I don’t mind getting shot at, so here goes. Logan Moy has been good at the back, his height in the modern game will disadvantage him, especially with good rangy centres/wingers attacking him from above.
Try him in the halves he’s proved he’s durable quick and can pass, take Morgan Smith out, Litten or Walker to full back and use these last three meaningless games to look at it.

Lewis Martin outstanding on the wing, just a yard away from being a flyer, I think with our problems at centre and the signing of Rapana, Lewis as with Moy would benefit from an experimental position change, Lewis along with the tremendous knowledge Rapana brings would be a good partnership, and instead of cobbling Tom in the centres for numbers sake, an opportunity to look at future possibilities of Lewis in the centre, who looks to break tackles regularly, looks a prospect in a struggling team.

Big shout out to Herman and Ashworth,who have both been excellent this term and at least these two have come good in amongst our terrible recruitment.

Moy reminds me of a headless chicken. Runs around with seemingly no real purpose. Way, way behind walker, who is injured BTW along with Litten

Rapana has never played centre. Why would we suddenly play him there at 36?

Not a big fan of ashcroft myself, whoever he may be

He has a plumbing business in Warrington and lives locally.

The journey to Huddersfield is commutable daily, but driving to Hull each day wouldn`t work out.

Up the mighty Ashcroft.

Litten gone for season so won't happen. Be silly playing Moy in the halves, would get targeted in D like Charles has.

Walker has ticked boxes to play. Should start at 1 for me against Leeds.

The main thing is to improve the robustness of the squad and get value for money, so signing Hardraker and Chamberlain to replace Sutcliffe and Scott makes sense.

Although Seizer has missed a few ganes, the last 3 seasons he has played 55 games, whilst Trueman has played 44.

Rapana has played over 20 games just about every season. Same with Asista apart from this year.

When was the last time we signed a captain and recent dream team player along with 2 players from the NRL who are first choice players.

Hopefully a new backroom team wi help this also and keep the likes of Abdul fitter, which he has shown he can do at London amd his first few seasons at Rovers, we're he was in MOS contention and playing internationally.
if this is our starting lineup first game, I can't see how anyone can say it is well ahead of this seasons side and that's without any coaching impact.

Rapana is just the type of character we need. The Canberra fans without exception love him. He is described as a legend the heart and soul of the club and they are desperately disappointed he's leaving. He will bring many qualities but the fact is he's not a centre. He has only played there a handful of times during his career and not since 2021. He's a winger but can play fullback as he has done this season.

Walker starting at fullback and a specialist centre would surely have been the better option. The fact that Dan didn't include him in the starting 17 for next season suggests he's leaving.

Then there's the Cust playing hooker puzzle.

we were actually looking like a team who had a bit of direction with reynolds, trueman and walker in the team. Now we look a shambles

Important to point out with Moy is that he has only been playing at Full Back for a couple seasons, he was predominantly a Hooker prior to then.

His height doesn't worry me too much, he is pretty solid under a high ball and that will only get better.

The obvious worry for Moy is he is really light, another youngster who will benefit from spending a lot of time in the gym over pre season.

His running game will improve with guidance and time, having someone like Rapana will really help in improving this.

He has but only a few times, he has never really played fullback, but transitions there a couple of years ago atv33. He could easily play anywhere across the backline in SL.

Moy has to work to do but with tome amd some good coaching could be an excellent SL player
