You disagree about Ruan,Donaldson and oconnor?

Donaldson doesn't play 2nd row when he comes on primarily because his lateral defence is a liability, Ruan has a way to go to be counted as an option for many games, O'Connor was a 13, who knows what this year will hold for him.

Oh god, I've done it now

FWIW Goudemand is what id call a versatile forward, he can play Prop, SR and LF.

His versatility is probably why we’ve signed him

They've kind of got rid of it. They certainly have for Leeds, Wigan, Saints, Warrington and maybe one or two others but the likes of Cas, Salford etc will possibly be in the position we were in a few years ago. I can't understand why successful leagues like NRL, NFL etc can manage fully on licensing but we can't just because Football has P&R.

Goudemand being a prop, apparently

Also the lad from York who got injured.

I actually quite like the look of him but it bothers me that Cats aren't selecting him.

He seems to bring decent impact and aggression from the bench, but if we put him as 3rd sub than someone like McDonnell, O'Connor, Bentley, Gannon is going to miss out. Good problem to have I guess.

Just had a rare look on Facebook.

There are still some fans on there saying we’ve signed a load of Rubbish and they’re not impressed:-)

I assume its the Dwyer is God and sutty is world class brigade ?

If and it`s a big if O`Connor covers LF would it be an idea to play Smith at prop?
He`s not barnstorming and he is not an enforcer but he does have good hands.
Is he big enough for prop?

No, no and no. Smith is one of the best 13s in SL leave him there.
