Bottom line is that Sinny and Agar rate him, hence the extension. Some of us see his value, some don't. Not much point discussing further......

that ends that then

Everyone seems to rate him in some way shape or form. The question is how much do sinny and agar rate him (hopefully not enough to pick him regularly if we something that resembles a fit pack of forwards).

does sinny pick the team ? is agar a puppet , surely sinny decided the contract agar decides week to week

According to Agar he picks the team I personally have no reason to disbelieve this.

I'd guess they pretty much discuss everything but agar makes the calls for match day squad.However it works they appear to compliment each other.

They work very closely together and consult each other. This is how successful clubs operate....

e.g 'doing great as i say richard ' 'yes boss ' or complement ?

Nearly there! Early rounds always unpredictable, and we have had a very disrupted pre-season.

Main thing I’m looking for is the pack performance. I expect Gale & Eastmond to play. I want to see us tough down the middle and making ground. Not sure if Holroyd will be fit though, and he’d be in my first choice team.

Good luck to Wakey this year too.

Ha I had to read through my post again to get that. Bit of both I reckon, it helps team spirit.

Agree on the pack.That's the key area I hope we improve on,without a good pack (with a bit of depth) we'll stand still at best. I reckon we'll struggle against alot of the better teams with any injuries to our big props.

Another one who only recognises half of the game. Defence is as much a valued skill as carrying the ball. Someone who is energetic and mobile in defence and dominates collisions is as welcome and someone who churns through carries.

Yeah. We need bigger and more skillful players around Donaldson to work as a unit. I think we've got that.....

That's assuming when we meet the better teams they will have their best props available also.We have 5 props I'm counting Prior as he will do alot of minutes in the front row. Thompson is the 6th but the juries out on whether he can be a success. I've not looked at at the strength depth of Wigan, Saints, Wire, Dragons and Hull props.

Yeah very true.
Wigan lack experience, and big metres for me.
Wire - too reliant on Hill and not the player he was.
Saint's - very strong, but Walmsley is key, and if he gets injured...
Catalans - strong but we all know Catalans big game failings, and don't travel well......
Hull - pretty strong but ditching Watts was worst decision they ever made and Taylor was injured most of last year.....
