Bang on the money.

His future is in his own hands. He just needs to put the kebab down and grasp it.

Jordan seems to get his genes from his fathers side of the family, he's about 30st.

Probably gets his jeans from his dad too

I wasn't trying to counter anything, merely stating that those are the players we have who can play a certain position.

However, since you brought it up... With regards to the younger lads, how do expect them to get beyond playing "virtually no games between them" if they're not seen as genuine back up and we go out and sign players who would be picked ahead of them? In that list you name Navarette, Sutton, Thompson and Richards who have all recently come through various academies, maybe we should see if our lads can do the same?

Fair enough yes..They need opportunity. But need drip feeding into it. Based on our squad with 2 or more injuries (not difficult,had our fortunes this year in that regard) we're straight into putting them into a key part of what we do as a team and hoping they'll come through ok with no previous to go on. That's not usually how teams go about winning comps. Obviously how said teams above are not going about it. It's just my opinion but we're 1 shy of the right cover. I've seen enough of the young lads mentioned to feel fine about them coming in for a game or 2 under our own terms. Long term injury (anything over 3 or 4 week to a couple of our main men I'd worry

Fair points with regards to the long term cover. It's just difficult to manage the cap I guess, so becoming reliant on the youth players are a necessity (see wigan). If it was a choice between signed another forward who may not get much game time (hopefully), or signing a 6, then I don't feel we have much option.

An outside back is a strange one for me, unless someone like Naughton is leaving.

The Naughton rumour is a strong one, and if he leaves it will be disappointing. He's already back in Oz.

Agree not sure we need another outside back when we have Naughton, Connor and Logan. I'd use the cap to sign an experienced Stand Off.

think Lancaster and naughton are going,

As for noggers being back in Oz don't forget though his mum lives in Oz so could just be going back for the off season, so could be a bit of a red herring and fuelling the rumour.

Would be disappointed to see him go but it maybe to get the 6 that AP alluded too we have to ship some out & maybe Naughton is one, who knows.

With the resigning of Michaels you do wonder where Naughton will play and how often as for me when he comes in for the odd game he hadn't been great at times but when he had a run of games he was pretty good. Plus still young and no quota spot required for him so seeing as Lancaster has been released would be strange to see Naughton go too.
