Halfbacks : Sat Mar 07, 2015 9:49 am  

For a number of years now you've always seemed to be short at halfback. Wilkin and Wellens playing last night, do you have any up and coming youngsters that could take the rein?

(Doesn't seem to be doing you any harm as you won last year!!!!!)

We've produced a few halfbacks tbh. Matty smith, kyle Eastmomd, jonny lomax (now playing fullback), lee Gaskell, Garry wheeler and Even Scott Moore who was brought thru as a half.

Just didn't work out for one reason or another.

As Pete says we have produced a few but we do always seem to be a little light. Latest youngster is called Hewitt but he wasnt deemed to be ready last year and Cunningham has chosen to play a 35 year old former fullback infront of him so far this year so I guess he still isnt ready (maybe never will be)

Wellens has been out since the beginning of the season.

Upon arrival he scores his 199th(?) try with some top play.
He then pulls off a miracle defensive in-goal save which is right up there with KC running down Smith.

And by the looks of it, Wellens will be holding his fullback role for another season, as Lomax challenges Wheeler for the biggest biscuit award...
