the 'employed wide running second rower' is already at the club his name is Adam Higson yet Yorky boy won't pick the best centre in Rudd and insists on wastng AJ in the centre Im losing faith FAST in Kelly. AS for Rourke JT and Haggerty being too small do me a favour, all are around the 6ft mark this is rugby league and not union or is there a big wide running second rower tree alongside the fast winger-big prop-multi millionare wanting to waste money on Rugby League trees in your wood

Thing is the question should be ' How are we going to play ' not ' who are we going to play '

A comment about Johnny Lomax at Saints from their coach Mick Potter in answer to why they had played a H/Back at full back to replace Wellens

" Johnny is a very talented RL player , that makes him very versatile , something that we see as important for all our players "

Today Saints were awesome without a genuine recognise H/Back on the pitch , but they do encourage all their player use all their talent

We need to get Cooky match fit and bring in one more decent sized prop then we can have Chris Hill and Mike Morrisson in the second row, alogside Armistead. Our present second rowers are too small. Durbin, Marshy and Watson (speed, strength and organisation) Jock on the bench. Donlan fullback for defence and Morty fullback for attack and kicking. That leaves Stanton, Smith and Higson. What a team!

behave


if he cant impress taking it to the line first up, how on earth is he going to impress in the thinking department

I played with Johnny for years and he played at full back for a large part of that time,mostly because he was our best defender by a mile, and would feel comfortable there. Better as a half back no doubt but it wasn't that big a risk. Agree with your point though people shouldn't try to round their game more.

Chris Hill at second row? One of the poorest coaching decisions that could be made.

When the lad is on top form you don't go switching his positions around and IIRC a certain Darren Shaw played Chris in the second row and he had very little impact. Leave him the front row.

Whatever happened to Adam Rudd? I remember this time last year he scored two against Widnes and seemed to be on fire and he just went off the scene. Would love to see him given another shot in the centres with AJ moving forward into the back row with Jimmy, Rourke and Armistead.

I get the feeling Armistead would rather be back at Barrow if I'm honest

Not sure why you have that thought

He was out there training before the game on Friday but he was limping and looked in pain at times so he is obviously still recovering from the injury. I have a feeling he will play on Friday.

Everyone else seems to have been given a chance of some form so I think the least Rudd deserves is one.

I think he will be in the squad for one of the next two games
