we seem to be basing our season around the Leigh promotion plan of 2016. Get through the season, strengthen for the 8's and pick off at least 2 super league teams on the way.
Last year they came to CP and their pack included Hansen, Tickle, Patterson & Hock. They trampled us into the mud so Drinkwater and Ridyard played in dinner jackets behind them.
The question is do we have any forwards of that class ? and if not how many do we need.
I don't think one 15 minute Aussie is the answer
I've been impressed with Scruton and Clark, and Mulhern has raised his game, but Clarkson is make-shift and Kavanagh hasn't settled in yet.
The back row lacks 2 impact players and the roles Blair and Greenwood are playing isn't suited to their games.
I still say Abdull is destined for loose forward, and I haven't a clue where and how Addy fits in. Donaldson is a Championship player. Horne will do ok in the league program. Lawler has ability in abundance but not at 9. I'd like to see Milton given a few games to see how he develops, he could be a dark horse.
I have a concern over Lunt's replacement - Jubby should be getting first grade time but Sheens is opting for Charlie?
I agree, a Hala won't make a huge difference in the Mid8s, but 2/3 more players like Clark and I believe Rovers will set the pulses racing - the problem is finding them!
