Should Eastwood fail to materialise.....
..... an experienced centre wouldn't go amiss. Yesterday showed what the current 2-5 could look like if Senior gets crocked. It weren't a pretty sight. |

They weren't that bad tvoc and when you consider we had gibson and watkins against gleeson and king i thought they did well. |

Two of the young and inexperienced centres in SL in Gibson and Watkins against two of the most experienced in SL in Gleeson and King, they did extremely well together against the opponents that they had to play against IMO

If Warrington had been able to hold the ball and/or played a bit more expansively I'm afraid they'd have been overrun. But then we will have Smith in there when Webb returns. How he adjusts to defending in the centre's could be interesting though.

Anything stopping Eastwood coming over here in the meantime just to train or meet the guys??'" Where do you think we are going to get an experienced centre from seeing as the season is only a few weeks old? |

Leeds won a game they should have lost against a team without a win.
Who have Leeds signed to replace Toopi? Why did Leeds strengthen the second row where they already had depth?
Senior has missed two from five at this point. I'd hate that to become the norm.
If the Eastwood deal falls through (and if they decide to enter the market for a replacement) I hope they bolster the team where it needs it rather than where it doesn't.

Out of interest, how long ago is it since he got turned down? Is it over a month now?
We were told when it was refused that he had appealed and that he would hear the outcome in a month.
Just wondering.

But we are the Champions, with expectations (not hopes) to retain the title a 3rd time. It does make you realise how good a job Ablett did last year when we miss him in the backs. I would imagine that we tried to replace Toopi but I guess there are so few quality centres around these days that the good ones can demand big money (too big for us I guess).

Agreed. If we go trophyless this season and we don't replace eastwood (should it fall through) or toopi - serious questions need to be asked about the recruitment for this season.
Bold statement but I don't think as the squad is at present quite good enough to win anything year. |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

4 games in.
We're 4 games in.
We've a shed load of injuries yet we're undefeated and still top of the league.
Yet, after these 4 games you post that? |

I actually agree with you annoyance at that. It does appear daft, and there is no doubt we can not put full teams out yet.
However Gareth, what I would say and what I dont think you are balancing against, is that the tactics appear to have changed this year (from an attacking point of view). Those tactics look at the moment to be poor, despite the 4 wins. Hopefully your thinking will be right, and when the first choice 17 get on the park we will play a different game.
But I was always under the impression that the first team squad train together, and therefore whoever is on the field the game plan would be the same. If thats the case that is more of a worry.
4 wins from 4 nobody can argue against. But equally 3 out of the 4 been outplayed can not be ignored.

Top of the league with an injury hit team is a pretty good start for mine.
