Bish and MCB are playing too well not to be in the side.

Now here is a thought, TJ started life as a fullback I believe. Lets say he could move into that role in the manner of hardaker. Then you would probably have the back three with the greatest pace n SL.

As someone who doesn't believe players are pre-cast for a certain roll and can't quite easily pick up another I agree. Of the three for me Tom is the one who has that little bit more in the locker and IMHO could adapt to almost any position from 1-6. That said you can't assume those two will stay fit to TJ will get his chance.

Also believe that Jowitt is a natural for S/O but it's hard to prove without an A Team to experiment with and assuming of course he;s interested.

I have not being so exited for the future since 78/81 we have great pace out wide as we did then we have a decent pack
the missing links are a specialist 9 and a quality scrum half and maybe another 2nd row forward with pace

Re: PACE!! : Tue Jul 18, 2017 7:19 am  

Imagine in a couple years time...

Johnstone
BJB
Lyne
Tupou
MCB

Jowitt
Miller

And they all have more attributes than just speed...

We have one of the best specialist number 9s in the game he's called Kyle Wood - have you not spotted him? Or did you mean a second hooker??

Agree

Another specialist hooker to rotate with woody and a quality scrum half with a strong kicking game and I can't see who could stop us!

Agree on the back row but hopefully hasson will fill that roll for us

It will be interesting to see where CC plays Hasson as we have Hadley, Kirmond and Ashurst competing for the two second row spots....although Hasson may give something different at second row outwide at 6 foot 4 and 16 1/2 stone.

There again we have props possibly carrying injuries so he may be covering Anthony England's position...giving him chance for his Achilles problem to settle down.

That's a good call on England
I think we've got Hadley for one more match now?
It would be worth while resting England if that we're the case, let Hadley stay in the back row as he's being doing a great job and hasson prop

I wouldn't risk Kirmond either
When I last spoke to miller he said he was hoping to be back for sts and if not sts defo for the 8s

I can't wait to see us at full strength in the 8s !

If Shudds can beat Hull on Friday night it will take a bit of pressure off Sundays game.

Wood is a great utility man vital to any squad he has covered hooker as Ellis did stand off a number of years ago specialist 9 sorry no.

If shudds beat Hull on Friday night there won't be any pressure, we will be guaranteed fourth spot and 4 home games.
