I think thats a fairly dated view, yes players have a preference but most S/Rs can play both sides these days, the games far less structured than it was. Also, Crowther can play SR as can Arundel, in fact that looks to be the way CC is sending him. That's five good SR's. Have we actually signed Westerman, last I heard he was Cas bound?

No Ashurst?

Well I am dated but we'll have to disagree there.
Kirmond coming back into that role proved it for me.

The only player I've seen be just as effective when switched is Arundal.
I don't see Crowther as a second row and Arundal, as much as I like him made the left edge defense really weak when put there.

Left side is more attack minded too. Right is more defense focused.
They of course have to do both but you get more attack down the left. Every team is the same. That's why Lyne and Kirmond are so valuable being good defenders (Lyne did a monster of work on Friday missing no tackles) but can attack too.

Mentiond him, ashurst to come back if fully fit.

Sorry only read the 17 bit

No worries, also forgot to include Koppy who would be in the 1st 17. So I'd be looking at a prop and cover for halves.

Not what I got told, you’re a million miles off if what I heard was true, who knows it’s a bit of a saga now.

Says in the YP article that he is still trying for a contract at Belle Vue.

Just reading Trinity Heritage stats for the season.

We used 36 players this year, with 11 debutants (+3 more on their second debut).
Don't tell me the injuries didn't take a toll on the team.

I'm always skeptical of negative 1st posts from week old accounts.
Hey, we all gotta start somewhere but in my experience 99% of these accounts are made to do one thing and one thing only.
Happy to be proved wrong though...

I was told this by a former Trinity player, and by the way I have to start somewhere

If I remember rightly we were alleged to have Josh Wood signed up from Salford which would make sense if we are letting Randell go back to Aus.

Also Pitts has definitely signed. He will be a good addition and is a real work horse and team player. A good replacement for Kirmond.

I'd like to see the bulk of any available money go on a top quality half back. I know we have Brough and Miller signed up for next year but we have no other option for half and we can't rely on both to be injury free and in form. Although, Connor Bailey has looked like he might be on the cusp of being able to step in the first team this season as back up.

Not sure it needs to be a half back, a creative no 9 would be just as good though we’d have to change our style. We’d need to support the ball carrier far more than we do for a 9 to prosper, a real weakness in our game imo. However if we did so we’d be less dependant on getting it out to the flanks and thus be varied in attack and leaving Brough less exposed. Easier said than done.

Shame with Randall, had he been less injury prone I think he could have developed that role.

So Randell leaving is 100% then?
Shame as you say if so and hooker is number 1 priority then because no way should Wood do 80 minutes every week, he'll end up killing himself

Chester said he's going back to Oz.

So how would Hampshire go at hooker?

He wont do thow will he! We have signed a hooker from Salford josh wood i think his name is.

Well lets hope he gets one ! His 2 tries friday night probably kept us in super league , The kid is like a stick of rock he's got wakefield running straight through him and when you look back on the money we wasted this year on a big lump of lard in pauli pauli surely his contract demands must be justified.

From League Express twitter:

'WHAT'S INSIDE LEAGUE EXPRESS

They secured Super League survival on Friday - and Wakefield are already planning for 2020.

We'll tell you which out-of-contract favourite is set to agree terms on a new deal to stay at the club!'

Lets hope its Rocky

Nope not unless we up our offer

I think the article is about Danny Kirmond

We can only hope that commonsense prevails

Rocky reminds me of Grix because they can play a number of positions. Which didn’t do Grix a lot of good in the end.
