My devoted followers .

Think Alker would have a longer career if he was to be used this way rather than having him tackle himself to a standstill and risking injury that even his miraculous healing powers can't help with.

Fitz
McGilvery
Henry
Talau

Difficult to say until the friendlies are out of the way, then ill decide

Absolutely no idea ! the 17 that play the best , Henry on the wing as imo he is a better winger than centre as when he played on the wing he certainly shoured up that side of the field.

But people some say henry actually played the whole season on the wrong side of the field from his natural position, so that would be talau centre henry wing

I thing its better having that balance as when we attack we can go both ways making other teams think a bit more

He will be in the 17 as Smc thinks he can cover positions in both the forwards and backs, i blow hot and cold with littler i feel we need a better quality of strike centre to move on he isnt a 2nd row, he is all effort but i want that bit of class with age he has lost that 1/2 yard that makes all the difference but the stats dont lie im sure he was 3rd top metre maker last season, he might have lost a yard but he's gained 2 in his head which is a real strainge thing to say about littler but he uses his head more with age so these days he's more of a plodder than a flyier

Well on the Super League website the top meter four are listed as Cashmere, LULU, Wilshire and Swain. Would agree with you that he shouldn't be covering the forwards though, as we have far better backrow forwards to pick from. When they have been fit we've generally had better centres too.

i stand corrected , he's consistant n rarely injured that could be a reason he is in the 17 all the time

Didn't realise you were picking the team this year.
