Keenan Tomlinson

[Wakefield Ram]

Not on the players due to leave list so assume he's staying and certainly been one of our better players since his return.

 

[Crown Flatter]

Is he our top tryscorer? Seems to have scored in almost every match.

He was on loan from Featherstone, wasn't he?

Fingers crossed he comes across.  He was outstanding on Sunday.

He was swapped for Beckett along with Silk, but could be wrong 

[SUPERSTUD]

Just needs a personal fitness trainer to get him some sort of decent physical shape.

But silk is going so must be only till the end of the season, we could pick worse players.

It was a deal until the end of the season.

Midlands or Goole being rumoured.

[Crown Flatter]

Goole is a bit closer to his Hull home.

Thing is Tomlinson has never found a 'place'. At The Mount he played wing because we had nobody else at the time, then in Linners 1st season was given a centre's shirt for power, but was found lacking in pace in both positions (nowt new there). As 2nd rower he was never going to get past players who were already there. When he came to Dews I thought he'd find his niche but didn't and I was amazed when Fev took him on. If he stays with you March needs to muscle him up and use him at 11/12.

Did well on the wing in the few games he had

[phildog]

Power from 10 yards out, fine, won't go any distance on the hoof.

You lot will keep Manu and Lucas in the back row for the next twenty years if you can.

[phildog]

Quite likely!!

[bromleybulldog]

Sounds like a good plan to me !

Why not…

To be fair they have both been good servants. Just think that sometimes one or two slots can be locked down too much. Even when a team has not come up with the seasonal goods like yours this season. Time stands still for no man. Other players are prone to walking if they can’t foresee any positional pathway such as Oli Burton. I think Batley are in need of a freshen up but I accept that it is not always easy to complete such a task.

Who like? Everyone but 3 have agreed terms senior apparently wants out despite being a first choice centre

Well Keenan added another string to his positional bow last night by playing no9 for Jamaica! Only needs to play FB or in the halves and he's basically covered the lot.
