Where do the academy players play?

Academy Players
Southernwood - Half Back
Davey - Hooker
Spiers - unsure
Wildie - unsure
Trout - Prop (but has speed and good footwork)
King - Centre ?
Cowling - Centre/Wing?

if we are looking to bring in a decent back rower they wouldnt go wrong with bringing back Rob Spicer. Excellent season down at Dewsbury...top tackler and a workhorse..get kear and broadbent working on him and he could be a bargain... young and english too...

Wildie is a scrum half I believe, also Grayston at loose looks promising.

not for me

Paul Johnson?

you need to add Henderson to the list.

Double post.

I think Murphy played quite a few Academy games at fullback last year, did anybody see him, and if so, how did he go?

Ferguson is adequate cover for JD at loose forward, so the main area to strengthen seems to be 2nd row (seem to have heard that before), I`d settle for Westwood & Johnson. The nominated 1st team squad, as per RFL rules is 25, so it appears there is room for 2-3 more yet.

How sure are we about Blanch re-signing, seems ominously quiet about that at the moment?

Murphy went really well at Full Back in the Academy/resevrves, strong defender as last line in defence and he's got a good footballing brain, he knows when to come into the attacking line etc.

For me his best position is Centre but I can understand why JK is playing him on the wing in his first few season of 1st grade (a bit like Gleeson in the last few years) if your a centre and you know how a winger plays, when you eventually play centre you'll understand how your winger wants you to defend, pass the ball, cover, communication etc making you a better centre......I think that makes sense :s

Adding in the prospective loanees from Wigan, Davies and Vievers, no idea of there positions though - anyone any idea?

Davies is a prop and Vievers is a full back.

Whop are these guys?

johnson has signed not really sure why the delay in announcing.

At the evening with 4 signings were mentioned not sure who other three are, so guess johnson is cover in centre and back row.


Grix has already gone, but if johnson is seciond row

Blaymire

Blanch
Millard
Gleeson
George

Jeffries
Brough

Korky
Obst
Stosic
Ferguson
Morrison
Demetriou

Tronc
Moore
Newton
Johnson


On top of this hopefully leo latu, henderson, murphy, bibb plus the academy team

I think all of the above with exception of JD are already committed to next season unless some one knows different

Looks a strong starting 13, but truthfully they will do well to perform as well as this team 2009 hasnt been just about the league position its the way we have played imo
