This should never happen, he was awful at centre
Well his loan at Hull KR suggest different, was it 5 tries in 5 games?

Bowen
Josh
Gelling
Sarginson
Burgess

Williams
Smith

Flower
Mcilorum
Mossop
Faz
Joel
Lockers

Crosby
Patrick
Bateman
Logan

I was tempted to say Hampshire at FB, but I do hope he plays in at least a 3rd of the games this year. Otherwise how can he be ready the year after.

Obviously my front row is based on everyone being fit and available. We've got some depth at prop as Clubb and Eddy aren't included (I've assumed Taylor and Duson will be gone).

I'd go for Logan off the bench as he's a hooker. Powell isn't a hooker and Williams has jumped the queue for me to play along side Smith.

Forgot about Manfreidi. Hes as good as any other winger in SL imo. He slotted in seemlessly and if Burgess is off to the NRL I wouldnt be too concerned to have him and Josh on the wings week in week out. I feel safer seeing him under a high ball than Josh too.
