Sounds like when Max went off we really struggled.
Full back is an issue.

Went off apparently with a tight achilles.

Seriously need proper cover there

No we don’t if Powell says we don’t, I think the guy knows his stuff don’t you?

He does.

Today was clear to see though, after he went off. Were you there today.

I don't appear to be alone in what I saw.

I haven't heard him say we don't need cover there.

But it's a reasonable test in a friendly to take good players off to see how the team can cover.
Franco was certainly weaker but with more time he can be good enough for Championship.

While I think Franco was solid on the wing it’s the second time I’ve seen him at full back and I’ll be happy not to see him play there again. He’s exclusively a winger on what I have seen which is unfortunate but at least he will step in and do a solid job on the wing if needed.

Daniel Hill is a full back and has been released by St.Helens but one thing that isn’t predictable is the Trinity signings and it’s probably more likely that Walmsley will become cover for Jowitt at full back than Franco…

I hope not. We lost way too much on the edge when Walmsley was moved to full back. Walmsley would be the last player I’d use as full back cover in the backs.

I missed that. I thought I just saw Franco at full back after Jowitt went off.

Me too, though Walmsley went off pretty quick after anyway.
