He will be in the 17 as Smc thinks he can cover positions in both the forwards and backs, i blow hot and cold with littler i feel we need a better quality of strike centre to move on he isnt a 2nd row, he is all effort but i want that bit of class with age he has lost that 1/2 yard that makes all the difference but the stats dont lie im sure he was 3rd top metre maker last season, he might have lost a yard but he's gained 2 in his head which is a real strainge thing to say about littler but he uses his head more with age so these days he's more of a plodder than a flyier

Well on the Super League website the top meter four are listed as Cashmere, LULU, Wilshire and Swain. Would agree with you that he shouldn't be covering the forwards though, as we have far better backrow forwards to pick from. When they have been fit we've generally had better centres too.

i stand corrected

, he's consistant n rarely injured that could be a reason he is in the 17 all the time

He has been high up in the past, but like you said in earlier post, he's starting to lose a yard of pace now. I've been openly critical of littler in the past, the problem now is that he's been such a loyal servant to the club you just can't leave him out. The club really has to move on though! Two more skillful and quicker centres are needed. We don't seem to have a great deal of luck keeping centres fit, McGuinness, Moule and now Talau. So I think he'll get his chance, just not in the pack.

Didn't realise you were picking the team this year.

Yeah me and shaun are close he rings me regular asking my advice unpaid like , he is looking for a assistant tho, get on the payroll, free tickets for you back in employment, how u fixed GT

?

From a neutral view :

1 Fitzpatrick
2 Gibson (Broughton if he signs)
3 Henry
4 Talau
5 McGilvray
6 J. Smith
7 Ratchford

8 Cashmere
9 Alker
10 Parker
11 Adamson
12 Swain
13 Holdsworth

14 M. Smith
15 Sidlow
16 Leuluai
17 Boyle

Reckon you need another prop, then Parker to second row, then Adamson on bench in place of Sidlow.

Most people will agree with you that we need another prop. Adamson on the other hand should be one of the first names on the team sheet!!

You almost convinced me that you knew what you were talking about ... until you posted the above.

To be fair I havnt seen this Adamson play much, but you lot seem to rate him highly so maybe Parker on bench ?
