Briscoe is not good enough in defence and Hull will pepper him. Golding is sound in defence and is desperate to play and will therefore try really hard.
Myler doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near. Mclleland is a risk though but I would give him a shot, he played decent against Toronto. Lunt showed direction and composure and reasons why he is a starting hooker. Dwyer is a quick, impact hooker that adds bags of energy and a boost, but also can play like a headless chicken and we need composure. We missed a bench prop and now Singleton is back and as much as don’t rate him sometimes because he is very hit and miss he adds aggression and and a bit of bite. If Peteru is fit he should jump in. Hull are a big team and Ava needs help as he has been class, the last thing we need is an injury to him because he is doing all the work.'"
Agree with everything here except I don't think Golding will play first team again unless a real run of injury happens.
Briscoe is one of those... I can see why people criticize him, but he does an awful lot of good work with hard carries and can be very good. He made a mistake or two last week granted, but I wouldn't drop him personally, I think we have bigger fish to fry.

Is this likely to happen? I've not seen much of him, but from the board it seems like he's a talented player.
Just hope it's not another Liam Hood situation!

Liam Hood, who actually did quite decent holding his own after us? Corey is completely different to Hood, both in skills and physically.
The problem with Dwyer is not realising when it is a problem. It always seemed stupid against Hull KR to start him with Lunt on the bench. The lead KR got was down to him, they targetted him and ran him ragged. He was not an issue in attack, but that isn't the only part of the game. Once he was off, the threat of Hull KR diminished. Against Hull, we left him out there when he was near dead getting up, 20 minutes before the end of the game, and again Hull targetted him defensively, and nine missed tackles is absolute pathetic stats, and purely as a result of him staying out there. He should have been off, and that is down to the coach not acting on that.

What's youre view of Johnsons skillset? Is he likely to make the step up in your opinion?
Any other of the academy you particularly think will make the grade?

I have said on here since he was 15 Johnson would make the grade and be a star. He has always had the x factor. That said, I do think he hasn't progressed as quickly as he should have this year, but I am convinced that is down to the standard of rugby he has mainly played at (under 19's, and he is above that level). He needs to be playing at a higher level. I was at the Yorkshire v Lancashire academy game a few weeks back, the decider. He and Walters for Lancashire were head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. He actually got moved in that game to stand off, and looked the real deal. What I do know is that playing second fiddle to Dwyer will not enhance his progression. It really needs to be a big star hooker, with Corey as his deputy.
Of the others, I already said previously about Broadbent, and for me the top one of the lot is Walters. Anybody who doesn't develop Walters into a top class player shouldn't be involved in player development. He has everything.

| Johnson makes tackles but has an issue of inching backwards before contact and riding the tackle but losing collision. It's an issue that needs resolving. He leads the line, gets braced for contact and then edges backwards a few inch.
Quality and clever around the ruck tho. Really good.
If his conract improves hes got massive potential.
As Gotcha says Walters looks the real deal but again at times his defence needs to improve but it will I'm sure. He needs to fill out and hes a real stud in the making. Money well spent on him.
