Cover yes but speed no plus I am not sure that he can take a full game playing centre. He is still a better option than Gilmour a name I have seen suggested on here before.

| I thought he made a good fist of it, can't really remember coming away from a game and thinking Ryan was poor.

| Hope we dont end up with to many options at 6 ans 7 and that webbo knows the best options and combo now. With Smith at 7 the ptions for the 6 spot are many, it could cloud the issue. The squads taking shape and looking good.

| I'm very happy with this signing. Paul Sykes was not a player many fans were too keen on bringing in, yet when he was moved to six it turned round our entire season. It could be the same with Miller, in that individually he may not set the game alight but is potentially the perfect partner for Tim Smith in the halves.
And the having Sammut as our regular full back could be quite devastating, a bit of a poor man's Sam Tomkins for us. Then with Hall and Collis in the centres I'd expect our wingers to be notching up a fair few scores next season.
If I was being greedy, I actually think Jordan Tansey could round this squad off nicely. Can cover 1-6 to a decent standard.

Big Daniel Smith being given a run at 13 at the back of an already big pack would great as he has also got a good off load game in addition to being quite mobile.
Can see the first choice 17 now as....
1. Sammut.
2. Owen
3. Collis
4. Lynne
5. Riley
6. Hall
7. Tim Smith
8. Anderson
9. McShane
10.Scruton
11.Kirmond
12. Ryan
13. Daniel Smith
14. Lauitiiti
15. Paea
16. Kirke
17. Godinet'"
As i said before a ball playing 13, i.e an extra pivot - Kevin Brown and Sinfield are prime examples of this i would imagine there around a similar size.
We are in need of a FB and if Webster thinks Miller fits the bill then thats a good thing !

Brown at loose forward? When was that?
He is a halfback, play him there.

Hall is a centre! No chance can Miller play anywhere other than the halves, he has promise in attack, but is woeful in defence.

| I still think Tim is planning to return to Australia after this year hence the one year deal for him and JW is looking at Miller as a long term replacement. We have been able to get him for peanuts this year due to FCs generous pay off so we can afford an understudy. After his indifferent performance at Hull no club would give him a long term deal unless he proves himself and we couldn't afford to give one. No point in speculating where he will play but I won't be surprised to see him wearing the number 7 shirt in 2016 on a 3 year deal.

He seems a man of many talents . Over the years on the Hull boards i've heard people say he's a SO, , wing and sometimes fullback. I agree about Miller, can't see him anywhere other than the halfs and I'd be surprised if Webster converts him to FB. Unless he sees something in him in training that most of us haven't seen.

If that does happen it's good that the club have thought ahead and already planning next year. Saying that hopefully Tim stays longer but who knows.

| As I said before, we might get a better idea when squad numbers come out, any news when they are out? I guess we won't until squad is finalised

As I said too small to do all the defensive graft expected of a regular 13 and wouldn't take the ball up. He is 6ft but only 13 stone. Kevin Sinfield is 5 ft 11 and 14 stone 11 lb. Kevin Brown 6ft and 14 stone 2 lb.

You may well be right but like Miller,Riley,Peua,Kirke, and anybody else on a one year contract they would probably re-sign given that we are still in SL come the end of the new season, which could well have been the main reason they only committed for the coming season.

On Wednesday night Webbo said he wasn't a fan of squad numbers and they would not reflect his thinking as to team make-up So watch out for Scruton in the 1 shirt
