Dean, Wheeler, Lomax and Meli. Quite a different backline. Far quicker than our 'full strength' one. Wish we could top it up with a new fullback.

we dont need pace everywhere, i'm happy with wello's experience at fb with a bit of pace either side of him (lomax/wheeler)

Re: 19 Named : Fri Mar 05, 2010 4:54 pm  

Pacey, but I'd expect HKR to try and exploit the inexperience there. Wellens will be needed to direct the defensive line.

We definitely need the pack to play well this weekend.

Re: 19 Named : Fri Mar 05, 2010 6:58 pm  

I'd go with :
Wellens
Lomax
Dean
Wheeler
Meli
Pryce
Eastmond
Fozzard
Cunningham
Graham
Puletua
Magennis
Roby

Moore
Clough
Fa'asavalu
Hargreaves

Is Dean quick? I haven't seen enough of him to tell, but I know he played a fair bit in the second row for the reserves.

He's a lot quicker than Matt Gidley. He's no speed merchant but he has the pace to go through if put on the outside of his centre.

i dont rate him one bit

If the club think Dean is an outright centre then I doubt he'll be on the roster once we move to the new stadium. That said, the kid has a huge frame, which, with a stone extra hung off it, gives us a useful (and equally importantly - cheap) squad option for the pack.

What I like about Dean is he refuses to be written off. Sure, he's at best modestly talented - and the likelihood of him breaking any pots in this game is slim. But if anyone thinks they're going to take that squad jersey away from him they'd best come armed with a baseball bat and riot shield. IMO, There's a place in any good team for guts like that - provided they're used correctly.
