Interesting that his game improved more in a few weeks working with the fukwit cullen than it has done in a year and a half under our esteemed coach

its also interesting that he has played left centre and looked good rather than full back, wing or right centre

This is it, craig is a left side centre. Tbh I'd move yeaman to accomodate him.

totally agree. Craig is our best strike back and needs to play left centre. Let yeamo and briscoe fight for the right centre shirt

I'd actually have Briscoe and Hall as the starting centres, with Hall paired with raynor, briscoe with calderwood. Yeaman would have to earn his spot back and learn to pass to his winger. As regards out esteemed coach, will be interesting to see the look of Fitzgibbons face as he tries to fathom the tactics devised by the mental midget.

I tend to agree, but then look back to 2006 when Yeamo would have finished top try scorer in SL if it hadn't been for injury as he had a creative half back to play outside of. If Long can create opportunities, hopefully Yeaman can rediscover that sort of form.

2011 do we see....

As do I.

We have Dowes, Cusack, Lauaki and O'Meley to play prop if Moa signs Dowes as cover for me. Hope Moa signs.

If the worst case scenario happens and Moa leaves, we will only have four recognised props in Cusack, Dowes, O'Meley and Lauaki (forgetting the SR argument for now).

Surely this isn't enough and we would have to look for a British one anyway ??

I realise that Fitzgibbon or Radford COULD play there but that, for me, would be madness. Fitz is a world renowned SR and Radford offers nothing in attack or go-forward.

So if we were to lose O'Meley or Lauaki (or both

) where does our go-forward come from Mr Agar ???

Absolutely agree we will only have four if sam goes and why look for another one when we have Sam whos young + loves it here .Keep the tongan mafia together !

Who'd play 13 if Radders moved up to prop as cover?

Radford shouldn't be at 13. Washbrook should be. I'd use Radfird as cover for prop/SR.

We don't even need radford any more.

I'd keep him, but he's well down the pecking order. He's decent cover for the forwards, which is good considering our injuries the past few years.

2nd rowers/ LF's - Fitz, Manu, Tickle, Burnett, Washbrook, Whiting, Turner. Do we really need Radders as well?

How did he play this previous week? I only caught glimpses on the highlights.

i didnt go to the game but league express had him as second top player in the game, according to their medal points system

Yes, but the league express also have Michael Dobson down as player of the year in their points system and we all know how average he is....

Wouldn't be surprised to see Yeaman play more in the back row as some of the youngsters progress. Both Hall and Briscoe have better ball skills than Yeaman. Don't understand the anti-Radford rants and I think we'll see better when the captaincy is relieved from him.

You said it...

Looked at fault for two tries.

1 - 5: Tansey, Calderwood, Raynor, Tuffour, T. Briscoe, Hall, Yeaman, J.Briscoe.

6 & 7: Horne, Long, Turner.

Hooker: Berrigan, Hougton.

Prop: O'Meley, Cussack, Dowes, Lauaki, Radford.

2nd Row: Manu, Tickle, Fitzgibbon, Burnett.

Loose: Washbrook, Whiting.

Looking at that, I don't think we need Moa as much as we need a top quality back, of which no Fed Trained ones are available that I know of. We've been crying out for a centre since Ritchie Barnett Snr, and I dont think Hall and Briscoe are really just yet to help us challenge.

IMO we shouldn't be using a quota spot for the next two seasons on what will be a 5th choice prop. If he was fed trained, I'd be happy to sign him, but we've got to use the overseas quota wisely.

I'd agree - Dobson has been fantastic for Rovers.

Who posted the comment earlier this year on here about a Rovers supporter at the KC Derby shouting out that Dobson was their saviour and a wag in the crowd responded "no he isn't, he's a very naughty boy!"? lmao
