It saves money for the clubs also, for example if you have 4 players that will interchange playing 6, 7 & 9 during the year and one player is a size "M", one in size "L", one a size "XL" and one a size "XXL" then you have to get 4x3 shirts (12 plus the relevant spares), etc. where as if they have their own suqad number then you only need the 4 shirts (plus spares).

It's his first full-time season so I expect it takes a bit of time to gain that amount bulk - if indeed he is going to.

I'm with you on this one. I thought Peterson had decent pace and went back the utube vid to check. What is noticeable is the increase in pace between the early SL clips and the Aussie clips, his speed out of the line to flatten kickers and to make tackles is impressive. Its easy to see how he got a second year with the Cutters. and the vid probably has more clips of him tackling than attacking. He weighs 5 kg more than AOB who did 722 tackles last season, more than Sidlow, with a missed tackle ratio of 6%.

Agree with this. We've had years of a loose forward acting as 3rd prop in Langley. Much rather we went with a ball handling style of loose to give us more attacking options. Expect walker to start season there but then one of Peterson or Addy to displace him as season progresses.

One for the ladies on here, been re-tweeted by a bunch of the players throughout today. Walshaw is a big bloke, he towers over Sidlow and Davies here!

Well, that's my other half on the phone for a season ticket!
