Watch a re-run of our playoff game at Wire, you can see why he'll never make a half back. Rabbit in the headlights stuff. That's not his fault, he wasn't recruited to play that position.
No beef with him as an individual but I don't see his usefulness to us.

You don't see the point in signing another hooker when we've got Houghton who can do 80 minutes, Seriously?
So if Houghton manages to play every game for the full 80. Do you honestly expect him to be fully fit towards the end of the season? He'll be burnt out ffs. Also what if he gets injured? We wouldn't have another experienced hooker to play? Come on think about it.
Can't just throw young Cunningham in there with no real experience and expect him to lead the team around the field for the full 80.
Fwiw, Heremaia has been a really good signing for us imo. Has good speed and passing accuracy, doesn't shy away in defence and seems a pretty clever player. Good signing for me. |

Gentle himself has said that, although Houghton CAN play 80minutes, his effectiveness starts to dip and it would be a real plus when Heremaia was back from injury. He's right, too. I rate Houghton highly, but he can't do it himself to the standard he can when spelled, IMHO. |

Feel very sorry for Ben Crooks but prepared to see Arundel get a chance.
No Heremaia for me, don't see what the fuss is about. He's behind DH at 9 and will never make a halfback. Waste of a space.'"
We went sideways when Danny was on and slowly. He scoots well and is a tireless worker but Heremaia ran straight and brought players on or passed sharply and accurately when he switched to 9. He's a good player and we should be using him in his best position especially when we're struggling with creativity. |

Not sure whether to start Johnson or O'Meley, I'd like to think Lynch will be rested and would prefer Ogre out there when this happens.
Also good to have Pitts in the 17, can play prop or LF to tighten things up and really helps with the forward rotation.
I hope Gentle starts to play Westy out wide, preferably right with Ellis left, but I don't think that will happen.

Surprised that people are putting a backrow of Galea, Ellis and Westerman because I thought our terrible start was down to only have 2 props on the pitch at the start. We looked far stronger down the middle when Pitts was on the pitch and then Johnson impressed when he came on as a 3rd prop.

Galea needs to improve his fitness before getting in the 17 IMO.
Westerman needs to consistently perform from round 1 or be replaced in the 17.

Yep, posted pretty much the same to be honest on Sunday night.
Still I'm looking forward to my trip to Leeds |

Bang on as usual, Chief. Only question is Whiting's fitness. |

I don't get what Westerman has to prove? He was consistently one of our best at the back end of last season, played very well against Cas and was by no means the worst on Sunday.
I'm just glad Gentle appreciates him, as he's said countless times.

The great thing about this thread is the number of options that Gentle has. I don't remember us having so many options in so many key positions for years at the start of a season.
