Regarding Clough: Read the sig.

Perry I thought was our decent prop when we where going no where in early round against Huddersfield. I also think he adds competition for places which is good and will keep the younger fellas eager to perform.

Walker and Greenwood will only get better by being spelled like Graham was in his early days. Also if Perry plays prop, does that not open up the oppertunity to play Laffranchi in a more appropriate role at SR???

With regards to LMS, I feel he has to start matches, when he comes on half way through he offers less, but as a starter, he's right into the action and seams to respond to that.

option A
LMS Roby Perry Manu Sia Wellens
bench: TP Laffrachie Flanagan Walker

option B
LMS Roby TP Laffranchi Sia Flanagan
bench: Greenwood, Clough, Manu, Wellens

option C
Warmsley Roby Perry Manu Sia Wellens
bench: LMS, TP, Clough, Laffranchi

etc. Keep those props fit, rotated and raring to go

What about option D.......
LMS...Roby.....Perry.....Manu......Sia......Wellens
Bench
Walmsley.....TP.......Laffranchi.......Flanagan

Walmsley and TP to come on together adding size, impact and momentum.
Laffranchi to rest Manu and Sia over the 80 mins
Flanagan to get approx 30 min game time 20 mins for Wellens, 10 mins for Roby.


Agree LMS. Is not an impact prop and neither is Perry, a TP and Walmsley would be a handful against a tiring defence.

I could have gone on, hence the etc....

On paper I'd say option E is possibly our biggest pack, something that maybe needed against the likes of Wigan.

LMS Roby Perry Manu Sia Laffranchi
bench
TP Clough Warmsley Walker

Option F is a more Mobile Pack

LMS Lance Laffranchi Manu Sia Wellens

bench
Flanagan, TP, Warmsley Roby

I think he deserves his chance to get back into the squad. I would let him start a game and i dont mean a meaningless hit out against Salford 2 weeks from now. Stick him in on Good Friday and go tell him to make himself known and get stuck in. He's a big lad, he needs to start acting like one, run your weight with passion and pride not just for yourself but for the club.
If it doesnt work out, take your seat in the stands Josh, thanks for coming.

We've said little about Walker's performance against Wire. He played his part in a tough game. It'll be interesting to see his stats.

For me he,s come in "under the radar", throughout a match I usually pick out a player to watch their game. Must do that with young walker next week, Brown obviously see,s some value to the team.

Walker had good tackling stats against Wire, 33 tackles and 1 missed. Most tackles in the team.

Josh Perry has had horrific luck with injuries granted but even when he has been fit he has been awful and thats being kind. Personally I would release him at the end of the season and look for a enforcer prop.

Where is there an enforcer prop?
The NRL is out of reach financially and I don't know of any in SL unless you want to go for Ryan Bailey.
Wire brought in Hill, you have Walmsley, Wigan brought in Lauaki who no one seems to rate and also Dudson and Flower again who've both come in under the radar. None of them though are what fans would see as "enforcers".
Enforcer props don't seem to be around anymore to me.
Any names in mind?

I'd suggest that Walker and Greenwood are being promoted now for the future.

And what Ive seen so far Im impressed. Loved the way Walker came flying out the line to smash Monagahan.

He has been one of the biggest disappointments I can recall as far as big name signings go. I'm personally gutted he's been turd as I was really looking forward to him smashing up opposition forwards, especially when Graham left.

The sooner we cut our losses the better.

Does this explain his absence? www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/j ... 6597219958

If he has stopped taking actovegin since moving to the UK, it might explain the seemingly sudden downturn in his physical performance levels.

Oh yummy calfs blood that sounds lovely.

I'm not going to get too much into this, but what about Mad Cow Disease???

Quote ="Old Feller"Does this explain his absence? www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/j ... 6597219958'" It explains why his form has fallen off a cliff! Get him back on the cows blood!

This is a disgusting revelation. Can the club use it to fire him perhaps?

If he is found guilty of a drugs offence (which there is no chance of unless he admits it) then he'll get a ban and we can fire him

Don't fire him it isn't on the anti doping list, get the lad some more of it!
