No but I assumed with his injury he may not e ready for start or will be eased back In.

I'm not sure where he fits in tbh not good enough for our second row n who out of Cooper hill sims Crosby down drop for him.

I'd like to see him used less but in the more important games where he can lead by example n be 100% for them games.

I have been wondering if Savelio has been signed in anticipation of the NRL coming sniffing round Currie?

Or that Currie will be missing till June at the earliest?

Westwood would be an ideal sub. as he's a real handful for a short period.

Too obvious! But was looking at the signing from Savelios point of view, can't imagine he has come here thinking he will be playing second fiddle.

Savelio will be targeting Jack Hughes' spot I should imagine. Hughes has done OK for me, but nothing more and maybe there is scope for improved attacking prowess in that position.

Has Hughes ever played centre...or hooker...

Re: 2017 Squad : Fri Dec 09, 2016 10:23 am  

I'm assuming that Rogues, the Purple Aki of Wigan RL will be along shortly to let us know...

Re: 2017 Squad : Fri Dec 09, 2016 10:24 am  

We looked at our absolute worst when Hughes was injured. Very under appreciated player, much like Trent Waterhouse. does nothing spectacular but does everything well and never slacks off. Does the little 1% things off the ball that wins you games.

Jack Hughes was Mr Dependable on the right edge in defence I am a little underwhelmed with his attacking prowess and hitting the line hard and bursting through gaps (ala Liam Farrell in the Grand Final).

He was given the number 4 shirt at Wigan when Carmont retired, he played a fair few times at centre (did well against Leeds), but ultimate would just be an athletic strong centre without a passing game.
