| Quote: Trojan Horse "Pitts will play 13.
Bain will have to play prop.
The players can’t play two positions at once.
Ashurst, Griffin and Boothroyd are our second row. There’s no depth at all. Boothroyd I hope is good but yet to play above under 20s.
Pitts and Cozza will share 13 I presume.
Ashurst, griffin and Boothroyd second row.
Which ever way you cut it we are a bit light. In a few positions.
Centre we can probably get away with. Thornley, Pratt, Croft with Law too. Kay will cover a few positions in a back up role I suspect.
It’s a real shame we couldn’t keep Whitbread and Tanginoa because we would have looked frightening opposition to most championship squads.
We just need to replace these two with some high quality and we will look much stronger. No good though if they’re not good quality starting players. I can see why we are waiting to sign good quality players who will enhance the squad for this year and beyond.'"
We are more than likely going to have access to 2 (at least) good props, a centre and a winger most weeks if required as part of the duel reg agreement.

I hope that’s the case but what worries me is if we hit a few injuries and it comes to the business and of the season and those players we have relied upon aren’t available. That’s the downside of dual registration.

That's not really how it would work for us. Dual reg gets us past some injuries, but it gives you time to recruit a permanent solution at the business end.....whether that's a fixed loan or an actual signing.

| Sounds like when Max went off we really struggled.
Full back is an issue.

No we don’t if Powell says we don’t, I think the guy knows his stuff don’t you?

He does.
Today was clear to see though, after he went off. Were you there today.
I don't appear to be alone in what I saw.

I haven't heard him say we don't need cover there.
But it's a reasonable test in a friendly to take good players off to see how the team can cover.
Franco was certainly weaker but with more time he can be good enough for Championship.

While I think Franco was solid on the wing it’s the second time I’ve seen him at full back and I’ll be happy not to see him play there again. He’s exclusively a winger on what I have seen which is unfortunate but at least he will step in and do a solid job on the wing if needed.

| Daniel Hill is a full back and has been released by St.Helens but one thing that isn’t predictable is the Trinity signings and it’s probably more likely that Walmsley will become cover for Jowitt at full back than Franco…

I hope not. We lost way too much on the edge when Walmsley was moved to full back. Walmsley would be the last player I’d use as full back cover in the backs.

I missed that. I thought I just saw Franco at full back after Jowitt went off.

Me too, though Walmsley went off pretty quick after anyway.

I believe Walmsley went to full back for a matter of minutes and then doing a cover tackle copped a boot then Franco went to full back. All happened in a matter of minutes but there was a lot of changes which completely unraveled the team dynamics.
Unless Walmsley was chasing back but looked to me like he was full back for a short time.
Either way Walmsley should never be moved from the wing. Makes no sense to put your most potent weapon anywhere else.

Thats how I saw it too.
I'm sure it will have been discussed who goes there if Max goes off injured, and if he has played there before, it partly makes sense. That said, I do agree that our potent weapon should be playing in his most natural positon.
To me it just comfirms that we need someone else in the squad who can play there well enough without losing quality elsewhere
