Pack for next season : Wed Aug 08, 2012 10:23 am  

How is it going to look?

This season it has been rolled over far too easy this season...Huby aside (and maybe Walker if he ever stays injury free) doesn't worry the rest of the league.

Ok we may be getting Hauraki but we could certainly do with a couple of rough house forwards, it was unfortunate we lost out on Con Mika last season as he would of been very useful for us.

I think the likes of Massey and Nash are absolute tosh, we need much better forwards next season

Re: Pack for next season : Wed Aug 08, 2012 2:41 pm  

Props - Huby, Massey, Walker, Millington, Emmitt
Second Row - Thompson, Holmes, Gilmour, Hauraki(?)
Loose - New Signing(?)

think we need another prop IMO, one who can actually make yards

Bit harsh on Massey - in all honesty I never thought he'd look anything like a player, but over the last 12months I've been really impressed - very hard-working, attracts defenders, a potential off-load game.

As for Loose-Forward, I'd look no further than Thompson - done well this year but looked devastating at the end of last season when used in the pack.

Props: Walker, Massey, Emmitt, Millington, Huby, Nash, Martin, Fleming (and Basil is targeting another)
SR: Thompson, Holmes, Gilmour, Hauraki (?)

I suspect, however, we'll see Emmitt at loose and Millington moving into Second Row like this season. So something like this:

Huby
Clark
Massey
Millington
Holmes
Emmitt


Thompson
Milner
Walker
New Prop

if we must insist on playing a prop at loose forward do we really have to play our least mobile one there?? would much rather have millington there

Re: Pack for next season : Thu Aug 09, 2012 10:27 am  

Doesn't really play as loose forward though, does he? Just shoehorns a third prop into the side at the expense of a loose forward. See also Leeds naming Ryan Bailey at 13 in recent months.

We desperatly need at least 2 new forwards especially after todays game....i really hope we don't give a new contract to Snitch

Thought Kaufosi scared the hell out of our lot today...as i said we need some rugged forwards.
