Yes, good point. Ellis if fit can play long minutes as well, as long as he is not flogged. Playing Feka for about 10 minutes each half will make him much more effective. Be interesting what he does with Manu and Pritchard. I think one of them will start from the bench.

manu or washbrook will play 13 with the other one on the bench I reckon

What would be your 17?

abdull will start 13 with manu interchanging

I still think he might use Manu primarily as a prop, only going to 13 if Abdull has to play in the halves.

Quite like the fact the manu signing as seemed to of gone completley under the radar, he didnt have the best nrl season last year, but until then was a very good nrl forward. Better than mini, and look how well hes gone in super league. Think manu will suprise a few next season

Reportedly we beat Leeds to his signature. Difficult one to predict.

tut tut, you cant post stuff like that, nobody turns leeds down, if so, they were never in for them lol

Seriously though, season can't start soon enough now. Off season seems endless.

Hope springs eternal.

As my lad keeps singing "come on you ull" bless his cotton socks he's only been going for a couple of years hes not felt the pain fully yet lol

He didn't have a great year. But they knew he was leaving n totally changed how they used him. Mainly focused on their young back rows. Understandable tho.
I was talking to a coaching staff member at a christmas doo. Didn't bend his ear too much about rugby. I did ask tho who's looking good in training and who's he looking forward to seeing play himself. He answered within an instant "sika manu"

No Ellis until around 3. Unsurprising, but massive injury to recover from, hope they're risk-averse in deciding when to bring him back.

Lucky we are covered in that Area. Best ease him back as I think one more bad injury will finish him.Really hope he comes back as still one the best around imo
