without peacock in our side,we have the following props available

Luke Burgess
Ryan Bailey
Ian Kirke
Greg eastwood
Kylie Leuluai
Luke Ambler
Jay Pitts
Kyle Amor

yeah. but that's when he's in the centre of the field. out on the wing the gap is a lot less

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.

Without Lynch :

Scruton
Sculthorpe
Kopzcak
Crossley
Hall
Langley
T Burgess
G Burgess

Ours doesn't look too shabby either tbf

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

Subs:

14. Sykes
15. Godwin
16. Sculthorpe
17. Worrincey

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]

We need better assistants?

Well... that's certainly one scenario

Article in T&A today by Orford suggests he is expecring to play with Kearney as his stand off as his partner

Which is probably where he is going to play and i hope he does. He's a great off the ball runner and with Orford as his partner it could be very exciting.

I was under the impresion Hall was a prop, but my bad, last thing i want to do is upset the experts on this board!

Halley has to be given the No1 shirt and retain the fullback position, it is by far his best. Sykes best position is Stand Off from what he showed last year, But i think Kearney will thrive alongside Orford using his pace to make breaks down field. I can see Kearney been a Danny McGuire type stand off, using his pace, support play and Orford's guidance, it could end up been a quality pairing.
