He's a modern forward, he'll do both and probably both very well. Reminds me a bit of Fairbank - looking forward to his addition

Mine would be:

1. Halley
2. Sheriffe
3. Sykes
4. Nero
5. Reardon
6. Kearney
7. Orford
8. Scutton
9. L'Estrange
10. Lynch
11. Hall
12. Menzies
13. Langley

Subs
14. Godwin
15. Worrincy
16. Sculthorpe
17. Donaldson

Would expect the Burgess twins to feature as well as Kopzcak, Whitehead and no doubt Platt will be in (although god knows why!!!)

Not much outside the 17. Macca better be praying to the football gods that we don't get any injuries. Light at prop.

and langley and hall both able to cover their as well. How many props do you want in the squad?

Seriously, the idea of Worrincy in the first choice 13 is scary to me.

The idea of him in the 17 isn't awesome, but a starter?!?!?

I've just had a mad idea about Worrincy.

You know how you can have 2nd rowers playing as centres?
And sometimes centres play as wingers?

well, it seems to me that Worrincy is big, fast and powerful and knows his way to the try line.

so hows about giving him a shot on the wing?

Maybe he could be a new Vainikolo?

I should also point out, I've had a liquid lunch with my work collegues as it's my birthday and i have the rest of the week off after today

I've thought about that aswell, although he can provide good impact off the bench in the second row, providing he sorts his defence out.

Well, the thing is, he's behind Hall and Menzies as 1st choice, Donaldson and Whitehead are snapping at his heels to break into the 1st team. But we're lacking cover out wide. Pair him up with Reardon down the right hand side during a warm up game. See if he cuts mustard

Well he is a Big Unit with bit of pace to burn. Maybe he will be less expose in the pack. There is talk Meli will play SR surely if this is the case so can Sheriffe

Also I believe the Worrloard might be a good winger with ball in hand but I am not confident about him fielding high balls or defending on the wing

take peacock out of leeds and they're in a similar position. same can be said for most teams in league. beyond first choice couple of props the quality of props available drops off in most teams. We've got a lot more cover than most in that position and potentially of better quality.

Look at how many tries we conceded last year because Worrincy shot out of the line and left a huge gap.

It was becoming a regular segment on Boots n All for Paul Cullen to highlight it.

Good point.

Saints without Graham, Wire without Morley or Huddersfield without Crabtree.


I expect Kopzcak to improve this year and also Crossley to step up if needed.
