Think it would be better to interchange one with the other not both on at the same time.

I'd rather start strong than have to battle uphill as we have for the last 5 years. We could have the 2014 equivalent of Bradford's 'Awesome Foursome'. Get that platform laid early for our halves and fast backs while legs are strong.

If both are on at the same time both will tire at the same rate meaning both will need to be interchanged at the same time which could leave you weak. Best to have one on on off for a longer spell.

Hope we get this done. We really need size in the pack to get us on the front foot and he will compliment Paea and Feka very well. A one year deal with an option for a second makes sense.

He's only 32 and plenty of props play to mid 30's, he has plenty of power and experience plus offloads the ball well.

Welcome back Gaz
Still one of SL's most accomplished props.

poor old Pitts, heralded in the HDM by Radford as a star in the making back rower, then all of a sudden it looks like he's been binned off.

Re: gareth carvell : Thu Feb 06, 2014 2:53 pm  

Good business if you pull it off, still a quality player. Won't be a straight swap for Pitts in salary terms though, somebody else leaving shortly?

He's been good in his time, I'm pretty sure Weyman would stand up well to him.

You'll be happy with Carvell and I'm sure we're happy with Weyman

I watched Weyman lots last year and he was awful (like a lot of the Saints players TBF), will have to improve on that, thought he looked out of condition in the derby.

But get him back to his form from a couple of years ago, then he will be a good player for you.

Has the lack of interest/relevant postings on the RLFANS KR board led to a merger of our board with theirs ? Anyone else getting sick of the constant thread derailments that are so commonplace on here now ?

Same two or three over and over again too.
