Brearley will be an excellent signing. Hopefully Grady will stay, we've really missed him this season. Wouldn't be sorry to see Larroyer go, he's been very disappointing for me.

2 second rowers.....

interesting to see what happens with Grady

Grads when fit, he's a top player and that's my only concern if his knees are okay.

Re: new player(s) : Mon Aug 19, 2019 1:04 pm  

yeah precisely that, excellent when he's fit but a bit like Tangata over the passed couple of seasons - been absent A LOT, no fault of his own, but absent nonetheless.

Agree with the point RE Larroyer - i expected a lot more from him and to be honest he offers absolutely nothing.

Larroyer is steady but probably on a decent wage that he doesn't merit.Hard to say who you'd keep at moment,really struggling to make a case for anyone.Clear the decks for me.Big ask for younger players in this team at moment i accept but none of them look up to it either.

Re: new player(s) : Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:35 pm  

i'd honestly say 'steady' is an over statement. But agreed, that's definitely a wage we can do without.

my 'keep' list:

Robinson
Tyrer
Fairbank
Barber
Moore
Kavanagh
Morris
Woodburn-Hall
Chapman-Smith
Hirst

Scott Grix - Jurys out
Will Sharp - my personal favourite but he's knocking on so i'd understand him leaving.
grady - depends on fitness
Saltonstall - plenty of grunt but not my style of player and i just dont know where he fits in. Too slow for the wing, not good enough at centre, doesnt have the hands for fullback

Think Robinson,Tyrer,Moore,Fairbank,RCS are already signed.Keegan Hirst on trial came up with nothing yesterday-Barber let that little sh!te Fairclough rile him yesterday and second row seems sorted already.

Grix in, Hirst out and I think you've pretty much got it there.

You would rather keep a player who makes error after error in favour of a player who gives us great go forward something we have been lacking all year? On performances alone Im not sure how Grix can justify his place.

On Grady there were plenty of rumours of him going to Widnes. An obvious keep if it were possible.

I think we look a lot more solid with Scott in the team. Keegan Hirst, absolutely not. Never rated him. My opinion.

I read somewhere that Hirst is going to Bulls for 2020 anyway.
