no matter how good the full back is i think that a reserve is needed for the full back role and if shad is going back home then we will need someone for cover.

And at 13. Shad is one of the best support players in this division and is a sniffer of a try-scorer.

Agreed. He is the kind of player that you find room for in your team no matter what. He will take some replacing and to be honest I don't see a staright replacement for him. There is a while before the end of the season and time to change his mind, but after the service he has given us then I would support him in whatever is best for him.
He is a cracking lad on and off the field.


And I just read my post back and it sounds a bit gay. Sorry

Anyway ................

I think Dwayne Barker plays half as good as Shad. So, we may have "half" a replacement at least.

Agreed, I reckon Barker is yet to show his best ability for us.

I wouldn't be surprised if Paterson begins to play in this position, seems confident under the high ball

Not whilst Miles is here i wouldn't have thought. He does seem very good under the high ball though, remember the catch he took in the first half at cas? he was almost like a football goalkeeper.

The way Miles has been playing this season there's a good chance he could be snapped up by a superdooper league club next year. He is still quite young and lets face it Fulha oh sorry London Crus oops erm Bronc no thats not right er oh yer Harlequins did sign Nanyn last year.

We got him at Leigh, from Saints. So, his potential was obviously apparent, a few years ago. he came on, during his season at Leigh, but has obviously progressed further, now. A good player.

Don't think he ever will really, a bit of a flop in my opinion.

Morts not that good, everyone seems to be creaming over him.
