The signing of Littler is a great one for the club and will strengthen the team considerably. However the problem we had for everyone to see last season was pace and Stu isn't going to address this problem. We have Nanyn in the centre he will do as he did las season score points, whether he lets them in is something he and Basil will have to work on. On one wing will have the improved Maden but he lacks pace and was shown up last season. Adam Higson for me is a forward but was our fastest back last season does he play in the other centre with Littler in the back row? If Blythe returns where does he play? If we are signing a winger with pace then thats only really a one position improvement. So where can we improve pace elsewhere in the side?

I'd be quite happy with Nanyn and Blyth as our centres and a couple of rapid wingers outside them, to be honest. Mind you, with the amount of injuries we had last season I wouldn't be surprised to see players switching positions every other week.

Higson's a full back all day for me. Two rapid wingers and Blythe now and our squad looks dangerous. Littler in the second row, maybe even loose forward.

Except Sundays and Thursday nights IMO

should you really be drinking this early in the day?

Maybe Hale on one wing ,Pace on the other

.

Why?

Donlan is a great full back so it would be a waste to play AJ there when he imo should be in the centre.

Anyways I am content to let Basil pick our side.

I agree, Donlan should be the first name down on our team sheets at full back. Still think Higson's a full back though.

AJ from early on in his career played at Fullback, that HIS position

Yep, and yet our moderator still takes the proverbial out of me for pointing that out.

But now isn't 'early in his career'. What was Hilly early in his career......

not just early on, all the time while he was at the MINERs

so we play him at fullback and just leave Stu (probably the one of the best fullbacks outside of superleage) out?

BTW i only take the mick when it deserves it



nickey taking is allowed as long it doesnt get nasty

Stand off at New Springs wasn't he?

Makes no difference what we think anyway its up to the coach .

Think thats what I was getting at. As good as he is now, would you play him at stand off.

...however as DJ says, its down to the coach and not us

Point im making wbk is hes a full back and definately not a back rower. Fair enough on the banter though chief, i don't mind you taking the 'nickey' out of me.

you can have the fastest player in the world playing but if he doesn't get any ball?????

Or can`t catch it.

Quiz question. Whilst I am aware we do not have the fastest winger in the world I wonder who is the player who never passes the ball ? The lads I go to games with will get it I'm sure.I have told them often enough.

Well, at least he could fulfil one function - chasing back and stopping Batley, Dewsbury etc. speedmen!

Thats intruiging wonder who you mean.

Interesting comments re AJ but for me he is an out and out second row, you need pace in the pack as well you know and AJ would be a cracker given an injury free run imo.

So we go with a second row of AJ and Littler ?

Might work and we could score lots of points.
