agree with you about burgess at LF ( although if donaldson continues to impress I might be inclined to use him at LF), whilst worrincy has been one our better players this season the vast majority of those performances have bee where he's started on the bench and come on against tired opposition. Hes then done a lot of damage. When he's started game against fresh opposition he hasnt looked anything like as effective. wigan game was a good example of this.

It wasn't.

IMO it's too much to expect James Donaldson to become starting loose forward next season.

he plays prop/2nd row for manly. we're planning on using him at prop. Same transition peacock made really.

He plays more games in the 2nd row than at prop. SO IMO he's a second row that can prop at a push.

I dont expect him to be starting LF next season. He hasnt got the physical size yet. But If he carries on the way he's started I wouldnt be adverse to giving him some game time there when appropriate, Maybe with a view to him being starting LF for 2011 season.

I will be very disappointed unless we sign at least three more players - 2 half backs and a centre or wing. In fact, looking at the players we are losing, I will be demanding an explanation of our use of the salary cap...

Agree with pretty much everything here other than the comments on Sheriffe. I don't think he's amazing but I equally don't think he's any worse than, say, Gardner. He's quick, he's actually a pretty evasive runner on the wing, and he doesn't miss a great deal in defence. However, he's not a good broken field runner and doesn't often beat the tackler in midfield. With a decent centre inside him though, who knows?



Personally my absolute dream signing would be Vatuvei - Bradford has been built on huge tackle busting wingers in TV and Lesley, and signing the new one would be a) great for the team and b) great for the marketeers

tend to agree with that. sheriffe often looks poor defensively because he's been left in a two on one situation when sykes goes missing. When menzies has played alongside him that wing has been much stronger.

Sorry but Sheriffe is gash. The Pennine league is even a too high a standard for him.

Can't agree with either Worrincy at starting SR next season, that would be appauling. In my books he'd be lucky to even find his way onto the bench after some of his recent showings. As for Burgess at loose, no way, he's very poor in that position. What is people's gripe with Langley? OK he isn't the greatest offensive player, but he makes ground, and he tackles all game long. He's been nothing like gash and I think people are expecting him to be an Ellis or a Watmough, when he clearly isn't that type of player.



Langley is far more worthy of a starting spot than Worrincy and Burgess is not a loose forward in my opinions.

The beef I've got with Langley is that he seems to have slipped into an awful habit of stopping running as soon as he gets close to contact which means he busts nowhere near as many tackles as he did a couple of seasons back.



I do rate his overall effort though, and defensively he is a stalwart for the team. I just think sometimes he needs a bit of tenacity, although he's not on his own in that area!
