No. I would rather him stay in the centres. It could be an option later in his career. A lot move into the back row later on.

How about continuing giving Annakin an extended run, or even Hassan could develop into a dangerous back rower. He has the size. People forget we have Jordy too as well as Batch.

Would rather we get extra props and an extra half back first if Williams is going home. Think those positions more important.

Going back to back rowers anybody heard how Molloy is these days. Hes off contract end of the year, but had heard his niggling injury was quite bad

What people forget is that Crowther is only 20 or 21?, you wouldn't really expect him to be a regular for another year or so. Batchelor is a bit of a freak, very young to be a pack regular but he may well be next year (injury permitting)

No Vasty, you wouldnt, and as a forward, they dont usuay mature until about 25.

That said, there has been some good young forwards come through, and being regulars at a young age.

Recent ones that spring to mind are Bateman and Whitehead

Thats my point really, Batchelor is a bit of a freak in a good way, Crowther looks more conventional, his time will come.

Feel sorry for Molloy plagued by injuries most of his career but has always put in 100%. Don't think he is with us/will be with us next year.
We need another a young halfback (whether from academy or elsewhere)prop or two and a backrower for next year IMO.

Thought I'd read somewhere that Molloy had been released...

If the new signing happens to be Justin Horo, I hope he puts himself about like he did in the last 10 minutes of tonight's game, as upto then, Louis Anderson was the better 2nd rower.
On a different point, where's Ben Harrison these days?

Re: New signing, let the speculation begin : Fri Sep 15, 2017 11:44 pm  

The commentary tonight mentioned Luke Walsh coming to a UK club. Liam Finn is getting older. Just wondering ....

Re: New signing, let the speculation begin : Fri Sep 15, 2017 11:49 pm  

I like Walsh but hes failed to impress in a team with international players all around him since he left stains. Maybe its how they ask him to play but if he came he would have a greater workload put upon him than he has at Le Cats.

Walsh to Salford

Beau Ryan on Twitter says he is heading to Yorkshire...

I wonder how his neck is feeling?
