Saints will win very very easily. Unfortunately our injuries are crippling

Will be interested to see how the pack go though. I'd to get a look at King as well. Thought Donaldson's 25 mins against Cas was very mediocre. By rights somebody else should get a shot, but I do wonder if Donaldson is a bit of a security blanket for Agar. Very intrigued to see what Eastmond still has, but it would very unfair to expect too much on his debut.

We're gonna get a good beating in our next two games.
The Hull Kr game then becomes massive as you can't play catch up in this league.....

Yes the pack is looking alright, missing one or two finishing touches but basically strong.

Tindall and Handley have some pace but we could definitely do with more gas. Eastmond isn’t the answer there either, I’m thinking more late-career Danny McGuire.

Walker, Tindall, Newman, Broadbent, Handley with Eastmond and Gale within a year or two looks good to me. In fact there is a load of strike there in offence.

Don't count out Hall - whilst he is physically not up to SL he has a lot of skill - I see Broadbent as Sculthorpe/Farrell type back row.

I can't Broadbent is no way big enough for that role and would never be able play it like Sculthorpe and Farrell who both very physical at 6ft3 6ft 4.Broadbent is 6ft at the most. If he was to play the 13 role it would be more in a Sinfield tpye role. I see him as classic centre great hand and vision with a nice step on him.

Broadbent would do well to watch some Brad Godden video footage, and Leeds would do well to let him play like that.

If its that simple can he watch Mal Meninga videos instead please Batley? Lol

Let Jack develop at his own pace and weve a good one there. Ive said for years Newman is the superstar, the athlete and as tough a competitor as you will see but Jack, like Godden, is a proper wingers centre. Both very young and very talented but both are going to have dips along the way.

God i hope Newman can come back from this injury. Im sure he will.

Re: CC RD 3 | St Helens (A) : Sun Apr 04, 2021 9:31 am  

Second all of that. Both got the potential to be super players. Would love to see us get a top class winger to compliment them. Think Handley is almost there.
