Would love to see this team at Odsal next season;
1) Kearney
2) Ainscough
3) Sykes
4) Walker
5) Ah Van
6) Pryce
7) Wallace
Hargreaves
9) Diskin
10) Lynch
11) Elima
12) Whitehead
13) Langley
14) L'Estrange
15) Hall
16) Donaldson
17) Scruton

tend to agree about sykes. problem at moment is he's best kicker we have, ah van and donaldson can both kick but its not there speciality (and donaldson at least, I wouldnt expect to be on pitch for full 80). so unless we sign a half who's a kicker I suspect sykes will get a spot. Think royston will surprise people who dont watch any of NL coverage. He's comfortably our 2nd best full back option after kearney and an excellent support player. Only reason I could see sykes getting nod at FB ahead of him if kearney wasnt available would be for sykes's kicking.

Isnt it nice to be in a position where pretty much any squad people name, theres decent players missing out in virtually every position -halves excepted so far- certainly going to make squad selections interesting for potter.

Do you really think Royston is good enough to be a first choice player having never played a Super League game?

I certainly do. Will surprise a few fans; bags of heart, bottle, good bloke and will make an impact. More than Sheriffe, Halley, Reardon et al would have.

As I've said, an excellent curve ball signing for me.

Hopefully all this discussion will be unnecessary and we'll have a new 6 and 7 and play Kearney at FB.

yes, absolutely certain of it. Watch fax games whenever they're on sky as a few mates are supporters. Royston always stands out. Number of times someone makes a break and he pops up in support is unbelievable. Very safe pair of hands at back and excellent support player. you dont get in championship dreamteam by accident. or average nearly a try a game over 100 games!.

Think those who are dismissing him cos he's being signed from championship are in for a very pleasant surprise. potentially our best signing so far in my book.
