If Charnock can't get a game under The Tinkerman, he never will.

I seem to recall Brown saying Charnock "wasn't ready" at the start of the year - I can only assume the plan is for him to take up the lock role ...

In terms of Wello "offering little in attack" I think this relates to the style of game he plays. He is the support up the middle type of full back of 10 years ago. The game has changed, predominantly by Billy Slater, where they are now more of an attacking fringe player with the skills of a half back. That is where Wello struggles slightly. When a split second quick pass selection is needed out wide, he tends to dummy and go himself rather than shifting the ball to create a try.

With every work shy pack performance I get more and more irritated that we sent Clough out on loan. He'd certainly be in the side at present.

Charnock would be an interesting call, he's played a fair bit of rugby at #1 (I believe).
As Carlos states, though, given how he's managed to avoid being involved given our deficiancies at#6, he's unlikely to get a start now.

I would not play Wellens at #1. it may be the best short term fix, but we're already looking up against it to seriously contend bringing home the SL trophy. Better to give a young lad a chance and try and play some expansive rugby, which Wellens stunts.

Charnock and Wheeler could both player either 1 or 6, with Lance filling the other position.

I think swift could be a very interesting fullback, but Makinson isn't a bad option obviously Dawson can also play wing, but we also have a promising youngster in Galbraith (isn't it?) who has a very good try scoring record for the under-whatevers.

I don't think clough would make the blind bit of difference in this pack. He's another that needs to be In a pack which is dominating teams.

Clough isn't good enough but I'd 1000000000000% take him over Mose.

Yep and I'd have him over LMS but he's pretty much like LMS, they are great when we are thumping teams but might as well not be on the field when the going gets tough.

to be honest mate a completely disagree with that. Clough is good but not great when we're flying or getting hammered. He's the definition of consistant

He's not good enough but saying that, I'd only keep Amor and Walmsley from our props. (Not including the young props in that)
