Quote: bewareshadows "Next year I doubt he would be in the starting pack. But more long term I could see him in a starting pack. I'd imagine 2014 he will be doing similar to last year, rotating between Centre and Second Row.

I'd imagine the pack will change quite a lot next year though. I would be surprised and disappointed if we had the same people in the pack each week. We have enough quality and depth now to rotate and rest players.

For the opening game assuming all are fit and playing at the best that they were last year I would imagine a line up along the lines of.

Lomax Makinson Turner Jones Swift Lance Walsh
Amor Roby Laffranchi Sia Manu LMS

Masoe Warmsley Clough Wilkin


But I would expect some rotation for the next game though and I would expect Percival to be dripped into the team at points during the season, meaning Jones moves to the bench allowing Laffranchi a rest week and LMS to move up to the front row.

But for the Warrington game I would just go big big big. Hit em hard and early. No point trying to throw the ball about in the first match when it's cold and everyone is not sharp. Hit em with bulk and hit em with more bulk after that.


So next year yep I imagine barring injury Jones would be first at centre, but longer term a move up to the 2nd row. For me he is ahead of flanagan and wilkin in the 2nd row.'"


For the first game I agree except I'd swap Wilkin and sia. A bench of Masoe, walmsley, sia, clough/ flanaghan is one to be feared!

It will be interesting who continues there development after breaking through last year, greenwood, hand, and walker all played parts last year and need game time to continue, but have ALOT of people above them - anyone know whose being touted for loans?

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



I think we certainly have cover in all positions.

I'd say there is competition for places apart from 1, 3, 6, 7 and 9.

I agree that he'll probably cover centre for a year while Percival grows up (or we find someone else should he not develop) and then move to the back row.

I think he's underrated by some on here though - he was second only to Lomax in [icleans breaks[/i last year, which is no mean feat.

He could very well make the centre spot his own.
Looked very good at centre.

I think it is easy to forget that he is still a baby in player age terms because he is so physically strong. He is about 8 years off his peak. As long as he gets plenty of gametime I'm not concerned where he plays, we have years to findhis position.

I think he'll get game time at both but i think Wheeler will be first choice in centre ...............for a game or so.
