Top six 2005 - Trinity.:



Quote: Kirmudgeonlyisback "Having just watched the London game was very impressed with Rourke , now storton is confirmed and if you add in the other strongly rumoured or confirmed signings we seem to be building nicely “


Full backs max and Rourke
Wingers Johnson walmsley possibly olpherts
Centres hall Pratt Scott booth

Halves Russel , Truman Lino lawford

Front row mckmeeken , atoni , uele , Bain vagana

Hookers parcell doyle smith

Back row rodwell Storton pitts griffin ?

Russel possibly and an overseas berth starting to feel very positive about our sl return

With at least'"


You’ve added in a few you’d like to see but from what I can see currently we stand at the below.

Here you go:

Fullback
Jowitt
Rourke (rumoured)

Wing
Johnstone
Walmsley

Centre
Pratt
Hall
Croft
Booth

Halfback
Lino
Russell
Lawford
Truman (rumoured)

Props
Mckmeeken
Atoni
Rodwell
Uele
Vagana
Bain

Hooker
Doyle
Smith

Second row
Storton
Scott

Loose forward
Cozza

We only have 21 signed next season. Though I’m unsure about a couple of younger players.

It’s clear where the gaps are.

Second row, loose and hooked are 3 x positions we need strong signings in.

Personally I’d look at Bienek from London for a year or two as impact prop and play Bain at 13 with Pitts and Cozza.

I like Parcell and for 2 years think he would be a quality addition! If not I wouldn’t be against looking abroad for a quality 9. Judah Rhimbu PNG number 9 would be worth a look on edge of NRL.

Otherwise it’s clear we need a couple of edge forwards and I feel if we are to make a big signing it would be worth it here. Not sure there’s many about though.

As for wing - I think Booth can play there if required and if we sign Rourke he looks like he’d be an option too.

I’m expecting the club to announce Olpherts at some point but personally I don’t think he’s SL level and has at the tail end of his career found his place in this league. Whoever was on the left this season has scored tons from the space created from pivots. I like Olpherts but I’m sure he will get a contract at a good championship club like a few others should they wish.

Why has everyone got Macmeeken down as a prop when he is a SR? He's played prop but I would personally call him a backrower.

Stockton good signing.'"


Because this year he’s begun the transition toward the front row and next year he’ll be a year older. He’s also been selected by England as a front rower and I’m sure he’ll want to continue to press his claim for the national team in the position that Wane sees him playing.

Because for the last season and a half he's played prop with great success. Including England

Mike McMeeken has caught my eye as a prop in a way he never quite did in the second row.Massive signing.

I’ve seen him play prop and second row this season and he’s been best forward on the pitch in both.

I’m more than happy to see him in second row. He could probably fill the left second row spot with TJ on the edge.

Either way he’s a very good player in both.

Not strictly true, he’s featured at second row this season a number of times. He plays both equally as well.

The question was, why do people think of him as a prop.
He's number 8 in the squad and plays prop. That's why I think of him as prop.
If he's played second row too then fine. But I still see him as a prop. And clearly Catalan did too.

Was just saying he hadn’t just played prop last 18 months. He’s played both and what I’ve seen been best forward on the pitch in both positions.

We could see him line up any but it all depends on who else we sign and what Powell wants ultimately.

I’ve been impressed with him at prop and SR on tv so I’m not bothered personally. I’m just happy we’ve signed him.

I don’t think it matters much what he is. He can play both to a very high standard.

I get that but you can’t just bin ten seasons in the back row, at the very least he is both. To me personally he’s a SR playing at prop. Either way it hardly matters as he plays both well and as Powell says he wants players who are versatile.

That's just how I see him now.
I don't see him quite as mobile as he used to be.

How long did it take for Peacock or Morley to be regarded as props?

In a previous life he might well have played 2nd row.

But he's now a prop in my eyes and a bloody good one at that.

Fair point, but I reckon he will play both for us. One thing, Powell knows the player better than any of us.

No, again he’s played second row this season for Catalans as well as prop. He is very good in both positions.

Because you say "No" does that make it factual?

He's a prop for me. Plays better at prop in my opinion. Played international rugby league as a prop. Was announced by the club when we signed him as a prop.

I'm willing to bet he's played prop alot more than 2nd row in the last couple of seasons
