Clearly you do even though he has only played 1 game thus far this year.

I think he will be a very good player for us but i think he needs to be used as a 7.

[quote="Mother Feka"]:shock:

Phelps - Waste of a quota spot - better on the wing imo.

He's better out of the team. He contribute much and he plays ahead Karl Pryce (although not full fit) and sometimes Goulding.

FB: Richards - I also want him to move up into the line to take the long kicks, Smith doesn't have the power, he spins it too much.

RW: Phelps - I want him to prove himself as a usefull player, plus he is no Centre.
RC: Goulding - Tell him to run a line that isnt towards touch, draw the players then pass. Rocket science.
LC: Carmont - No justification required
LW: Roberts - I want to see what he can achieve with decent service. Also needs to sprint not jog, especially going backwards.

SO: Tim Smith - Don't get too cocky, save kicks for near the line, pass more like the bullets you know you can do. We have all seen them, and could be a really good way to use the overlap that we rarely do.
SH: Thomas Leuluai - No justification required

OP: Fielden - Lean forward a bit more, run with a bith more speed, if you are ony going to be played for shorter periods, put a little bit more in on the charge
HK: Piggy - Make sure the forwards have a tiny bit more distance from you, dont bunch and force dodgy angles.
BP: O'Carrol - Great, same again

SR: Hansen - If this guy is defending, we will not be as exposed at the begining, seems a bit bigger this year, use it in attack, get more angry
SR: Joel Tomkins - No justification required
LF: O'Loughlin - Carry on, get some distance from the centres if you plan to pass to them, do not bunch.

Sub: Feka - Impact, good man for not killing Demetriou
Sub: Hock - Impact, less offloads, unless Sam is on the field, he should be hanging around Hock to take them and cut the defence
Sub: Prescott - If available
Sub: Sam Tomkins - Give him a chance, Lockers is not a 6. Ever

Thats how i would go next week, on a basic general advice level

Only 4 brits in your run on team and only 2 local guys.
Wigan is the beating heart of junior RL yet you don't seem to bring them through, preferring instead to sign "big name" Aussies.
You have some real talent in Goulding, the Tomkins brothers, Prescott etc - get them on the pitch!
