That's my only gripe too Seth

| I don't think GB team manager Peacock comes out of this fiasco particularly well either.

I wouldnt have thought so. Your team manager is your logistics man, not a decision maker.

| And on top of this fiasco, the only reason he was chosen over someone else was because he’s already had his vaccinations from when the knights went to PNG.

| Handley should of been playing from the start. Ryan Hall has hardly played at all this season for the Roosters, and coming off an injury as well doesn't help. Handley I believe played every game last season, and came joint second highest try scorer. Then has experience against the PNG squad while playing for the Knights last year. Surely this should of been a no brainier instead of putting a half back on the wing. Feel sorry for the poor lad.

We have some very good wingers who just have not been available.
Our centre situation has been an on going problem for as long as i can remember. I can only name half a dozen at a stretch who have been up to scratch at international level since the late 80's.
We should be able to sort out the full back position, hopefully Zak can have a good year in 2020 he would be my choice.
Until we find some quality centres though we are always going to struggle to match the top sides out wide.

I agree Biff that we've certainly not been blessed with centres at international level that could cause problems for the elite nations for quite some time
We could already have 2 future England/GB centres on our books in Newman and Broadbent if they continue their development as we all hope

| I would argue that in gildart and Connor we have two decent centres, not worldys I agree but a good foundation. Percival was missing and he is good. Newman has a chance to break through.
I think if everyone is fit we have the makings of a solid side. Bennett flucked it up with appalling team selection and tactics.
Hate to say it but someone like Wane with his no nonesense approach is the forwards but willingness to move it wide is what we need. Bennett is a man lost.

I like Andrew Stewart from the academy too and new signing Corey Hall might end up there.
Newman and Broadbent could be a cracking combination if they realise their potential.

| Its amazing how frail most SL backs are. Hardaker looked and played like a junior yet to develop physically when he played for the Panthers.I know you can't just magic up athletes but surely SL can do better?

Agreed, i think Newman is already on the right track and hopefully he will continue his progression this season he should get plenty of games.

| It took Zak a very long time to put size on.
There could be a genetic component to the athleticism of young lads in the NRL compared to here, particularly regarding the south sea island heritage players.
I also don't know how rigorous drug testing is (in either hemisphere) with young lads. You do wonder seeing the size of some of them whether they've had some artificial help along the way. It's super-competitive to make the cut and you could see why some might cheat to get there.
Thing is if we can't out-muscle NZ, Tonga, Aus then we need to outplay them and we can't do that either.

| Think we are clutching at straws talking about Broadbent/ Newman at international level. Let’s see if they make it as regular Super League players first!
