Agreed. If we aren't recruiting further then I think we should show some faith in the kids. Murph is dependable, rock solid defensively but won't offer a massive amount going forward. Don't know enough about Gaskell to warrant giving him a starting shirt and I don't see him as a natural centre.

Alternatively out of left field Oli Roberts or Bruno, Oli has played there for Ireland and that's where Bruno started his career with is. Also, if Hinchy were to play Loose then I don't see how Bruno gets game time.

hinchcliffe went ok at hooker for us in 2016 but i think he would be far better for us at loose forward where he played most of his nrl career.. we now have the option to do this with leeming and obrien in, cant wait

hinchy and bruno are tackling machines but hinchy is more attacking and better ball handler/passer to create opportunities

If it were my choice I'd want them both on the field. Bruno was one of our better players last season. He was certainly the most consistent-more so than Jerry and Leroy even.

Bruno was fine till "they" started messing about / bulking him up etc

He was working well at centre and his size could have been used to create a P Newlove type in that position IMO Then "they" thought about making him into a winger and remember him playing a cracking display in that position away at Saints one wet and windy evening Then THEY decided they decided " lets put him in 2nd row or perhaps loose forward "
IMO the lads done well to maintain the standard he has Could easily been groping for positional play like a headless chicken

Perhaps better shut up before hes tried at hooker (though personally I`m seriously hoping Stone will provide a little more stabilty and less Woolworths pic-a mix for our future progression !

Good point cracker- although he was only 17 when he made his debut and it appeared hadn't had his peak teenage testosterone hit- his legs were like brierleys!!!

might still both be on the field if we persist with hinchy at hooker again!
