and langley and hall both able to cover their as well. How many props do you want in the squad?
Yeah but if Lynch get injury we are boned. Koppy is hardly a 1st choice at this level, Scully Jnr cannot play in long stints, and the rest would get mullered by an experienced front row. Wonderboy Hall might have to play prop. SHort on quality

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

It's not that hard to train people to defend a high bomb, despite what Platt might be trying to make you think.
And Worrincy's defence can't be any worse than Sheffife's

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.

It won't take long for it to be exploited though. Any half decent halfback would be able to put his three quarters in opposite a winger that goes renegade that often.

you missed the point. peacock is your stand out prop in the same way lynch is ours. you have similar cover available as we do in a similar range of abilities, some good, some not so good and some youngsters coming through. no teams going to load up on absolutely top notch props in case the first choice ones are injured.

Lynch is not a second rower in a million years. He would be wasted there when we have Menzies, Hall and Langers. Hall is primarily a back rower, Lynch is primarily a prop, why change them ?

Thing is, it's such a basic mistake you'd think he'd have learned by now wouldn't you?
It's surely quite simple to ensure you're not rushing out and isolating yourself in the line, he's got players either side of him too that should be talking to him and keeping him in line if he's too dumb to remember.
Hopwefully he'll show some improvement in this area next year. If he can sort it out he'll be a useful impact forward, he does run some superb lines in attack.

I agree...
1. If he's incapable of being coached to remove this impulse then the Bulls ought to seriously consider getting rid
On the other hand...
2. If the coaches can't coach it out of him then [exercise for reader]
