Quote: Judder Man "I think it was Sean Long who recommended Peyroux who is bit better in defence but not as good in attack as Turner. We should have made Owen a loan signing with a future contract if up to the mark. For me if Thompson can put on a bit more kilos he would replace Richards, also Knowles deserves a place in the 17 but he would have to replace Wilkin which won't happen.
Haven't got a clue whats going on with Savelio, is he a prop, second row or loose forward, Vea, LMS and Greenwood are keeping him out of the team but only just.
We,ve got loads of player "wastage" who are not up to the job, we definitely need a major cull next season.'"
Thompson should be ahead of Richards on the basis of his performances this season (his game vs Widnes this year was the most accomplished of any of our young forwards have had imo) but has had concussive issues and the club are rightly proceeding cautiously.
I have bee worried for a while Savelio is becoming more and more like LMS in not really having a position despite being physically up to it. Personally, I would give Savelio the rest of the year in the right second row spot, and leave Vea out. It is his preferred position, and whilst he may struggle defensively initially, if he can improve it, he can get back on track as one of the best young forwards in the game.
Don't disagree with a major cull, but its all about whose coming in to replace them. I had defended recruitment this year in faith KC knew what he was doing ... He doesn't.
