seth, I'LL eat your left nut if Gannon turns into a regular quality half back!!!

Re: St Helens Home. : Thu May 25, 2023 2:14 pm  

He just has a lot of development to do still as a back row let alone a half. I think he needs to consolidate those skills right now otherwise it could be detrimental to his future in the game.

I've stopped watching the RS interviews. He says nothing of any consequence and is so guarded in his plans that there seems like very little point listening to him at all

Re: St Helens Home. : Thu May 25, 2023 2:56 pm  

The MG at halfback trial isn't really about him being a viable halfback option, it's about improving his handling so he becomes a Worldie in every aspect of back row play.

It is about the fact we are desperate

I hope that is the plan though RS intimated something a bit different.

I’d probably lineup

Hooley
Nene
Newman
Martin
Handley
Myler
Sezer
Holroyd
O’Connor
Oledzki
McDonnell
Gannon
Smith

Johnson
Sangare
Walters
Donaldson

I can see Tindall/Olpherts getting a spot on the wing and Handley at full back. I just think we’ve seen enough of Olpherts to know where he’s at and Tindall is leaving anyway. Hooley currently still an unknown quantity at this level.

That's how id go too.

You can have the right one for desert too if Leeds Utd stay up.

Christ if Leeds pull off that miracle I'll start talking to the wife....

Re: St Helens Home. : Thu May 25, 2023 5:06 pm  

Hooley and Ruan are in the reserves.

So it’s either handley at fullback or Gannon in the halves
