People keep mentioning Matty Smith as a replacement - well and good, a sound option, and definately one of the more improved backs this season, but who would partner him - how about Gareth Widdop from Melbourne Storm at no6 , performs consistently well and is English too, was outstanding last season for Storm and has been one of the lead performers so far this season, perfomed well for England last year when given the opportunity, and a good utility player who can fill in at fullback, centre or in the halves,reckon these two would do well under the Wane regime.

Quote: al283 "You can have Matty Russell back now !!

Very elusive, strong & willing runner - a bit Jason Robinson but thats it.

Fullback ?? Never - won't even go near the high ball now much less catch it, positioning dire - where was he when Hodgson scored from 60 metres at the Etihad ?? Flippin nowhere.

Can't pass very well either.

Hardly electric, hasn't scored at Hull in 4 games.

But for injuries to Horne, Sharp & martin wouldn't be in the team.

Hope he makes it but it won't be at full back, not anytime soon.'"


19 years of age and according to this should be on the scrap heap already!

All they've ever produced is Tom Briscoe.......'"


Exactly one player during their time in Super League, shocking!

Hence why he's out on loan.

Quote: DaveO "He has also said the replacement half back is already at the club which must mean one of the junior players if he says Sam is staying at 1. If so I don't see how they can be considered good enough to be a first choice half back in exactly the same way Russell can't be considered ready to play at full back for the first team. In fact given he has been on loan and got some SL experience he is further down the line in acquiring the necessary experience to play 1st team footy than any of the junior half backs.

If Russell isn't ready neither are any of the home-grown half backs and with M Smith and a junior player at 6 and 7 the drop in quality and experience from Finch and Tommy is going to be huge.

If Wane doesn't want to plug that glaring gap with Sam that is up to him but unless we do sign someone we are going to have a problem at half back next season at some point. Junior players can be sensational for a while but soon get worked out by the opposition unless they are freakishly good like Sam.'"


Where has this been said exactly?
