Unless someone is leaving,second row is certainly not our problem area,I really hope that washbrook isn't our interchange hooker too!!

So we have Mini and Pritchard with loads of cover and the club thinks we need another second row? And not a hooker or a replacement for Lineham? Bad joke.

If we sign Washbrook and another backrower then that's stupid, even without Ellis, who I still think will play prop, the backrow us easily our strongest area.

Our pack is pretty good this year, So we sign 6 players, 4 of which are forwards. I really hop that the HDM have got this wrong.

He'll play washbrook as an interchange hooker. Complete joke. He was useless there in his early 20s

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Thu Jul 30, 2015 6:43 am  

Ellis to retire through injury ?

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Thu Jul 30, 2015 6:45 am  

Looks to me like we will have a set of utility backs and no specialists

you forgot that we also play too deep so by the time the player receives the ball he has to make six or seven metres before he gets back in line from where the ball was played which makes it easy to defend.

No problem with playing men deep, when done right, makes for attractive rugby league. Problem we have, is we do it at a snails pace, men stood still when they catch they catch the ball. no fluency to our set plays at all. Duck knows what we've been doing on the training field for the past 2 seasons
