This from Powell’s press conference today"I can see him being our half-back next year and I want him to really grab hold of that role."

Does this confirm no Dufty? What are peoples thoughts?

I know we won’t but I just want to see Dean and Williams played at half back for the rest of the season. They’re both actual half backs, we can have some consistency and can actually take a considered view on Riley Dean as a first team prospect. 7 half back partnerships is ludicrous

If he doesn’t play Dean on Sunday he should resign. Same goes for the woefully ineffective second row that he has not changed ONCE this season. Saying that Currie had a dig today, Holmes was his usual terrible self. Anyone think it will be Holmes that makes way for Nicholson?

I would actually put Nicholson at 13 next week. Can’t fault Matt Davis for effort and heart but he made no impact going forward. If Ashton is fit I really hope he plays and isn’t left out for Minikin (who I thought worked really hard today) as Ashton provides a far higher threat level. If Powell is happy to give a first team shirt to Connor Wrench for the rest of the year (which I support) then he should also do the same for Dean, Thewlis and Nicholson.

Highly unlikely. Will Pryce is off to the Newcastle Knights.
