Robbie Paul is on a two year contract

He's a good player, I think a few SL clubs will be looking at him mate. I agree we need to bring youth in Ste, just we need some established players too. 18 or 19 seasoned players backed up by 7 or 8 talented young players would be about right. What do you reckon?

Good!!! I still think he's a tremendous asset. If packs in RL get battered halfbacks struggle, then backs don't get the ball. It's not Robbie and Riddys fault for last night.

i agree with you, need a few players that have the experience (last night paul was bobbins) but hes the sort of guy that can help the young lads , he's also the face everybody knows!!.

all we really need is a set of backs with pace, maden this year has been great but lacks in pace, alsteads been quiet hasnt even thrown many punches ! nannyn needs to start throwin his weight about and we'll be great.

yesterday our forwards were suprisingly shocking and we didnt have much go forward , doesnt help when some of the balls thrown to them left them ready to be smashed

My mate was saying that he'd never seen so many hospital passes in a game before.

ridyard did have a mare in defence , as did robbie ! i still would play them all year , stick jock at 9 and interchange him with duffs who i think makes a massive impact from the bench

Agree mate. We missed Duffy a lot last night.

It was obvious Riddy and Robbie were not fit,maybe a couple of others to, we paid the price,very hard to take ,butlife goes on ,role on Keighley next week,i stillthink we can get to the Grand Final,playing like we did against Fev in the NRC,and its stillthe same squad.

ive just said exactly the same in a diff thread!

What about Nanyn getting a go at loose forward.....IMO he aint got the speed for centre?

Nanyn at loose ?

Oh he is not just a scoring machine he is one of our best defensive players ? No way.

Yeah, keep Nanyn at left centre. LF is a problem position for us in my opinion. I actually like Armitstead, but he's not a LF.

McCarthy is the only loose we have, thats why its vital we have duffy at 9. The gamble card is Duffy at loose to play McConnell, but he needs to straighten play up to stop the defence first.

It's a thought. At worst it's a decent backup plan.

Thats wot I`m saying....we dont have the duel lads every week so we need other options to cover....like Higson to FB (played all his junior rugby in this position and will return the ball very well), this will cover Donlan.
