It doesn’t particularly thrill me but the role of 13 is changing to a third prop rather than that link between forwards and HB’s. Mainly due to the fact most props and forwards now are passing before they hit the line actually to their HB, renders the 13 role useless hence the shift.

I think the top class 6&7 is absolute priority as you say. Before any position we have to recruit and recruit well there. James Maloney would be my first target.

If your referring to me, that's a scurrilous accusation.

I thought it was common knowledge that Sneyd will be playing at Wigan next year?

Its awful. Pass accuracy and speed is atrocious, defence is all over the place.

Wish I worked weekend nights, total garbage I had to ask 30 minutes in if Williams was playing,was told yes then I asked on who's pitch

Here we go. Really don’t know how this comes down to Williams? The whole team is in disarray.

He’s our marquee player in a main pivot position in an attack that looks worse than a school team that’s been thrown together for the first time.

Well you’ve hit the nail in the second part of your comment there. I’d be surprised to see any marquee player stand out in this Wigan attack. No platform, nobody running lines, no support.

Williams role in part is to orchestrate the attack but he offers absolutely nothing. Needs to go to free up much needed salary cap space

It‘s fair enough if we spend it but if we decide to bring in Liam Finn then we’d be better keep throwing money at him.

Its not Williams fault. He may not be in his best form but i maintain that no halfback can work miracles if they have no options outside of them. Our attacking line offers no threat to the defending team, its just pass the parcel along the line from side to side.

Thank goodness. What a waste of a marquee slot.

its his job to get them going, hes out pivot and organiser....he makes the wrong decisions all the time. Is utter, utter garbage. Had enough for this hes young crap and its not his fault. Hes on top, top money and is no where near delivering it. Last year Sam madse his job easier as he did his job for him, now hes been found out without an outside or inside pivot.

George isn’t our organiser and therein lies the problem, we don’t have one. He plays his best rugby off the cuff with a seven who pulls strings e.g. the massively underrated Matty Smith.

Whilst I’m sure many will disagree we have a very talented 6 and 1. What we don’t have is a 7 and 9.

As committed and down to earth as Sam Powell appears, I’m simply not literate enough to express the lack of satisfaction it gives me that he is our 9 compared to Roby, Parcell, Clark, McShane etc. I was half hoping O’loughlin was going to knock him out.
