Then of course release Scruton, Hargreaves gets some stick but with a nasty prop (Nas?) or Evarn Tuimavave (N'Castle Nights) and a hard, consistent prop (Jaiman Lowe - Storm / O'Meley) he and Kopczak could really follow and make inroads... With the infux of cash i think it would be relatively easy to bring in these sorts of players... And we need a loose forward, i for one would put Joseph (who, from Swinton!! looks fitter than all of our players) 13, he has a great pass and put Langers in the back row or prop (been carrying well so far) what do you guys think, personally i think its better to change things now before we get too established together

Don't forget his positioning issues with kicks. I think the fullback is responsible for setting the foundation for the next attack, but he's always turned round, even on a poor kick.

don't want it to be a Kearney bashing thread, but just take note in future games of where he's stood on the 5th

Oh please, most Full backs wouldnt get stepped, most would nail the attacker in a 1 on 1 situation. Kearney nearly always gets stepped. If he was a Brett Hodgson or a Sam Tomkins with the ball in hand, or even a Brent Webb or Wade Mckinnon then it wouldnt be so bad because his attack would more than make up for his lack of ability in defence. As it stands now he's a crap defender and a mediocre attacking player too. Just not good enough.

Come to think of it, I would rather have Platt at FB yes, at least he makes some ground returning the ball and runs hard and fast back at the line.

And occasionally tackles........

You would think Potter of all people would be able to improve his game as he was a pretty good f/b in his day
