It's all ifs and buts, though. It would have been great if we used a lot of our players properly and had a lot of our ex players coached by a top coach, but have to make decisions at some point whether enough is enough.

Suppose we'll wait and see.

Yeah, before we know it, there'll be a line of players queuing up to tell the HDM how well pre-season training is going and that they have never felt fitter!!

Excellent timing. Mind you, someone should have told PG that for the last several seasons we've been the best team in world RL at training according to the press.

Burnett a prop, errm, after you with the smelling salts Peter.

The Burnett to prop thing is concerning to say the least. I hope I am wrong though it goes without saying.

In Sir Peter Gentle we trust.......

I always thought he looked abit lightweight for a prop.
I trust Gentle see's something in him though, get him on the diet all the Bradford Bulls players where on a few years ago and give him some decent coaching - could turn out to be a shrewd move.

Do you think Gentle could be looking for a more mobile pack .more so with the new kicking rule coming in this season

Where has PG said about Burnett playing prop ?

"We've talked about moving him into the front row and he's happy with that."

Cheers dude.

Interesting. He has the height and if he puts some "bulk" on could be a clever move from PG.

Aye, like kt170496 maybe Gentle sees him as a more mobile prop, kind of like Australia & NSW have used Gallen recently. Obviously he won't be as good Gallen but you get the idea. Could be quite a shrewd move with the interchanges coming down, the 'bigger' props will probably tire later in the game.

For sure.

I'd imagine he'll be able to do plenty of minutes like Lynch. Be good to have some competition for the starting 4 props aswell.

In the earlier link im pleased hes concentrating on our attack. Hopefully we wont see drive scoot drive inside ball all season.

I can see us going with a more mobile pack this season just like Wests are. Also with only 4 recognised props and then Burnett as the 5th. I'm really hoping that Bowden will get a couple of games this season in the league and play the majority of the cup games.
