Quote: Septimius Severus "Last season Featherstone got battered by Toulouse in the first half of the Championship Grand Final. Fev made a good fist of a recovery by putting pressure on the fullback, Fev then signed him 5 months later knowing his biggest weakness..
Kheirallah will be targeted and besides Leigh half got some tall lads out wide.
I like Kheirallah, but I would rather have Aekins.'"
I remember Kheirallah dropping one in the final but he's usually sound enough under the high ball, I'd be more concerned about the wide kicks. As an aside, I also remember Aekins being like a rabbit in the headlights under the high ball at Post Office Road this year, to the extent that the Premier Sports summarisers were saying he didn't want to know. I certainly wouldn't swap full backs.
