Briggs and Jeffries combined well earlier in the season and Bradford put some good wins together but Potter saw fit to change the combination and bring in Herbert. You have to wonder what could have been.I also think that it won't matter who the halves are if the forwards don't lay the platform first. Getting Le Strange back on the paddock will also help.

Cant see us playing both Sammutt and a hooker from the bench next year

Jarrod Sammut is a great player, but i would like to see what Briggs and Gale could do.

Phillgee, Bets'y'bulls, whether Sammut is on or off the bench is the least important part of my opinion. what are your thoughts on the important bit, who will be the starting backs next year? Are you saying Sammut instead of Gale or Briggs, or Sammut not playing?

And why assume that Potter will do exactly the same next season as this, given the back line is virtually a new one with two big centres.

And you may see us playing both Sammut and a hooker off the bench next season:

Mick Potter is delighted with the capture:
"Jarrod is going to be of great benefit to us. He's a player who can play nine, six, seven or one and you could perhaps throw him into the centres if you wanted.

thanks PG: I hope that we will not see Sammut off the bench as exchange hooker next season as it will mean injury to Heath and Matt, and Addy or O'Brien have not impressed Potter. But theres a second theme here, aong the lines of "how will Potter play Sammut"? Hes very keen on players covering a number, has he signed Sammut to be a super sub?

Briggs and Gale seem to be the favourites, just. anybody else any thoughts, otherwise I will change "2012 squad shaping up to look like this" to Briggs and Gale, with Sammut reserve.
