Delightful with ball in hand, seam to remember him tearing saints apart at their place in the first half. Only to witness us conceding a hefty lead in the second half.

I agree he looked busy and enthusiastic. It seems he will be sharing the 13 position with Crowther. Looks good to me, just needs to get his match fitness back.

I’m surprised he isn’t playing second row though and learning a new position but he went well at 13 and we have Ashurst, Tanginoa and Pitts who can play SR.

If he can give us a strong first 30 and a strong last 15/20 or so I’ll be happy with that.

Seemed very vocal on the pitch too, which has appeared lacking at times in recent years

It’s like everything in the modern game, what exactly is a 13 these days? He’s basically a ball handling middle and when what he’s doing doesn’t work Crowther will com on and do something different.

I don’t claim the tactical knowledge of a coach but I do know most positions are fluid these days.

I mean Whitbread, what is he, anything you want it seems. For me only Ashurst is an out and out SR the rest could do almost any role.

So Proctor to me is just Proctor the forward.

Except Ashurst has played centre and hooker. I think hes as versatile as the rest.
Proctor is a big intelligent player. He will be able to play anywhere. If 13 is the best fit then great, but Mash said he'll also play wide sometimes.

When did he play in those position! I don't recall. Unless it was some emergency on the pitch. New level of pedantry even for you.

Also as ever you have an astonishing ability to create your own narrative, I never said he couldn't or wasn't versatile, he's just so accomplished in the SR why would anyone not play him anywhere else.

There was a block of around 5 or 6 games a couple of seasons back where Crowther started at hooker and when he went off, Ashurst moved from SR to 9, he went quite well actually. It was at a time where we had no hookers fit, I can`t remember him playing centre though.

I like the idea of Proctor at 13, a loose naturally gets there hands on the ball a lot more than a SR, Proctor is such a quality player that I imagine we want him to have as much input as possible. Just re watched the game, I`m surprised at how slick Proctors ball handling skills are, something that he never really showed that much in the NRL from what I saw.

Noticed he was eager to interact with the kids in the crowd to talk and sign autographs, which is nice to see.

That's a long, long time ago.
That calibre of player doesn't come over here very often and certainly not to Trinity these days.

Well I think in Proctor we have one. In fact a better playing career than Graham.

To be honest out of all the players interviewed on the Heritage podcast I didn’t warm to Graham, don’t know why.

This aged well.

Heard he's heading home

Could he take atoni and taufa with him ?

I hope so, he looks way past his sell by date
