| I agree with S/O. He's not going to be a prop but the other options apart from being a winger seem possible.
I think I'd like to see him in the centres (like a Yere) but not sure if he has the pace either. If he could develop the required ball-playing skills, I could see him being a formidable hooker.
Maybe whilst he's still learning the game, his best place will be in the second row?

Yere isn't blessed with the greatest of pace either, he manages to break the line, then has the power to keep going, I think Pas could be a good centre, but as has been suggested, if his ballplaying is any good, he may be a cracker of a hooker.

| I think second row for him tbh even if he is a ball player (some of them can ball play too!) but mostly because I think he struggled with picking the ball up at dummy half (which is understandable as even though he played there as a youngster its effectively a new skill he has to learn/relearn), he seemed noticeably slower at this than our other players so for me its a no to hooker.

| The lad can certainly tackle, still getting to grips with the game, looked a little lost at times, not sure what his role was. Convinced he's got a lot more to come, his best position remains to be seen.

True, Yere has the power to bust tackles rather than pace to get by people. Yere's weakness is his tackle technique and if people get past him he can't usually catch them up. Pas is the opposite at the moment. His tackling is rock solid. We're still a little unsure where Pas will best fit in from an attacking point of view.
I'm sure as he gains more experience Cookey and Pas will find his best position. It'll certainly be interesting to see him develop through next season.

| Liam Colbon has had talks with Paul Cooke but has decided to hang up his boots due to injury problems.
Here is the full article from the Hull Daily Mail detailing what Liam is doing nowhttps://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Ex-Hull-FC-KR-winger-Liam-Colbon-aims-help-stars/story-23250768-detail/story.htmlrl

Have a look on the topics page of the forum, you'll see the very first topic is a "sticky" thread in red showing the Doncaster 2015 squad details.

| Interesting that Paul mentioned an as yet to be announced signing that should make us 'more than adequate' in the front row. Also Ryan Wilson got a lot of mentions so I wonder if he has signed as well. Was nice to hear that they had chosen not to bother with players whose attitudes might not be all that great too - its no good having a star player if they are going to disrupt the rest of the squad.

| Looks like we weren't kidding about improving the squad size - we already have the same number of players we started last year with by my count (24) and the squad doesn't really look close to finished.

| According to the Rugby Leaguer, Stu Sanderson has re-signed for 2015. Not seen this officially yet though.

| Gone a bit quiet on the transfer front.
Would still like to see a couple more decent forwards with a bit of experience.
