Trojan
What I don't understand is why you need him to keep proving himself but not Walmesly or anyone else.
He's played well in SL once he settled in. Was great last year and has been one of our best this year.
Agree' would as we have now a pack that play as one and every forward does is bit to take the team forward .So Trojan are you saying we should have the same rule for Jowitt and T J and the other players who had stinkers against Saints . If they do not improve over the season they should be moved on ? Atoni was the forward last year who lifted the fans when he came on to the pitch And I think this season he his looking just as good against much stronger team's than are in the Championship 1. Where did I say we should have a rule that if a player has a stinker and doesn’t improve we should move them on? YOU not me literally just made that up and passed it off as something I said. Why do that??? 2. With the context of me saying I would like Atoni to show his good form consistently before I make up my mind fully. How has TJ and Max now been brought into it as they are proven SL players. We know they are capable at SL level already. It’s players who haven’t played SL or limited SL that need to prove in varying degrees their capability at this level. 3. I haven’t passed comment on Atoni last year. We are talking about SL and I’ve already said that Atoni is playing well these first 2 games. I don’t know whether you’re saying that as if I had disagreed at some point when I have already said he’s playing well.

| Ok that's fair enough. I guess I confused your confidence in Walmsley with you thinking he's good enough for a contract.
No need to be so offended. I asked a question and you answered it. I'm OK with that.
I have confidence in Atoni. For me he's already done enough to talk contract extension. In my opinion Walmsley hasn't yet, but these are only his first games in SL. He's got time

Not had the best day. Sorry, didn’t mean to be so uptight. I have growing confidence in Atoni too and I’ll support him. I certainly have more confidence in him after his first 2 games but I just want to see him perform as he has for a a few games more that’s all. If we are aiming top 6 then we need players who will perform consistently long term. My opinions can change. For example, I wasn’t keen on Matty Russell at all but I’ve been impressed by him and think that he has a lot to offer this season. I wouldn’t be dissapointed to see either Russell or Walmsley line up as it stands. I don’t think Walmsley is good enough for SL and he’s shown up pretty well vs top 4 opposition but he will have to put in some very good performances to get a contract with a few young players snapping for a starting spot next season. I guess we’ll see how it plays out. I do like the look of Faatili and will be interesting to see him continue to improve.

Agree Faatill is looking the real deal the more he plays ,the Question is who do we leave out of the 17 squad in the forwards when all fit Powell even said he is going to have to make some big decision about the team in a few week when players start returning.

What has impressed me with Faatilli is he hasn’t made any errors. It’s clear there is a player in there somewhere. Now he’s been here a month his minutes have increased to a good 30 minute spell or so. It was 100% the right call to ease him into games and slowly increase his minutes.
It’s a tough call for Powell now Rodwell is nearing fitness and Pitts only has a niggle.
A couple will have to train hard and wait their chance. The likes of Wigan, Saints etc have quality players who miss out but will still train hard and professionally for when they’re needed. That’s about the personality of the player which I hope we have good ones.
Still we have enough quality to rotate a little bit of a forward or two has a niggle so I think we may see minor changes as the weeks go by. The Hull game is a short turn around so players like Scott, maybe Rodwell, Roarke, Walmsley, Russell could ideally give a few pairs of fresh legs and energy options.
I don’t envy Powell but it’s better than the alternative of being down on troops.
I have confidence in pretty much any of our squad to take the field this year.

| If as it seems some Salford players may be available I was looking at their squad today and honestly other than quota players there’s only one I think would be of interest. Joe Sharrocks who plays 13.

| £75,000 apparently. Not a lot for that quality, but the cap space he frees up for Salford is important...until they fold at least.

Can’t see Salford been in SL next season. They’ll have to try do what we did. As for players available, I’d be looking at Matt Whitley from Saints as a top target to sign.

| Chris Hankinson offered to clubs but got injured last night, utility back but not one that would add any value to us. Shorrocks or Watkins only players I would consider, MacDonald would be good but push back someone's development and we would need to create a quota spot. I do feel now is the time for the rfl to make a quota exemption for clubs.
