Re: Back to Rugby, back to Rocky : Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:13 am  

Starting 7 or 6 for me, he was our best player in 2019, he is the most naturally gifted player we have, he has that bit of class that wins games, creates something out of nothing. He has to start. Brough and Miller on the back of really poor seasons in 2019 to fight it out for the remaining half back spot.

So no one knows if he's played any No.9 in the past?

He's only an emergency 9 for me.

Don't think so, he's played FB, Wing and HB but don't recall hooker.

Cheers, as I said he seems to have the ability to make a cracking hooker imo.

Said by Coach last night got told he would not get number 1 shirt .So rocky picked the number 29 shirt for personal reasons .Coach also said it makes it interesting now for the 6 and 7 spot.Mr Carter said when Rocky left the club there was no animosity between between the club and player as had been reported by some The gap between what is agent wanted and what the club though was too wide .In the end the club and agent did meet in the middle.and they were pleased to have him back

He played Hooker for his first game against Hull KR, in which he scored from dummy half. Didn't look to come natural though and it was off the bench.

It would take a very brave coach to change a players position as completely as the and tbh I can’t see it. The only way it would happen is if both Woods were injured and Ryan wasn’t required elsewhere. Then if he did well then perhaps, who knows it’s very subjective.

There are natural progressions, winger to centre or back row to front row but not so much elsewhere.

I swear blind Jowitt is a 6 but as yet no obvious move in that direction. However with the return of the A teams there is a place to experiment, I really hope CC does.
