If Watts has any sense he'll leave Rovers at the end of his current contract for the NRL, its a no brainer. Also just out of interest what does Lovegrove bring to the table as starting prop??

Honest answer - yes... at least some of them. That said, it is good to see him doing well and I wouldn't be at all averse to seeing him come back. For his own sake though he should go where he'll continue getting a decent amount of game time.

At the minute he is bringing more intertest and physicality (SP) then most and he actually looks to make meters post contact.
Something we are seriously lacking by others in the side.

Don't disagree with that.

I know he's a fans favourite and i am not criticising him, but my point is where best to utilise him. In terms of technical ability he doesn't strike me as a starting prop. For me his play the balls are too slow and more often than not gets controlled in the collision, not really what you want early in the game. He makes the eyecatching yards and indeed averages at least 1 metre per carry more that any of the other props. But in terms of technique Vella, Watts, Wheeldon and Netherton who all find their front pretty well, generally get the team in a position to go forward more effectively. I suppose it all boils down to what you want as a coach, an extra metre per carry? or quicker PTB's. I know which i prefer though i appreciate it is all down to individual opinion.

Either way Rhys has his best years ahead of him and if used effectively he could carve out quite a career for himself.

I would agree with a lot of that TBH.
As you say it all depends when you want the extra meterage.
TBH JM gets a lot of stick about playing players out of position but with Rhys playing at prop he has got it totally correct.

I agree with Gordon aswell and how wheeldon wasnt in the squad on saturday to face hudds is totally baffling to me

spoke to scott before the game, fully fit, did'nt know why he was left out.

If that is the case then i would want to know why our Head Coach isnt giving players a reason for their non-selection.
On the other hand there is a possiblility that the player was informed of the coaches reasons but didnt want to share them with fans/friends. Only speculating.

or the other option that his facial/head injury meant he couldn't remember being told he was dropped!!

TBF i thought Sam Latus did a good job for us on Saturday, took the ball up well and probably made more yards than Mason

latus plays at LF for the u20's.

Thought Dave Peterson was L/F for the 20's?
