T.S. seems to be assembling a squad with 2 players for every position. with the exception of fullback and the wings.( hopefully players still to be announced )
So subject to not having a major injury crisis, no one should be asked to play out of position. Which should mean the team keeping it's shape even when changes are forced upon us.

IMO I don't think he is good enough........at least yet!

You're not the coach and presumably TS has a better understanding of Matty's ability and potential than you. If he doesn't we are really in trouble.

Sorry for holding an opinion. It is only from what I have seen, if you have seen any different please explain, the kid is not a FB, he doesn't have the power or pace to be a full back and rarely beats a man. I would have at least four others from that squad play that postition before him. But again that is my opinion.

Nobody has mentioned Will Jubbs in this thread yet.

Sorry, I knew I had missed one out. I am sure Jubby has a bright future and will get plenty of game time this year as well. Looks a top prospect and one for the future for sure, his brother will be in another year or two as well.

I thought he did quite well last season. It was his first experience in the position and it was in Super League. He took the ball forward well, on the whole was safe under the high ball and has a step to beat people. You should contact TS as soon as possible pointing out his mistake. He is going to play him at full back when the the lad is not a fullback. At the same time let him know the four players who would be better in the position. Don't bother with Ben C as he already knows about him.

To be fair I didn't think he was that good at full back but Sheens knows a lot more than me so if it's Marsh at FB then I'm happy with that

I agree Constable,as I think London will do very well, having said that it should be a great contest next year, with HKR,London, Fev, Toulouse, Batley, Sheff, even Dews and Swinton being hard to beat.

You might as well add Bradford, Halifax, Oldham and Rochdale into your list to get a full house.

I hope I can guarantee one thing and that is Hull KR never again underestimate a Championship side next season after the Oldham CC debacle at home and the almost banana skin headless chicken performance against Fev away in the Middle 8s last season.
