i would have thought next season berro will still be sharing the hooking role with houghton. i don't see the point in playing him at centre when we will have to sign a new hooker; and IMO there is nobody else in the squad who can rotate with houghton apart from tansey, but i can't see that happening

i agree berro looked good at centre but there's no reason he can't excel at hooker next season rotating with houghton

as for losing two props in cusack & dowes, i would move fitz or lauaki to prop and give washbrook 13 shirt every week (because i rate washbrook). then we can concentrate on signing a player in the mould of Chase - just what we need

I would move Washy to 9 because he is nowhere near good enough to play 6 but may get opportunity at 13 with Fitz to prop.

He is a Clive Churchill medal winger at centre, he has done well in his natural position, keep him there.

I think he also wants to stay in the area after his playing days, so i'm told.

No, perhaps aportion of it but it will have been used on other players upgrades.

Berrigans best position is Centre and he has done really well in the last few games there. If you have a back on the bench then you can always rotate if you want to give houghton a rest.

Washbrook is garbage I just dont see the big deal over him.

Yeah, keep him at centre. Washy could play 9 as cover just like Moore/Murrell.

There's a few options in our squad, alot depends on where Agar sees Tansey and Berrigan and to a lesser extent Fitzgibbon, Lauaki and Briscoe.

Tansey will be fullback for me. Unless we sign one which I can't see happening. Whiting could play fullback allowing Tansey to cover 6,7 & 9 but imo Tansey is a better option at fullback.

If we sign him, I'm bidding for the contract to supply the letters E and A to the club for shirts.

If he is Berro needs to be the other centre.

If we can't get a halfback i'd be looking for a ball playing fullback and use Tansey to cover the halfs and hooker.

Isn't that what Tansey is?

Wouldn't happen , yeaman will never get dropped.
