Currie should be given the Loose Forward role and use his skills to help drive us around the pitch. We need a decent half back to help Myler who can be running off our new hooker.

I would not be surprised to see Currie at centre with Atkins in the second row next season.

I know that it's a pack thread, but, Atkins has been decent recently and finding a bit of form at centre ..leave well alone IMO

I think Atkins has been more than decent this year, he's been consistently one of our better performers from what I have seen recently.

Got some stick early on but he's rediscovered his form, fair play to him. Take note Mr Myler.

Players to swap around.

I'd have Ratchford at 1

I'd have Atkins and Russell on the wings, Atkins because a) he's rapid and b) he has no sense of the players around him, stick him on the edge problem solved.
Russell, mould him into a Justin Carney type wrecking ball.

Evans into centre

Keep GOB at hb and buy in a predominantly running hb with a half decent kicking game.

Currie at 13 and playing him in a role that the Pies play O'Loughlin.

Interesting bit of hypothetical reorganisation Yed.

If we subject Russell to a bit of exposure to Bruce Banner's gamma bomb we might get a Carney-esque winger and if so does anyone else 'fancy' Rhys Evans at FB?

Pointless having a dominant pack without the halves to take advantage.

We at present have lower level super league halves

Re: Next Seasons Pack : Fri Aug 29, 2014 5:31 pm  

We need to sign another prop.

Possible. I don't think Wood or Asotasi will be able to perform at this level next season.

Still undecided about England especially when he has played against a top four team pack.
