I think the two that have covered full back are Reynolds and Sammut. The only positions I've ever seen Ridyard play is Stand off and centre. The only position he can play is in the halves.

| Back to the thread, which is the first choice half back partnership? Reynolds/Woods, Sammut/Woods or Sammut/Reynolds. Personally I would have Sammut/Ridyard, but it ain’t going to happen. Which also begs the question who is first choice goal kicker?

| Maybe a squad overloaded with halves is the way to go, as Broncos have followed suit ! Only difference being only 2 of the 5 have any real experience, the other 3 Academy boys. In fact with 5 halves, 3 hookers and 5 wing/fb in the 25, I struggle to understand the clubs thinking, especially after the colossal inevitable exits, with only 11 left from last year. Still we are favourites which shows what the bookies know.

On the face of it, your squad looks weaker. But then, I thought that, after the departures at the end of 2017, and look what you achieved in 2018! I for one, won't be writing you off!

Depth in squad is the answer. Recruiting in numbers creates instability. If the core remain then that can be added to as the season progresses. If you can fill the gaps to the business end your going well.
