Official West Hartlepool RFC

Why was the decision made for a third team player to jump straight in at first team level when there were available backs in the second team? No disrespect to Mallinson as he is too good to be playing third team anyway.

So people like you & WPA can moan and you can point a finger away from your sacred cow 1st team.

Nice to see you wished him all the best on his 1st team debut.

Ps - congratulations & well done Mallo in helping your club at such short notice

This was not intended to cause trouble at all, it was just a simple question. All the best to Mallo. Well done.

Sounds like stirring to me. Hate to be a coach on a Friday night trying to get a team together when players drop out. Well done to hogey and mallo for answering the call.

Interested,

Dont make comments on subjects you have absolutely no information or knowledge on.

Please tell me who the available second team backs were on Saturday? Because someone has been lying to me.

Friday was rediculous, Luke answered the call late on Friday night and I am so pleased he did, his attitude was excellent, some others should take note. When he got on the field he didnt look out of place at all, nor did Hogan and Greg.

There are a lot of long away trips this season and if people are not willing to put themselves out, then this will be a very long season.

I know there were genuine reasons for some on Saturday, but the phrase "home only" is already becoming very boring.

Rant over!!
