bestie1983, im a saints and believe me scott moore is dreadfull, so i would accpet that bid and would be glad to see the back of him, he carnt pass, tackle, kick or attack

With Finch arriving? We are talking next season and with the squad we will have he's going to be a bench player at best IMO. He can cut it against the lesser teams but I think we are going to find out his legs are not up too it in high intensity games like the playoffs. So next season he could do a job if injuries occur but I would not want him playing in big games like Leeds, Saints and Wire.

No one has picked Harrison Hansen yet, is that because people think Mossop and Farrell are already better than him, believing these rumours about going to Salford or just forgetting about him? Whatever it might be i personally think he will be in the first 17 if everyone was fit because of the extra experience and physicality he offers compared to the younger players, same with Prescott as Pemps said.

Also I would imagine Lima will be used as an impact prop with Coley starting. A bench of McIlorum, Lima, Prescott and Hansen with the option of bringing O'Carroll, Farrell, Tuson or Mossop in is a great prospect and the years we've put into these players will really pay off.

Rubbish.

Just in sheer hope that we sign a new 9:

1. Sam
2. Roberts
3. Gleeson
4. Carmont
5. Richards
6. Finch
7. Leuluai
8. Fielden
9. Someone as good as/better than Piggy or we are screwed.
10. Coley
11. Hoffman
12. Joel
13. O'Loughlin

14. Lima
15. McIlorum

and Prescott/O'Carroll/Mossop/Hansen/Tuson/Farrell/Davies to fight it out over the last two spots which is the best thing about our squad next year.

Phelps does play 6 is there any possibility he could be fulfilling this position next year with Sam going to fullback? I wouldn't personally make this move but I'd like to see him some where in the 17 man squad.

Can't see that happening when he can't get a game in the current squad.

Sam at full back is a must gives us way more options

I think Roberts at fullback gives us way more options.

If he can recapture his early season form (which was only halted by a serious injury) then he was one of the best and most destructive players in the league at that time.

If everyone is on form, then....

Roberts
Richards
Carmont
Gleeson
Goulding (Just because he deserves it)

Sam
Finch

with Tommy in the hooking role.

Is stronger than.........

Tomkins
Richard
Carmont
Gleeson
Roberts

Finch
Deacon?

------------------------

Sam has been fantastic at FB, but he was also fantastic at SO. He's going to be fantastic wherever you play him, and if we have another top quality FB in Roberts then we can play them both in positions where they are both very effective.

Yeah with his early season form roberts was world class at full back and with goulding doing well on the wing id ave him there

I have my doubts that Deacon will be a player next year, at least from what i am hearing. Though it will probably depend if we sign anyone else in the coming months?

1 Phelps
2 Goulding/ Roberts
3 Gleeson
4 Carmont
5 Richards
6 Tomkins
7 Finch
8 Fielden
9 TL
10 Coley
11 Hoffman
12 JT
13 Lockers

14 Mickey Mac/ Deacon

Then let lima, hansen, prescott, o'carroll, etc... fight for the bench spots
