Crumbled?

We go on to win this today and win our game in hand and we are level on points with you.

Above us after beating us next week Stu.

We're just lucky Wakefield are poor

Well he's capable of playing as a prop with his size and can tackle pretty hard so the only thing stopping him being what you suggest is his hands is it not?

He is far too small to play prop.

Hooker it is then

Re: Field back : Sun Jun 04, 2023 2:53 pm  

FTR....I would play him at 11.

I think there's the potential for Powell at 13 with Cust/O'Neill at 9.

Or 4 points behind us after we beat them again *

Powell is 5’10, far too small. Don’t be quoting Paul Gallen either because he was as wide as he was tall. Needs to be over 6ft to play loose and over 95kg at least.

Re: Field back : Sun Jun 04, 2023 4:09 pm  

So by a "big stand off" you mean over 6ft and over 95KG.

Jesus......how many of them are there in the modern game? Sounds like GB in the early 00s of Faz at 6 and Scully at 13 and vice versa.

Re: Field back : Sun Jun 04, 2023 4:11 pm  

I kind of know where you're coming from. A 13 needs to be a 3rd prop (Gallen) or a ball player (SOL) depending on how you play. We tend to go with the 3rd prop option but don't have the 1st and 2nd props to do the first bit

Re: Field back : Sun Jun 04, 2023 4:31 pm  

We've lost our best two props, one for the season and one for a couple of months, there's no fix for this, if Salford made Dupree available I'd hope we'd go all in for him but if they want to keep him that's that.
Lack of grunt up front and the no.9 issue that's been done to death are the root cause of our problems.

Absolutely correct,on both points.
