IF Ellis doesn't make it next season (a full recovery is no gimme by any stretch) then Green as a possible starter with Watts, we need to find a better balance than we have done this year where time and time again we have two weaker props on and noticeably there's being a loss of impetus.
I'm also not seeing how we are officially under the cap with the players we have next year, certainly more high wage earners than this year

Exactly. I think people are so focused on what Westerman does (or doesn't do) in attack they miss the huge number of tackles he gets through. Abdull isn't up to that yet IMO, either in terms of fitness or defensive technique.

I thought our defense struggled in midfield when he was out injured. He's a big lad and he he tackles well and I'd be sorry to see him leave.

I like Abdull though and I'm hoping he continues to get long spells in the first team. I'd like to think that it's up to him to get his head down and work at it. At the start of 2016 if he doesn't apply himself in the off-season he could find himself third choice stand off and third choice loose forward.

Spot on cuckoo

Like the look of that, stong bench. Cant see manu or pritchard or mini srarting on the bench though, nice headache to have

1 will start on the bench. It's the point of having 3top line 2nd rows. To maintain the level throughout the games! Manu more a starting player for me. Would love to see frank andTaylor off the bench about 20mins in.

Wingers are too slow.

I know and agree. Just think radford will find a place for all 3 in the starting line up

which ever he starts or brings on wont matter there will cause mayhem

Sure he said plan was to keep the intensity when 1off or out. Only way to do that is to play 1 instead of Westy. Or at prop and totally waste their ball skills. Be periods when manu will play 13 I'd guess at just to spell West as well. I'd really love to see frank off the bench tho. Think with his size and hands he'd be devasting v tiring defences

Whatever happens , it's going to be intresting and very exciting . Our defence is going to be awesome, just hope we can sort our attack out, do that and we've a very good chance of a good season

I hope so. I haven't looked forward to the next season this much since we signed fitzgibbon and o'meley
