On the contrary alot, you are showing a complete lack of knowledge of the team you claim to support. Had you watched the reserves you would know Pitman played a full year of 20s in 2013 and came to the club as a wing man, Hankinson likewise has been filling in at centre but played the majority of his RL for Salford last year featuring against us as a back row forward.

Indeed we've had to press winger/back rower Higson and also Kurt Haggerty into service in the centres so far this year due to lack of out and out centre options in the squad.

Littler been a legend but wasn't making the grade or side and reading these pages last 12/18 months most wanted him dropped or played in the forwards due to lack of pace.

Catch up lad we sold woody to Bradford and Des to wire you know pal.

Signed after Harris took over as cover after proving his fitness at Crusaders, think he played against us?
Played for Bradford for a number of years before that and made the monthly dream team as centre in 2013, gives us McNally, Platt, Brierley and Pownall to cover FB. Pownall Higson Kay platt and pitman the wings. Platt pitman Armstrong Higson and Hankinson the centres. So that's 9 outside backs for 5 starting spots

Which is exactly what we will need to compete. Next season will be a lot more intense than this.

I say it again, does anybody realise how young this squad is? It's all well and good having high quality youngsters, but we need experience in and around the squad as well. If we can get a couple of good years out of him like we did with littler, then I don't think anybody could complain. We can't just sign a team full of prospects and hope they all hit the highest level together. It would be unfair to rely on pitman and hankinson as starting centres alongside Armstrong, who in my opinion isn't far away from being the finished article. We have a few lads who can help out at centre, but how many specialist centres do we have? Currently, only Armstrong with pitman and hankinson being developed in that role, and haggy filling in if we are stuck. So I make that four players, playing for two spots, introducing competition and cover. How many 'bad' signings has Rowley made these past few years considering player turnover?

I would have been a bit disappointed if Fax had of signed him and that's coming from a supporter of a team that really doesn't harbor much of a SL ambition.

Just to clarify one point if anyone actually speaks to Chris Hankinson he will tell you that prefers to play in the second row, but is only too glad of playing anywhere where the coach picks him to play.
Platt has played over 230 SL games for various clubs, and is one short of 250 first team games at all levels.
