Green physically is the most ready for SL as he is a very big guy and is a athletic prop which is why he plays at 13 for the reserves.

Liam Kent is the 1 who I think personally has the most potential and is your typical 'Gilmour type' wide running second rower.

Cunningham is a workaholic and the other second rower but tends to play more central instead of looking to go wide like Kent.

All 3 of them could step up and give the 1st team a good 30mins no problem which is realistically the best you can expect from them at this stage of their development if they are expected to come off the bench and give somebody a breather.

Cheers Frasier, hopefully before the season ends we can see them get some game time. Agree on the point you made about Lauaki earlier, he needs to seriously improve to get a new deal.

I agree to an extent but i wouldn't be very happy keeping Long next season as I think it is time for him to retire - purely going by his injury record. I would rather take a gamble on a young overseas scrum-half and see if they cut it in SL.

I would seriously consider releasing Lauaki but there are plenty of games left this season for him to show us what he's about. Dowes has really turned it on recently and if Lauaki can do the same like we have seen glimpses of, then he may be worth keeping.

Bottom line for me is if we can't improve the half-back pairing then may as well try and sign a better full-back as it is probably the next best position to improve our attack

phelps is getting better every game, his confidence is growing aswell as his ability as he gets settled

but hes nothing special and been an overseas player for me we need to target someone better in the vain of bowen,minichello ect

News on Phelps' long term future at the club on RH's breakfast bulletin tomorrow.

Personally think Green is ready and was very unlucky not to feature against Oldham. He plays like a clone of Fitz.

Interview with Phelps stating his desire to stay on then?

I think they said it was Agar's thoughts, actually.

Us is concentrating on us performances, the other stuff will take care of itself. He's certainly not doing his chances of getting another deal at us club any harm. He's a terrific lad.

I wonder if his new background theme on Twitter is a clue?

Just hoping he doesn't tell Ogre and Moa about the place in Bolton.

could even hear his accent reading this

Unsure another big turnover of players is the answer.At this stage i would keep Phelps as our fullback,but would possibly release Lauaki.Add the good possibility Fitz will retire,leaves us with 2 quota places- 6 and a 7 ?

a good fullback like bowen/minichello, new 7 to replace long i feel these 2 posistions are a must no matter what. at this moment players such as lauaki,fitz,dowes,washy,burnett are all 50 50 if you know what i mean

you missed the word "bloke" between every word

dont forget lauaki

When I have watched the 20's this year Green has looked very robotic, whereas Cunningham and Kent both have alot of skill aswell as abit of biff!

Kent would be the next to step up for me, looks tough, plays good minutes, runs some good lines and can find a pass.

He also uses the Peter Sharpism of "dusty" sometimes. Fortunately for Lyne and Briscoe he doesn't call them "babies" like Sharp used to do with Hall and Lee.

Seriously, 10 rounds of toast as well? I felt a bit ill just reading the list, never mind eating it.

i know wonder if any fc players could eat it?

10 sausages 10 pieces of bacon

Agar has already said how much he rates him,and the lack of injuries to the forwards has limited him.Also said that if it wasn't for his lengthy ban last season he would have played quite a number of times.

I think any of the 3 of them could step up and do the job that plenty of youngsters are at other clubs. We haven't really had any injuries to give them an opportunity yet though. Personally, I'd let lauaki go and use these 3 as bench back rower next season. lauaki's quota spot and salary could be better used elsewhere and at least one of these 3 will be capable of stepping up to the mark next season.

Just wish the only 3 players in the 20's who look capable of 1st team action are all playing in the same position. Why can't 1 of the be a full back and one a scrum half????????

I like the idea of as few changes as possible.
I would attempt to re-sign everybody but Lauaki & Long.

If we could get Bowen I would replace Phelps with him.

Lauaki to be replaced by Kent.
Long to be replaced, by who I don't know.

bowen to replace phelps
seymour? to replace long and lauaki
with obviously the likes of green,kent ect pushing more forward.
