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.

I just can't get my head around why you must have one then, could be the new garlic bread this no contracts rule

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

Odd choice as captain then Ste?

Well unless he has had a leg chopped off or summation similar, I will be amazed if he is not in the 17 most of the time. Granted there may be times when he gets rested, but sometimes age is not a barrier and he seemed to manage more than alright in the middle 8s

Deffo starts for me - last season or not

I think this is Ben Reynolds year, he played brilliantly against Wigan, and should be given his chance against his old club in the first game.
