You would play Heremaia at half back so that Horne can play full back?

| Quote: Bet Lynch "I suppose a lot will go down to the style of player Radders wants to adopt, there is a lot of noise about improving offensive play so personally I suspect Shaul maybe first choice due to the fact like you say he is great in broken play, te off a stick! Shaul is doing well at defence & I am confident more time under Radders care he will improve even more in this area, very exciting player. The thought of him, Crooks & Lineham in the line up is very appealing imo'"
Will be 1 of the best in the league,pace and power...add in Arundle,the union bloke and Miller,then we have a bloody fast back-line.

As things presently stood yes if we lost Holdsworth or Miller, however I am not sure how close the U19s players are ready, also I suspect it depends on who the opposition is & whether we were going to be kicked to death, also would depend on what forwards we had available to see where Whiting fits in, my point is we have players who can cover positions and I suppose we could go on all week with what if certain players were injured.

Yep, I would like to see another addition to the front line, we have the potential to produce some exciting rugby!

Well quite, using players out of position when you have a well balanced squad is ridiculous.
We have cap space for another 1 or 2 players so i'm not sure what the point of weakening one position to "over" strengthen another one is.

| I like both players and wouldn't argue at whoever gets the number 1 shirt. Both add something to the role and there's no many teams who can boast such great cover at full back (even more so if you include Rich Horne).

As it stands with no other signings, this is what I hope we go with.

Hope so but will be surprised if Shannon makes the first game due to fitness.

| What if, as expected, we sign Biggs? Would people still prefer Shaul?

| Why stick him on the wing???
He's a a full back he needs to be playing FB would Wigan stick Tomkins in the wing for a year to let someone see out there contract at FB?
In my eyes he is first choice until injured or plays poor then Shannon's in. It's simple.

I'd guess Cunningham will join his brother at Donny next season.

| Quote: major black "I don't see why you could drop Shaul. 9 try's in 10 or something. Exciting to watch, his support play is far better than McDonnell. Unless he had a couple of stinkers or an injury I just can't see any other reason why you would start McDonnell over Shaul.'"
Because McDonnell is the better all-round player at the moment.
And it wouldn't be 'dropping' Shaul. It would be using the squad as intended.
McDonnell may well not be fit for the start of next season anyway, so Shaul will get plenty of game time. Good to have competition at FB for a change rather than scrambling around desperately for cover.
