Quote Wellsy13="Wellsy13"Wire have Briers and Myler, with Ratchford backing up.
Wigan have Green and Smith, with (I'd guess) Tomkins as back up.
Leeds have Sinfield and McGuire, with Burrow backing up.
Saints have
Huddersfield have Brough and Robinson, with Grix backing up.
Catalans have Pryce and Dureaux, with Bosc backing up.
These all have top class half backs, and a great player backing up if need be.
We have Holdsworth, followed by a choice of 3 back ups (2 of which don't work). We NEED a 7.
It should be Holdsworth and [new 7, with Horne backing up.
Saints are having a similar (but not as big) a problem.
Even Rovers have got this covered better than us. We will never progress until this 6 year problem is resolved.'"
I dont disagree that we need a 7 but with the idea that we can't win without one. I got my Moore and Smith mixed up at Wigan but are at lot of the top teams half's THAT much better than ours ?
I thought Holdsworth and Mcdonnel seemed to be forming a very tidy partnership and it was generating tries, we saw yesterday how offence could come from the hooker too with Monaghan. I think we can win with Holdsworth and Horne (if his form keeps up) as offence can also come from other areas. We won't win the league but I think we can be better than last year and keep up our general improvement.
