Quote: Wadski "Ukuma was the only Giants player who turned up at The MS3 Recruitment Stadium last year. If your players concentrate on him it's the other twelve who will rip you apart...
(Our team will change dramatically at half time)'"
Thanks for the correction Wadski!
I think the major changes at Rovers have gone relatively un-noticed by many. Almost a whole new pack, Weyman, Poore, Costigan, Larroyer and Langley with Josh Hodgson the only one still in there. A new half back pairing with Burns (not playing this week but will in the league) and Keating who are defensively good. It is our back line that we are hoping are stronger with better defensive back rowers and half backs. Cockayne will add a bit more go forward while Dave Hodgson will do what he does best. I personally think Welham has improved on his defence and Liam Salter proved he can stand tall in this league even though he's not got too much bulk yet.
It will be a whole new look Rovers vs a very minimally changed Giants side.
And yes in a trial game I wouldn't doubt both coaches will have a drastic change around of personnel.
