I don't like the thought of Josh Jones playing inside Swift. Will Swift get a pass ? Josh doesn't like to pass.

He'll get more ball from Percival and Jones' strong defence suits him playing second row.

Percival might already be a write off. Does he really have the build to play anywhere other than fullback and halfback in Super League? Classy with the ball for sure, but he couldn't hold on to a wet hamster, let alone a flying Francis Meli.

Sure he can hit the gym, eat McDonalds and drink Maximuscle till the cows come home, but he's just not naturally got it.

I expect you're right again, just like you were about the Club having no ambition.

If Rob burrow can tackle then Percival will be fine!

Rob Burrow has been knocked out cold a couple of times though. I think Percival will be fine in a year or so size wise.

His defence was very good when he first came in. He just isn't physically ready yet.

Think one of his first games was against Leeds where he seemed to handle Ablett OK during the match. Physically he is similar to when Connolly first started out.

Leeds was his first game and he took care of Albett all night and Albett was in top form at the time.

Rob Burrow wouldn't play centre. I'm not saying Percival is too small to play rugby league, just that he looks to me to be the wrong body shape for a centre. He'll get away with it in the Academy as the majority of the players are sparrow legged runts, particularly the backs. But in Super League I think he'll get the rough end of things if he's defending at centre. With the other missed tackle wonder on the other side (I'll admit he's looking better recently) it would be mighty risky to have both potential turnstiles in the same defensive line. Could he defend on the wing for a season? Could we get some roids into him by pretending he's off at Uni perhaps?

Well nice to see the positivity lasted all of 24 hours.
