Mcdonnell will be back,but Shaul will still be here, but its unfair on either to leave one out...

One big head ache for Gentle....

Who should be our number 1?

I should imagine PG will chose Shannon,but Jamie has done nothing wrong and has rightly earned his place...

thoughts?

I see Shaul playing wing to learn his trade and get experience. Then stepping in whenShannon is out. Crookes is not the man for me at wing.

Not a bad shout. Has Shaul always been a FB - thought I read he'd been a winger mainly? From the little I've seen of him, he looks like a natural FB.

Got to be Shaul for me needs to play let shannon cover back positions

I don't know in all honesty. I agree he looks a natural FB but you can't beat game experience and while we have Shannon I think wing is the sensible option for him. Certainly far better than DR at Donny.

Agree with that. Pearson says in the Mail today that Shaul has "a big future with us".

I think a lot of supporters were concerned that Jamie would freeze at Wembley and be targeted by Wigan, but he took the occasion in his stride.

McDonnell has been a good signing and for me should still be our number one. Shaul on the wing could be a good move for a year.

Crookes isn't good enough for Rugby League.. Awful winger, we'd have been better with Will Sharp!!

I've seen nothing from him to suggest he should be with us next year.

I thought Shaul was originally a half-back?

Either way, if he's happy playing a Whitingesque role in the backline, both he and the club will only benefit

Shaul's going on loan to Donny next year.

Arent we going on dual reg with them?..heard york pi$$ed us about a bit.

Shannon was something like the second best FB in the competition before injury. He'll still be first choice next season I reckon.

Would be interested in what the terms of that deal might be in terms of recall etc.

Yeah I think we are, would certainly make more sense to have him on dual reg than a full blown loan deal.

Shannon has to be fullback while he's with us. For as much as it never looks like he does a real lot the stats show that he does.

Jamie Shauls time will come.

I would put Shannon on the wing , he played there a lot for Newcastle Knights.
