Watts & Mullally

Panthro

Watts and Hanbury are both very good players who will probably the two most aggressive half-backs in defence you'll see in SL this season.

1 - Watts
2 - Hanbury
3 - Craven - I hope he gets game time.

Rhys Hanbury is an excellent signing, plenty of potency in attack but for the past two seasons his defence out wide has some what let him down. I have seen Rhys standing with his hands on his hips looking at a try being scored out on the wing too many times. Rhys can be a tad lazy in defence if the scoreline is against him.

If Watts hunts down opposition half backs they way he went after Myler on boxing day he will certainly make his mark on SL early doors and if the rest of the team can follow suit we could get some good starts in games. Obviously we wait and see how he goes for a full 80 but I'm not too concerned over that.

Agree with Craven, really hope he gets a decent amount of game time and going off friendlies and also being first choice last season (Ok at FB) fingers crossed he will as the lad has fantastic natural ability and is a good support player too.

I'm looking forward to seeing Davies and Kavanagh this season. Both really talented and hard working young forwards who if they keep developing could feature on the international stage sooner rather than late IMO.

I'd also go for Ah Van too I must admit! Yes he can be a bit dozy at times (though boxing day defence was good IMO and took all his bombs too) but he is still relatively young, has a full SL season under his belt and if we can use his size (and surprising pace for his size) in that right areas he could cause a lot of damage.

Richie Myler

Is Toa Kohe Balboa Love still hanging around? Looking forward to seeing him bust 'em up.

Other than him? Patrick Our Van - gonna be massiiif this guy.

I will be very interested to see how Kavanagh goes.He is a big favourite amongst many fans but I am none too sure.

Ben Cross. Awesome player.

I am unsure of Ah Van, but he did make some good runs against Swinton. He could be a powerful line- breaker.

He strikes me as the sort who will either win you a match or lose you a match.

I think if you can get him firing, you'll have a hell of a player on your hands. The man has all the attriibutes needed.

You'll be waiting a while won't you?

Pass............

As an outsider ,for me Briscoe,if only to see which way his nose will end up pointing at the end of the season.
Hope he does well,always liked him whilst at Hull.
