just what we needed still think we a thin if gaskill is out these is lack of cover at hb if brough or brieley get injured we have problems

He had a good 4n too

Didn't Gaskell have a foot problem in December and now a hamstring problem?

Well who knows- could be true or could be rumour. The club have said nothing.

Given the latest signing of O'Brien which allows Hinchliffe to move to back row I would move Symonds to left centre with Murphy on the wing. Gaskell as a backup player. Looking pretty good now I think.

I like Symonds as the right second row, we are much more solid defensively on that side with him there and he will help Brierley out no end

That would work well I think-
how about hinchy playing second row- solid tackler to shore up that side as per hudds RL5s comment - and hinchy inside of Leroy inside of Jerry -could be a very lucrative little trio that- hinchy is able to pass well to his right hand side and give Leroy and Jerry space they have a field day.

no way!

symonds is class at second row linking up with cudjoe and mcgillvary on that right side is one of the best in super league.

taai/ferguson with gaskell and murphy other side.

Symonds was given 11 so likely to play left hand side.

whichever side you wont see hinchlcliffe ahead of him in the that role. hinchy loose forward or hooker certainly nothing else

I may be wrong but didn't Symonds play left side last year? Certainly did at Salford.
Anyway, just my opinion....I'm sure Mr Stone has it sorted

I'd expect Hinchy will be our 13 now which is great

i seem to remember him playing alongside cudjoe and mcgillvary..setting up some nice tries too for them

may have had to fill in other side for injuries but the above combination of those 3 on one side is top class

if hinchy move to 13 where does that leave bruno?

bench? give hinchcliffe a rest but that would then prob mean leaving roberts out who has great impact off the bench

its a squad game anyway some will have to miss out some games cant play them all
