| Quote: Cokey "Atm - the 2017 fixture list doesn't show a 4 day turnaround for any one team.
Don't forget, short turnarounds will always occur anyway, at worse a 5 day turnaround.There is no team that plays on a Sunday then on a Thursday.
If what i suggested that all teams played at the weekend other than when on sky,then if you played on Thursday,then your previous game would've been played on a Saturday.
I can't see a problem with it.'"
Like I say- you'll see.....

Remember Wakeman was being considered as someone to bring in "down the line" by Rick Stone.
The fact that Huby left without much notice brought that forward. Initially he was not considered as a first line prop option.

| Why wouldn't Wakeman be starting prop no 10 ??
We have Rapira, Wakeman, Mason, Clough and Smith plus Sebastine and in emergencies Ukuma.
Four outright props and two prop/back rowers and probably it was the freeing up of Huby's wages that allowed us to get Shannon.

Because he's never played first grade? Just saying he wasn't in Rick Stones short term plans until Huby left.
Not saying he shouldn't eventually play starting prop but I'd say he needs breaking in gently - remember he'll have had no pre-season with us and consequently will be behind fitness wise.

a few options to replace him with is stone doesnt put him straight in, no team has even been announced yet!
and huby leaving early prob meant that we could afford to bring wakeman in early, better for us!
same with ikahihifo last season and symonds, they were probably 2017 signings for anderson but with the injuries and sl place at risk they came in earlier

The highest position I have seen anyone predict us to finish is 9th.

I've seen a prediction that we will end up being replaced by London via the middle 8s. Now that what I call being under the radar.

| Predictions like that are just lazy and easy to make
Leeds should be more worried, Widnes look like they have no Half backs, Leigh are totally untested - have Salford recruited anyone?
When push comes to shove we are better off now than this time last season

Now that's one I've not seen- that must be the most ridiculous one yet.
The only way that is going to happen is if London recruit thurston and cam smith, and all the hudds players break their legs all at once in some mass freak training ground accident.

| Yes
Totally untested
You just scraped past the worst three teams in SL, Giants gave you an 18 point start and you were still lucky to win
Week in and week out in SL is a different matter to 4 playoff games
