Hopefully means Robes will go to 13 with Cunningham and Moore rotating at 9 next year.

got to be. I cant see a place for all 3 at hooker, unless KC has agreed to play a supporting role to the other 2.

Only problem has been the baffling tactic of MP to chuck anyone at 13. For me it is a position that Roby could be effective at because he has good rugby nous and runs harder then his build would suggest.

Great News!

It could be the development of Roby from a niche player to the top class player he has the potential to be. He has a solid kicking game which is always nice (since Tommy God we've relied on Long, now we'll have Roby Moore, Arnold, Wheeler, Pryce (when he's on the field) and Wilkin).

Roby played a lot of his academy rugby at loose forward.

I think this is good news - we talk now of players over 30 as being ancient, but when I first began watching in the mid-eighties, people used to say that a prop doesn't come good till he's 32 ! The game has speeded up, and for an amateur, playing beyond 30 can be pretty tough on the body, but for a full time athlete, who has intensive physical preparation, then as long as he avoids injury, there's no reason why he can't carry on at a very high level for longer than your average Joe could. After all, speed was never a key component of Cunningham's game, and I'd be very surprised if he was any less powerful now than he was as a 20 year-old.

It does mean, however, that we are very likely to see Moore or Roby playing a whole new position. Personally, I think Roby hasn't got a position that isn't hooker. His whole game is based around darting from the ruck, his passing isn't good enough for halfback and I'm not aware of a kicking game from him. He's too small for the rest of the pack positions. At a push you could say centre, but that's sorted for next year with Soliola and Gidley. So I guess he stays as interchange hooker. That means if Moore is being brought back, then he's not destined for the hooking spot. You've got to be looking at scrum-half for him, and he has played there a bit before. Maybe the coaches have decided that Eastmond isn't quite ready to take on that role yet.

Keiron, Keiron, Keiron.

Love it, after a miserable few weeks we have something to feel good about.

Cunningham is the heartbeat of our team and it's a massive boost for next season to still have him on board.

The bittersweet thing for him is that, if things go to plan, he'll miss out by a whisker on leading us out at the new stadium.

Well done Mr C, it's not easy playing this RL game in your 30's...

Would be happy to see roby turn into a full time number 13...remember some black guy from yorkshire who played on the wing, become probably the worlds best loose forward...

I couldn't have put it better myself

That was only because Wigan had a coach (Lowe) who recognised that Hanley would be a far better 13 than a 6.

Do you think that Potter falls into this category?

Awesome.

I just hope he's doing it for love and not the money. I hope we sign a prop to make this signing worthwhile.
