Just going back to the Leeds game at LP earlier this season. I think Walsh's absence played a big part in Hohaia's performance against Leeds. I know Lomax played more of a half-back role that night but Hohaia was the only recognised 'half' in the side. I often think he's guilty of relying on players around him at times to do bits of his work for him, but that day he didn't have that really. He stepped up, organised well, kicked well and lead us around the field in the way I think we'd all like to see. Just because Walsh's on the team sheet doesn't mean he needs to go back into his shell.

Turner at 6. In my opinion, we rely almost too heavily on Walsh as it is. Pretty much everything goes through him. What would we gain by putting a centre in there who has no kicking game no organisational qualities? Granted we haven't seen him play there on a regular basis, but either way I suspect we'd be relying even more on Walsh than we already do. Imagine Turner and Percival defending down the left edge together as well? Not sure about that really.

Hohaia and Walsh are our first choice halves IMO. Injury permitting, keep them there together and let them develop as a partnership.

What's the rumour about turner?
Someone mentioned it in another thread??

It's pretty obvious with what we have lance needs to be given the spot for the rest of the season.

Turner to Salford was brought up a couple of days ago by Salford fans after koukash posted a message on twitter about a deal being signed and sealed (and none related to the Locke saga)? That rumour?

If Percival and Jones are in the centres, where does turner play?

Is Charnock even in Brown's plans? The fact he will play anyone else at 6 instead of him doesn't bode well.

Does anyone in the know think Charnock is good enough?

And in reply to turner. He doesn't play until someone needs be dropped for lack of form.

He's on the apprentice list.

He's destined to hailed as training the house down and the most promising HB during the off-season
then properly binned off next season.

Difficult question to answer. Even those who rip up the younger teams can struggle to make it at first team, and some you question how they ever got a shot and will go on to be superstars. The only way to find out is by giving them a shot. What difference would it of made on Thursday?

You don't get a rep like charnock has on here without having a modicum of skill, and whilst it's rare I ever get to see an u19s game, his name features heavily in reports, so he can't be bad

I don't think he's good enough at this time to cover such an important position.

It's worrying that he's not been given any game time at all in the first team. If he's going to make it, like all young players he needs to be tested at the highest level now

Didn't he play one game last year? Seem to recall he played but might be wrong.

He played vs Salford in the snow. Don't see what harm he could of done playing vs London on Thursday next to Walsh - it's the only way to be ready.
