He's excellent at Academy level, but it's a big step up to the first team, especially when the team is already severely lacking in experience.

It wouldn't be my choice but apparently it's the plan according to the WEP.



I'd probably just jet Ganson and Woods share it.

I do hope the coaching staff are agreed on who should play where as us lot can't agree on almost anything between us.

Joel at dummy half, he's 6'4". I don't buy that one.

Where's the kicking game? Powell never seems to do much kicking, what about Woods, does he?

Woods is an excellent kicker.

He is, and a goalkicker too. I'd go with Powell and Gregson in the halves and Ganson at hooker, with Woods on the bench to allow Powell to relieve Ganson. We already know Powell can play both positions, and can do the full 80.

Is that team possibly the lowest average age in SL history?

Average age of the 19-man squad is 22.8 years, if my maths is correct. I'd be surprised if there was a lower one.

What a star we have with Sam Powell played the last 15 months with out a problem played at hooker as cover half back and also kicks goals well done to the young lad.

But most of the time he is held together with bandages.

I'm actually looking forward to it particularly if we could replicate the atmosphere generated when we seemed doomed to relegation a few years back.

It's strange but I'm less concerned about the three quarters but more about the few remaining senior players particularly FPN, Isa and Tomkins being able to step up their performance.

I think Isa has always put in a shift to the best of his abilities, but yes, the other two need to step up.
