Contracts in RL are not worth the paper written upon.I hope to seen him start on a high would be my preference MO. |

Not sure if he'll be different for you, but when Cas had both their halves injured last year, Powell played a hooker and a prop there before Hampshire got a look in. He's great on the wing though. |

How did you go on when you had a hooker & a prop in the halves? I genuinely can't remember.
BTW - Rocky went well for us on Sunday. |

We did alright. Won a CC match against Salford and then another match the week later.
Glad he's doing alright, but still don't think halves are for him. |

Cheers BD. 
I don't think he'll play in the halves unless we get injuries,however,he will now take the fullback spot due to Mc Nally's injury. |

Centre is the position MO we lack depth in.I'll go with whats on the cards,not a problem.But if we end up switching players to cover that position constantly,i'll return to haunt you. |

Centre is a position all lack depth in, especially England. We have 3 and a couple who could fill in, so are better than most. What you need to get your head around is that Tonga is one of those 3, he didn't choose to be injured and he is contracted so let's support him and let Derek deal with our needs once we know what they are, after about5/6 games. I am sure if Tonga hasn't showed and we are weak in that position he will do what's needed, I am confident Tonga will have a great season

I think thats 2 Mo and 3 could actually fill in,Tonga being one of the two..Browns position is FB,but can't get there because of Tonga..Hopefully things will change and I do support Tonga,but he needs to take to the field the same way he takes to a bicycle.

I am not 100% on my prefered 17 yet, but then Jukes is I/C of team selection.
I would however like to see Hampshire at FB, Riddy at 6, Drinky 7, Weston 8, Hood & Pellisier at 9, GS, HH & Corey.
Hock, Acton, Green, Hopkins.
AJ, Mitch, Clare & Crooks in the 3/4's.
Despite the miracle pass, I don't thank W.Tonga's heart is in it.
Hope there will be cap space for another centre.

No Higham then 
Think his leadership skills will be vital, and he won't have to do as many minutes this season with the other 2. Appreciate age is against him, but he still has a lot to offer for me |

Alan ,I would think Micky Higham would be in everyone's 17,for his enthusiasm,leadership,and go forward,he looks to have trained the house down in close season,I realise it would be hard to leave out Pellissier and Hood but 3 into 2 doesn't go, and Jukesy has a hard enough job picking his 17 to start anyway,I'm already a Ben Crooks, James Green,and Ben Reynolds fan after Sunday, bring on the Dews.Charlie is ready.

Damn right he has a lot to give Col
I only left Micky Higham out as I 'think' he will be used more sparingly & it will be his last playing season.
I see M.H moving into more of a coaching/mentoring role at the club, his influence & knowledge will be very positive for Hood & pellisier & the whole team will benefit just by his presence.
