He needs reminding they're still top and probably nailed on for top spot. Silly troll.

He is making the right noises. He will get some game time, the club need to decide whether we need to sign a new centre after the likely departures of atkins and Goodwin. Looking forward to seeing him in a wire shirt.

We've King, Mamo and Burrell...with cover from Livett, Hughes and Currie...we're not in desperate need.

Livett n currie at centre is last chance saloon so is Mamo if the two leave we will have one specialist centre and burrell dependant in how he goes.

I've no worries LB will be a complete success. He only needs to get up with defensive positioning and hitting angles in attack.

He'll be playing in no time.

I'd still say we needed three front line centres. Toby King has had injury issues in the past and Mamo is primarily there to cover wing and full back.

I'd be happy with King, Burrell plus one other for 2020 - just not sure Gelling should be the other. I'd imagine we could sign a quality replacement on Goodwins salary?

After that bring in a quality 4th prop and one other on the salary left from Tasi, Westwood & Atkins (i'm leaning towards a new deal for Sita now) and we have a strong squad for 2020

Ratchford

Lineham
New Centre/Burrell
King
Charnley

Austin
Widdop

Hill
Clark
Cooper
Hughes
Currie
J Clark / Davis

Davis / J Clark
BMM
New Prop
Philbin


Mamo & Johnson to cover wing & Full Back
Patton to cover half back
Walker to cover hooker
Sita & Doro + New signing to cover prop
BMM plus the option of moving Clark / Davis to back row with Livett & Johnson (remember him?) providing cover in the back row

That's what Daryl Powell told me?

Re: Luther Burrell : Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:20 pm  

Theres no extra lbs on him to lose, but he'll still be over 16st if he loses 7-10lbs. I think as a centre with his speed and power from what i've seen he's gonna cause the opposition a lot of problems. I thought his signing was bizzarre when first announced, but seeing him in action and that he's not on the cap next year either is such a smart move and could be an amazing signing for us. I'm excited to see him in action finally

I'm pretty confident he'll be an RL international in his first full season.
