Everyone seems to say royce likes players playing their proper positions but foster is a centre by trade, meli is a winger, makinson is a centre, lomax a fullback, Moore is a hooker, megennis is a prop.

All are played out postion. IMO you pick players in what postion is best for the team, if that means playing out of postion for the benefit of the team then so be it.

The extra prop at 13 allows Royce his back on the bench. I wasn't hot on the idea at first but now see what a great move Royce has done by copying the aussies by doing this.

Saying that, you need the right player to play the prop/loose role and TP is ideal for it. He's big, mobile, good go forward and good hands. You couldn't play the likes of fielden, lynch style of props there but TP magennis are ideal. I think that's why we've gone for laffranchi for next year. I think he'll take the prop/loose role.

By having laffranchi at loose acting as a 3rd prop then allows us to have LMS and perry in the front row with TP maybe the impact off the bench. So we are getting are 4 props but also a back on the bench to cover the backline.

Paul gallan in oz is the man that's took this prop/loose forward to the next level and shows with the correct players it's a very good move.

What goes around comes around,sooner rather than later hopefully.

Let's hoPe briers don't get hurt for their sake as we've all seen how poor they are without him.

We've had up to 11 players missing thru this season and still kept in touching distance of them, they struggle to win any game without Lee briers.

One man team.

one person, and he didn't say it was funny, but dont worry you carry on stirring.

Not the OP, the joke that's carried on after it. For instance, the poster who said 'nice post'. True spirit of Rugby League isn't it.

It's alright, sorted with Yed.

I didn't know any of the previous for the poster who came out with the comment.

Gutted for Roby, he's a fantastic player and his stats this season standout from everyone else, a big loss, hope re recovers fully.

In his 1st season with us Morley fractured an eye socket and he didn't play for about 6 weeks.

I've read the post now and the reaction gave it more credit than it deserved.

In the end the fact it gets a mention on another board just shows the interest in a player of his calibre.

Yet again Wigan won't face a fully fit Saints squad! We need to just concentrate on the Challenge cup and a top 4 finish.

I don't think a top two is out of sight. We've got this far with terrible injuries and we have got a much healthy squad at the moment. Wigan and wolves will go thru there injury spell yet.

The next month will really shape the league as the top sides play each other. We play Wigan and wolves. Wigan play hudds and I think Wigan have got wolves.

Wigan won't have a fully fit squad either. There aren't many around at this time of year.

Exactly. We'll be about 6th after this next few games are done.
