Spence
Wildbore
Sam Radford
Ash Johannessen
Craig Bassett
Luke Brindley
Ian Madley
Rich Dunham

One of the most under-rated players in the amateur game IMO. Always seemed to get overshadowed by Danny Hill but has a great deal to offer. Would like to see him given a shot although not seen much of him lately so who know's how he's playing???

I'm lead to believe Ian has been out for the past year or so and has a knee reconstruction.

Very hard working player who if compared to a pro probably does a similar job to Lee Radford/Jason Netherton. Nothing too eye catching but graft like hell. People who know the game see the hard work they put in. Many supporters don't. But the teams suffer when they are missing for sure.

Exactly , it is all just supposition.

Is that the same Phil Hasty that played for us ?

Be interesting to see how he fairs if it is, especially with all the ones who reckoned we should have kept him.

Having seen Phil Hasty play for East Hull a few times on my rounds watching amateur rugby I have to say on his day he looks a class apart at that level.

But there are a number of other players who can play to his level too.

Good enough for SL ?? Not a chance. Although he'd probably do a decent job at NL2 or even NL1 at a push.

Have to agree with the comments about Danville from Skirlaugh.

Looks to be on top form this season and has returned from his time with York a better player.

Lee Roberts has to be considered for Prop consistantly solid every week for East Hull.

Brett Turner should be in and around the 7 shirt he was quality and thought he was a bit unlucky to get released by Hull IMO, seems to be doing well at West Hull this season aswell

Legend Phil Hasty, hope he gets great reception.

the only problem with a game like this is the amount of time training together the amatuer lads would get together.

I would imagine they will only be facing the academy/u20 side with perhaps a few fringe first teamers, Hodgson, Cook etc.

Wont be a hammering thats for sure.

Fitness wise the amateur lads will be half way through their season and Rovers will be a few weeks into ther pre season preparation.

I remember him getting an ovation after breaking his arm playing for us against at Fev. I also remember him getting a right slating playing against us at Rochdale. He's a good player, but no where near top NL1 or SL level.

Didn't he get sent off against us in our last NL campaign.

He was always very enthusiastic when he played for us , and the fans' respected that quality in him.

looks like this wont go ahead now

No need for me to link when i know one of my local neighbourhood window lickers will be straight on to the case

Nah you were just trying to make out you were in the know, now you have bored everyone on your board about your press conferences , and rumours etc, you are a media junkie, an attention seeker...a loser

What kind of purpose do these posts serve ? Not remotely amusing or thought provoking....there are far too many posts like these appearing on this site I'm afraid....considered opinion and humour are great but making thread after thread after thread a "bitch-a-thon" just aint needed...

Don't read it then.

dont reply to him them.

how very Cheeky of you Charlie
