Of the games I saw them play together this season, Penny spent most of his defensive time wondering how the hell his centre had left him facing another 3 v 1 overlap running at him... |

For me I think he's a questionable signing at best. I'd give our young lads
(Cooper/McCarthy/Harrison) a start before him. |

Don't disagree but King always looked at home with Riley outside him.
Probably because all the blokes to the right of them were doing a better job than they were earlier in the season. |

May'be it was because when King and Penny were playing on the same side, we were losing every week and King was drained of confidence! He has been a completely different animal the second half of the year.
Given the right pre-season (more for Penny than King) the right leadership could turn them into threatening attacking force we all anticipated when we signed King.
Definately worth a go in my opinion because Penny is a try machine! |

| Quote ="RuDeY"
But i must admit i liked a post also saying that Riley should be given the wing spot and make Atkins work for it. Its true that just because he is a new signing he will walk into the team. Riley had a great season last year and i think the more games that riley gets the better winger he is going to turn into!
RuDeY'"
So shouldn't Riley have to work for his place in the team or is it only new signings who have to, the others get given a spot. How about see who looks in best shape during the pre-season? |

This will be the first season for a long while where we will have genuine cover for positions with the exception of Props.
Mine would be
Mathers
Hicks
Bridge
Atkins
King
Briers
Myler
Morley
Monaghan
Carvell
Louis
Westwood
Solomona
Higham
Wood
Harrison
Cooper
Our back up players of Clarke, Grix, Riley, Vinnie would all have been first choice players only last season. With Penny, Blythe, McCarthy and Mitchell all making first team appearances.
Given that we also have one of the best coaches in the business, coupled with a first class stadium and a backer who has both the financial clout and a passion for the club we have every reason to feel good about next year.

No sally they should all have to work for their place in the squad but after the way the lad played last year, then he should not just be dropped because we have brought a new player in that is what i mean. |

Riley wasn't that great last year, hardly nailed on for a place, he made alot of high proflie mistakes that cost us but is exempt from getting slated on here. |

That is my point; both of them are guilty of this so putting them together would be suicide. We have seen it enough not to want to go there again! |

I agree with you Mark, it was Matt Kings Cat I was disagreeing with. Left side defence with the two of them there was non-existent on a regular basis |

Atkins defence not entirely up to scratch yet, so on that basis i'd start the season with King at centre. Brigde is undoubtedly a talent, but like so many Wire centres he just doesn't know when to pass the ball! Give Gleeson as much gip as you want but he always knew when to release the winger.
Much of my team is similar/same as the rest. No doubt injuries etc will influence the selection. Just good to see the depth of squad we have.

This would be mine guys, decided on Vinnie for the last bench spot for his versatility, he can play Stand Off, Centre, Second Row or Loose, perfect cover for unexpected injuries during a game
