Kopczak?

If we have signed Kopczak which most journos seem to think we have, i would start with Kopczak and Fifita, Huby and one of King/England off the bench. Pauli should be kept in the back row unless we are down on numbers. Likewise Arona, leave him at loose unless required to fill in at prop.

I know the club likes to announce signings and then it's truly official but like George king, so many RL journalists seem like it's a done deal. But obviously, we'll see

If he isn't part of it Fifita, England Pauli and Huby atm, with some good cover if anyone gets injured or rested. If he is I'd move Pauli to the back row and he'd be probably starting with Fifita, then England and Huby off the bench.
Arona plays 13 as much as he can, unless serious injuries hit..

Fifita
England
Pauli
Kopzcak (if definate)
Huby
Hurst

Really see King as a back rower

I'm told enphatically that he is a prop.

I'm told the same.
He just isn't the size of a Big Dave so people doubt him but he's looked pretty solid in the games I've seen him play.

If all fit

Kopzack
England to start

Big Dave destructive when opposition are worn down
Huby off bench off load stretch teams

Pauli king backup as plenty versatility in both these players

I'd have Pauli ahead of Huby, if they are coming off the bench.Pauli strikes fear in the opposition and I dont think that Huby does, although he has a better off load game.

I see your point but equally if we start with Fifita we would also finish the game with him, so if we are behind going into the last 20 mins we get a massive boost.

Start with Dave and England/Kopzcak, replace with Huby and King/Kopczak. Bring Pauli into the back row.

In Dave and Kopzcak we have the luxury in that they both do quite big minutes for a prop and don`t seem to get any less effective at what they do.

Pauli Pauli picked up some really good form towards the back end of last season I thought he was our best forward, the game at Hudds sticks in my memory where they just couldn't physically bring him down - I hope he carries that into next season with him.

Just not sure if he will be playing prop or in the second row, i prefer him at Prop from what I have seen but Chester seems to want him in the second row.

Looking forward to next season!!

Paulie is not and will never be a back row, his strength is not standing out wide and unfair to ask him to defend out wide. He has many strengths no of them enable him to be an effective back row player, many of them enable him to be a very effective prop.

You say he will never be a back row then maybe someone should tell Chris Chester, Nathan Brown and Brad Arthur that, I think he has done a good job for us at prop and would be happy for him to continue there but I have only seen him play 1 game for us in the second row, he played 80 minutes and got man of the match against Cas to say he will never make a second rower is wrong.

Who enthatucally told you? God, Ted Richardson or was it while you were having a meal with Chris Chester and Michael Carter in MCs private chambers?

Wire fans have said on VT. He also played there coming off the bench when I saw him last year.
