They’ve decided to kill that rule change because all that would have happened is that each kick off would result in a 7 tackle set. No change to the impact on the first tackle.
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

If were going to use him as a battering ram out of our own 10, lobbing him diabolical hospital passes every other set while letting our forwards lazily avoid carries then we haven't learned the lessons from previous years and deserve all we get.
Sivo should not be wasted and burning up energy doing that, a few a game maybe but a Ryan Hall bulldozer out of yardage is not what we should be utilising him as, nearer the opponents line targeting the edges / smaller / less mobile wings yes.

The end of the season is when we lost Handley and Miller (and of course Fus for the last game) in the backfield, and where we missed their yardage carries. For that reason, I don't think we saw benefit in the forward pack that we could have if they had all been fit.
The big question for the forwards next year is how Gannon and Holroyd go. I think Holroyd was trying too hard early in the season when he did play. Maybe putting him on the bench will allow him to go back to basics. As I understand the new salary cap rules, if neither end up playing, we may get some relief to look for new signings?
Don't think so. Only change I can see that refers to injured players that makes provision for taking them off the cap is for players who miss more than 6 games as a result of foul play.

Happy with this. At worst he’s a bigger Donaldson. There was that one game back end of last year (I want to say against Catalan) where he was excellent and showed there’s potential to be more than that.
Sounds obvious but I really hope we get abit of luck with injuries this year. Last few years have felt pretty bad, though the crazy bans last season didn't help.

Good resign, not huge not small, mobile fit and seems resilient. Only 21 so could be a real solid Super league prop over the next 2-3 years. He can already step straight into first team rugby and should be cementing starting spot over his contract period. Maybe even push in another level or 2.
