Nothing has changed in back row department. Need a Michael Smith style big unit to add power and offloads.this has been the case for 4 or 5 season although Con Mika could have been the answer if he had bothered to try

When you look at the team now it looks like a back up team when we have injures for the last couple of years we have not had back up and had to use our good players out of position but maybe now we have the back up

How many quota places do we have to play with in the championship?

Same as SL we have 5 left I think

I thought it was less for some reason, you would of thought one would be used on a half back.... Can't remember where I read about Quinlan and Hastings but I can't see them coming

You get 7 non federation players, not even sure the quota is in place anymore.

Although England were cackamalla, I thought Danny Addy had a half decent game for Scotland against England earlier imo. Some flashes of creativity and half decent in defence. He didn't look out of place that's for sure.

Anybody disagree?

Did Scott Taylor play?

Class player Addy maybe why he's just signed a deal with a championship side. For one of the best coaches in the world, again at a championship side.

taylor got beasted by a centre first carry and dropped the flippin ball ginger juggler not good enough t play in a champion team so signed for the sharks

Thought he was better than Brough today, not that says much he was awful.

Taylor did play, watch the bits were Scotland were on top, he was on then.

Tbh Addy looked very busy in the first half and didn't shy away when it came to tackling . didn't seem to pack much punch if I'm being honest though !!

OK I'll nibble on the Taylor bait . IMHO I think he's done enough to keep his place in the 17 at the expense of Cooper .
Williams and widdup at 6+7
Bateman back in for Farrell for me ,not that it will matter as I dry bumming is on the cards I'd imagine

That you've used it twice might suggest that the entry level rhetorical trick that is the circular argument is a new and exciting discovery for you.



Sheens will be judged at Hull KR on the results his team delivers. He's got the pedigree and experience that his immediate predecessors lacked, which is encouraging and reassuring. Addy offers versatility and by championship standards (which are those it is most sensible for us to judge by) decent quality.
That, with the exception of Greenwood, we're seemingly going with a lightweight backrow again, does make me a bit nervous after the last couple of years. Balance or style of play, rather than class.

Edit - are interchanges still going to be reduced for 2017?

I suspect you lost him at "that".

This post made me think that you are the Eric Morecambe to Mild Rover's Ernie Wise.

That would make you Anthea Redfearn.

Hastings isn't realistic but Quinlan could be an option.

I would imagine Tim will have some fringe young Aussie lined up, didn't Quinlan play full back while at saints?

Yeah, full-back at Saints but utility player, sure he plays in the halves as well.

Think I read he's without a club? We need some experience in the halves ideally but bobbys much better in the back row

I like your name.

Why thank you

I have heard from a reliable source that you have signed a young half back from the NRL, who couldn't get game time there due to 2 very experienced players in the pecking order ahead of him.

That would do nicely

My source has also told me that he can also play full back and centre, so could be a useful signing for you guys.

Your squad is coming together nicely.

Hope you get straight back in SL guys, your fans and patties at East Park chippy are great

Hope this is Quinlan
