On converting one of the current guys to 13, even though I'd be a bit hesitant about moving 2 of our best props, I've always thought Rodwell would make a good 13, I know he's played there and done well, so not much of a change. I also think Stourton plays very similar to Pitts, the same hard-working, hard-tackling, always plays-at-a-high standard kind of player. It's hard to move your best players into other positions or bring someone in. As said it depends on who's out there

As for backrowers, I don't think we're exactly desperate for anyone, we've got 9 guys who can play there atm but I think a lot will depend on how Croft develops this year. We have Big Mike who plays there when needed, Vagana who's starting to show how good he's gonna be, Seth, Stourton & Griff. We then have guys like Cam Scott and Hall who can play there like Croft, Cam especially is a good back-rower, plus also young Stavely-Carr coming through. If Griff does go at the end of the season & we do need another who's a similar quality to the main 3, that's where either Croft comes in, or we look for someone else, we'll see.


The other thing looking to next season is quota spots, to get Smoothy in. We're going to have to move someone on, the obvious one is Walmsley imo. So a decent wing option is someone we may be looking out for. Saying all that I know DP rates Jayden Myers very highly and he'll be another year older, so maybe that's how they're thinking. 

Hopefully moving Trueman on Do not think Mr Ellis will be to happy about the situation at present ,and did say we will move any player on to replace with a better player if it is what Mr Powell wants .

I don’t think this is a case of being better. Trueman is clearly a high class player. 

There aren’t any indications from the club Trueman will be moving on. In fact quite the opposite with them confident they can resolve the issue. 


It appears fans are wanting us to pay him out of a 3 year contract which sounds ludicrous in my eyes. Some of the comments about Trueman have been in poor taste in my eyes. 


If it’s determined that medically he isn’t fit to play due to a chronic injury I think that’s when we would see movement. That isn’t the case presently and I would hope trinity fans would be more supportive of someone struggling with a back injury. They aren’t nice even without playing rugby. 

I agree.


There certainly aren't many better around.
I'm firmly in the camp of trying to rehabilitate him rather than bin him.

My biggest concern is for the lad himself. Too many sportsmen push their bodies too far and suffer for it in later years, I just hope his issues can be resolved and he can continue to play without causing issues later on. If not, I hope he's not just cut adrift and discarded like a worn out appliance but is helped to adjust to the next stage of his life.

Could understand this, we should be more supportive of a player with a back injury if he had played for us on the pitch for a year or two ,but he had a operation on is back at Castleford  ,Played less than half the matches at Hull .in over 2 year Hull let him go with a year left  on his contract ,Know we let him go back on lone ,but do not think he played for them again  .He as been a bad signing and fans keep telling me he is class, how do you come to that decision when he as played 5 games for us ..Once any player as to start having injections in is back it is bad news .He can kick a ball ,but think every 6 in S L can do that .That does not make him class .My main worry is he could go out on the pitch, and get a bad knock on back that could do a lot of damage Why as a club should we have that responsibility when we are heading in the right decision big time
