Kriss Brinning : Thu May 12, 2016 1:33 pm  

http://m.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/14482999 ... er_League/ Seems this is the replacement for Tomkins next year. Hopefuly if all rumours are true playing behind a pack of Burgess, Gallen and Kopzcak could be our answer to the top 4.

If you sign Kriss you have one hell of a player who knows where the try line is.

I would presume that if we sign this guy it spells the end for Tompkins and Lee for next year. Would be really happy to have 3 young dynamic hookers in Brinning,wood and Wilkinson who can put the team on the front foot.

Tomkins is on a 1 year deal I think, not sure when Lee's runs out. I wonder if Lee might be kept on. He's highly though of by Watson and Sheens and has been central to our attacking structures and our top tackler before injury
Will be a big step up for Brinning, Wilkinson yet to make his debut and Wood only just getting going. Will need some experience to help bring them through

Could be making his debut earlier than though. Might be Magic weekend but most likely Wakefield at home.

Re: Kriss Brinning : Fri May 13, 2016 8:35 pm  

I for one would not feel Lee is a loss, he is guaranteed a long injury each year due to his age. I personally don't want a tackling machine at acting half. I want a 9 who can scoot and worry defences, Lee cannot do this. He maybe a leader but let's buy some and surround our kids with them!

Re: Kriss Brinning : Fri May 13, 2016 9:23 pm  

Looking at tonight we do realy miss a good hooker to get us on the front foot. Tomkins does well to set up plays etc but he's just too slow. Putting a lot on Brinning to provide us this.

Re: Kriss Brinning : Sat May 14, 2016 10:24 am  

I like Lee, he's done far better than I thought he would, but totally agree 9 is such a pivotal position we need someone with zip.
I still think there is a place for Lee in the squad though, he has something to offer p

Quite impressed with the first impressions of this Yorkshire kid, I'd keep Tommy Lee for obvious reasons sharing equal game time with the hope of Brinning phasing out Tommy within time, then Josh Wood coming in to share the role with Brinning in due course. Sack the route of buying NRL superstars, there's the odd gem knocking about the lower leagues if they're intricately scouted properly...

Re: Kriss Brinning : Sat May 14, 2016 3:22 pm  

Lee is only 28 & can play 6,9 & 13 - good in the dressing room and a solid individual. Surely Certain to be retained.
