Very few seem to be putting George in there. My only small concern with Kear is that he doesn't have that instant attack about him when he catches the ball. He tends to come inside at the very sight of a winger near him. I think George would be better regarding going straight forward down the wing with his centre. Having said that, Kear works his socks off and gives 100%. It's just my idea of how top wingers catch the ball and are off down the touch line like a whippet - not running sideways. George and Henry would be two big lads and George is quicker than Kear if Henry can fend off a tackler and set him off. I agree with above that we have put together a decent squad though and the fact we are discussing different lineups shows there is now competition for places. I would also hope Franny doesn't work with a list of players running from top to bottom. I hope the young lads will be given a go if they prove they have earned it. All of the squad should be on a level starting point - or am i just wishfull thinking.

Very impressed with Addy tonight, looks strong going forward and great Hands, from this and watching him in SL the last couple of years I think it would be a big mistake him not being in our 17.

Addy is developing nicely, he would be in my 13 to start next season.

Personally I'd have Addy running out wide, as I think that's when he tends to really show up. The fact he has good hands too, would make him a really good provider for a centre IMO (in fact, I think he'd make a good centre!). With that in mind, I think I'd have him in the second row, with Bateman at 13 instead.

I've put Henry in, although I've never seen him play. More a "here's your chance, see how you do" situation. Mainly because I don't like the options of Purtell (who I just don't rate) or Luke George as centres, and agree that it's not Gaskell's best position. I'd like to see Donaldson get plenty of game time, but he's better when he starts rather than as a sub, and I'd want to have Addy, Ferguson & Bateman as the starting back row.

I've heard the bulls are interested in another centre playing in the World Cup, I believe he plays in Australia.God knows how they can get another overseas player in

Do you know who roger or just that we are interested in someone?

Plus those youngsters (I may have missed someone) we have a much better team than the last couple of years.

Done a good job of narrowing it down to 17 there

Agreed. First time in a while we seem to have some real squad depth. With the exception of Kearney & L'Estrange, there isn't really a position where we don't have a backup option that isn't a lot worse than the first choice. The only position we're lacking a little in for backup is prop, but even there, Winterstein or Walker could play there if we're pushed.

I have to say I've struggled. I've kept swapping and changing and to be honest this is the team I'm sticking with before I change it again. It's nice to have some depth again.

Edit: Bateman, not Batman
