With Webster being the new coach do you think he will have different ideas about Annakin? I personnally think he will be a real handful at 2nd row the pace and power he has would be a real asset. I feel like at prop his threat is nullified.

From what I have seen dont think he is SL standard not winning a colision however I know he is playing prop but would much suit 13 than second row. Hopefully he proves me wrong!

He has shown in fits and starts he could become a SL player, but not at prop. I'd like to see him at loose running out wide. Not sure how his defence is though

Loose for me.
Not a prop and doesn’t run the lines for 2nd row.

First thing he needs to do is ensure he stays fit and has a good crack at the 19 every week. What was supposed to be breakthrough season for him has turned out pretty underwhelming so far.

I like a loose forward to offload a bit though, if we develop his offload then maybe.

He has a good passing game. We just haven't needed it at prop.
13 for me.

Good speed and passing game, defensively fine, just needs a longer run of games and time to develop further. Loose forward for me, wasted as a prop, not enough power/aggression. Good young player that the club should look at as a long term option.

I'm also in the play him at 13 club. Think his game is made for the modern version of a loose forward.

Not big enough for prop. Pace, passing game and strength for loose forward.

No,no,no!
Where will Washbrook play?

It's about time we put faith in our own, therefore Washbrook should be moving on.

If we adopted that stance we would have to let go all the team go that played against Leeds. It could be of course you are still prejudiced against Washbrook.

Washbrook has been playing well recently and at the moment deserves his place in the 17.

Agreed.
I'll back the youth but they need to earn it too.
Washbrook has been better than most.

Well when will we give the likes of Annakin and Walshaw a long run in the first team? Pretty much every other team has done it with theirs. I'll gladly say that Washbrook has been playing better since Agar left, but for me it's pretty embarrassing to see other clubs have their own talent in their starting line up and we don't.

Oh go f*ck yourself

at a guess it is because when Agar came the kids hadn't been looked after so it would have been unfair to throw them in if they weren't up to it. No point getting kids beaten up and any confidence destroyed. Now we have relegation do it's unfortunately no time to be giving kids a go until the club is safe. I'm guessing the teams you are talking about are all in the top 6? So will have plenty of internationals around them without any fear of losing their place in SL. The awful downside to getting rid of licensing.

The resort of a desperate person just because the stupidity of your post is pointed out what do you do resort to insults, unlike some on here you cannot bully me and I will decline your suggestion. I have one for you why don't you get over your hatred of certain team members and concentrate more on their recent performances.

Both hull teams, salford have done it with evalds, London, Bradford, widnes, Catalan and the top 6.

Nothing stupid about suggesting that we should look after our younger players otherwise who would want to play for wakey? As for hatred for Washbrook I don't hate him I merely think he's done bugger all (except the last few games) in the two and half years he's been year. He's like Vince Mellars mark two.

Eight or nine games left, I'm sure Annakin will get a run out within that time.
It's good that Webster has enough confidence in the team he picks to do the job without Kirmond.
As has been mentioned, no one would begrudge Kirmond a rest.
Also Annakin is coming off the back of his 5 match suspension.
At the moment Washbrook is probably worth another 12 months but no more.

It's no coincidence that all the players that have been constantly knocked on here have shown major improvement since RA left. Mathers, Lyne and Washbrook are all worthy of their place. Why should Anakin come back from missing 5 matches and oust Washbrook from No 13? I think Anakin shows promise but he's hardly set the world on fire in his appearances so far.
