Would NOT have Wellens as our captain next year. His win record in the role is terrible and I do not think he is the right person.
Pick one from Graham, Pryce or Wilkin IMO. Think Pryce has really stood up this season and always seems to barking orders on the pitch, organising the team; so I'd probably go with him.

I'm not too worried about him at the moment, having long term injuries at a young age didn't hinder Paul Anderson too much. It is a shame though, he looked promising when he's played. |

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| Quote: Gerry Mander "Another backrow option would be Wellens to SR/LF
with either Lomax or the recruitment of a pacey FB.
Wellens was keen to move into the the forwards when Potter
arrived but there was no replacment at FB.'"
I think it'd be a mistake to put Wellens in the backrow. It may seem like a good idea on the face of it because he busts a few tackles now and again and defensively he's solid. But when push comes to shove and you need good hard yards to get get of your own 20 I don't think Wello's the man to provide it.
Having said that I'd love to see a backrow of Flannery, Wellens and Wilkin go up against Joel Tomkins, Hoffman and O'Loughlin next year.  |

| Quote: Offside Monkey "Will Wilkin's role change? We have lamented the way he's turned into a grafter to play a certain role for the coach, but now we have Clough to do that job, will he be able to turn his attentions to his attacking game.
The tries from the wakefield game show his ability to run smart angles. If you go back a couple of seasons when he was in top form, this ability was very apparent then.
Also, will roby be used at all in the back row, or will he always be directly rotated with Moore? When he's played loose for us this year, his lines of run have been excellent.'"
I don't think wilkin can change back to that type, his handling is ok but he ain't a attacking backrow anymore, he's a grafter. |

I agree with that. A couple of years he could probably have made the step up but I don't think he carries enough weight with or without the ball and would not be an upgrade on what we already have in those positions. Don't get me wrong he has the attitude to make a reasonable go of it, however I see more potential in our youngsters in our back row slots than I do Wello. |

Agreed. There's no point in turning a very good fullback (with matching wage) into a very average back row, especially when we've got Flanders, Wilkin, Clough, Soliola, McGennis, Ashurst & Dixon knocking about, not to mention Hargreaves and Puletua who can fill in there. |
