Will we keep u19s and bring about this new reserves team? I don't really want to see u16s progress straight to open age rugby.
Has anyone heard any news on how McDonnell is? I know the official fears were a torn achilles but I don't recall hearing anything official from the club?
yes pretty poor 3 full backs with career threatening injuries and the next next choice out for 3 months . How about Roby at full back and Charnock at 9 .
Has to be Percy for me. Even if Swift is fit, I dont think he could manage with the peppering he would get.
Charnock to FB. As much as I like the idea of Percival at 1, it makes no sense to move him and weaken the backs even more than we have to.
We have to look at bringing someone in on loan if possible... More messing around with the team setup will cause more disruption... If we can find anyone to bring in I'd sooner do that than faff around moving people around everywhere... Who that could be is anyone's guess... Surely Kevin Locke is a target now... Maybe Fages? Christ who knows but only for bad luck we'd have no luck
I would try Charnock at FB too. Not sure if we can read anything from it but Charnock played loose forward for Rochdale today. I thought he may have played FB if we were planning on playing him there? Maybe it was a bit short notice to mess Rochdale about or maybe its not in the thoughts of the coaching staff!
Yeah he had a spell at FB for the 19's a few years ago. Obviously it's not a lot of experience but to my knowledge Lomax hadn't played a lot of FB either when he was given a go there in the first team and he adapted well. I tend to agree that Percy would be the best option but Personally the less disruption the better.
we take a gamble on a youngster or shift one of percy/turner to fullback with jones then in the centres. not an easy decision for cunningham to make, and with a cup game this week he's got no time to experiment. glad its him making the call and not me.
i wonder where catalans found salary cap space for krisnan inu. i would have loved to see him in a saints shirt. hes quality, with experience and can play anywhere i 1-5
