I think that is a fair comment. Joe has got terrific footwork that causes defences a lot of problems. I suspect that the role will be shared by a few players this season. All three are inexperienced but will have benefited massively from last season.cherry toffee wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 1:56 pm I'm a bit surprised shorrocks hasn't been mentioned in the mix for the number 13 he may be less experienced than the other two but his defence is good and he's a lot more about him in an attacking sense in my opinion
And lost two props and replaced none.Firestarter wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 4:51 pm Sorry for being negative but all this prop thing has got me thinking........ we have 4 real backrowers(not including partington)..... smithies, bateman, faz n willie i think......... we have three out and out wingers including bibby( apart from the youngsters)....... now, considering marshy and dom arnt shy on injuries and faz and willie arnt getting any younger, wouldnt a back rower or winger be a better bet?........we have plenty props, so if we arnt confident then release and replace......... hopefully pearce paul will come through and solve the back rower thing....... too my knowledge we have lost 1 winger and gained none......and lost two back rowers and gained 1....... i could be wrong about this though
On paper we've lost 2 props but with the minutes G.Burgess gave us and could have given us this season (through no fault of his own) it feels more like losing 1.nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 4:58 pmAnd lost two props and replaced none.Firestarter wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 4:51 pm Sorry for being negative but all this prop thing has got me thinking........ we have 4 real backrowers(not including partington)..... smithies, bateman, faz n willie i think......... we have three out and out wingers including bibby( apart from the youngsters)....... now, considering marshy and dom arnt shy on injuries and faz and willie arnt getting any younger, wouldnt a back rower or winger be a better bet?........we have plenty props, so if we arnt confident then release and replace......... hopefully pearce paul will come through and solve the back rower thing....... too my knowledge we have lost 1 winger and gained none......and lost two back rowers and gained 1....... i could be wrong about this though

It is amazing how much better we looked for taking on a player who was not considered good enough any more Leeds and who a lot of commentators around other boards considered off to Toronto for a holiday. Toronto's misfortune was our gain.Mike wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 6:58 pmDidn't we sign Singleton?nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 4:58 pmAnd lost two props and replaced none.Firestarter wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 4:51 pm Sorry for being negative but all this prop thing has got me thinking........ we have 4 real backrowers(not including partington)..... smithies, bateman, faz n willie i think......... we have three out and out wingers including bibby( apart from the youngsters)....... now, considering marshy and dom arnt shy on injuries and faz and willie arnt getting any younger, wouldnt a back rower or winger be a better bet?........we have plenty props, so if we arnt confident then release and replace......... hopefully pearce paul will come through and solve the back rower thing....... too my knowledge we have lost 1 winger and gained none......and lost two back rowers and gained 1....... i could be wrong about this though
As already said we signed singleton...... we also had harvard and shorrocks come through and burgess and clarke hardly played...... thats why i said about replacing props we dont need/use...... oh and partington played loose and hes a prop alsonathan_rugby wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 4:58 pmAnd lost two props and replaced none.Firestarter wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 4:51 pm Sorry for being negative but all this prop thing has got me thinking........ we have 4 real backrowers(not including partington)..... smithies, bateman, faz n willie i think......... we have three out and out wingers including bibby( apart from the youngsters)....... now, considering marshy and dom arnt shy on injuries and faz and willie arnt getting any younger, wouldnt a back rower or winger be a better bet?........we have plenty props, so if we arnt confident then release and replace......... hopefully pearce paul will come through and solve the back rower thing....... too my knowledge we have lost 1 winger and gained none......and lost two back rowers and gained 1....... i could be wrong about this though
