I think we can cope with Manfredi and Marshall as starters with back up from Bibby. If Gildart stays then we’re fine doing it that way IMO. Should Gildart leave that could then change as we’d be a bit light. One injury to a winger or centre and we’d be down to juniors only. Ideally I think you want a back up winger and a back up centre to your starters and I’d have no issue with Bibby and Hankinson being those players.


Burgess leaving would suggest that Gildart is staying to me

My concern with Budgie going is, come 3 games in and Manfredi suffers another nightmare, we have one specialist winger. It's a big gamble to put so much faith in a guy that has suffered badly for 3 seasons.

It is a risk but if we are going to save money that is the first place we should be doing it.

3 top line wingers with first team expectations doesn’t work.

We have others that can play wing and have done at a high level.

French, Bibby and even Hardaker have all played on the wing and I’d also think Hanley and Halsall could do a job there.

The ideal scenario would be 2 front line specialist wingers and a top class junior to provide competition to those starting spots.

Given we not too long ago had 4 front line wingers competing for 2 wing spots I don’t think the club will have prioritised that position in the junior set up.

As I’ve said on another thread IF we are cutting costs, versatility next year will be a key to our success.

I get that, but we are putting our eggs in a very unstable basket.

It’s been an open secret for a few months.

Sadly I think that sums him up.

He could have been/could be so much more but lacks something to see him achieve his potential.

Heard from a Salford mate that we are in for Joey Lussick any truth in that rumour no better than Powell.
