bulldog4ever Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Can't see minikin playing for cas as Ben crooks and jake Webster would be their prefered centres.. can he still be named in our 19. Callum casey in for me over squires if not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggystyle Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I recall a conversation with James Green re squad selection for your parent club. Needed to be 48 hours between games, but could be anything now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Website Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 At Batley we have players available to play instead of Minikin, Players who have signed for Batley, train and are commited to Batley. DR should be for filling gaps. Mr. Kear may well be hoping Minikin joins him at Wakefield, Players for Batley should be selected first nothing to do with talent. Loyalty is sadly lacking, Death is not the end. Just think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush. paraphrase of Terry Pratchett from Good Omens written in 1990.

ernieone Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Sorry but we have to play the best side available and that includes Minikin, he may be still available if Webster is fit to take his place. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Website Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Different people have different standards, Mine are different to yours, Minikin would be my prefered choice if he was a Batley player.

doggystyle Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'd say Minikin has been very loyal. He didn't just turn up thinking he was above us and parade around the field. He got dug in. He will be missed IF he can not be selected Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_T Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Different people have different standards, Mine are different to yours, Minikin would be my prefered choice if he was a Batley player. Can't see any issue with a long term loan player, this isn't DR at its worst where we are playing player just to get fit for a parent club. He's a good young player who gives 100% and celebrates tries with the lads like he's one of our own. Loans players have done us well over the years. Stuart Cocker anyone?

Website Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Oh dear.I have not said he was not commited or anything else, except that a person who has signed for Batley should get any available space in the team. Below, from the Batley website and it says dual reg. To me it shows very poor Loyalty by the club management to commited players. You are entitled to your misguide opinion but please try to ue the facts and not suggest he is a loan Player. That would be acceptable to me. Not DR. 30. Greg Minikin (Dual Reg from Castleford).

Mike Garforth Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 What he was getting at is Greg is a long term dual reg player. He is not at batley just to get match fit for a week or two and return to his parent club. For me I'd like to see batley make the top four and although I see your point about playing a player who is signed for Batley getting picked first, I think that Greg puts in more effort and has more determination that the alternatives at the moment.

I don't think effort and determination of any of our players is in question. It's just that Minikin and Ulugia are the best centres available to us (imo).

bulldog4ever Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Minikin not in the cas 17 so looks we will have him back tomorrow which I am well pleased about.

doggystyle Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hope you are right Graham coz boy do we need those two points. So having named Minikin in our squad we only have 18 to select from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think this is true, l believe we can add to the squad. If we can't, then it is another peril of DR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
