I said about this some time ago..Is my preference tbh The way we use our wingers Fonua ain't gonna be starved. Carlos with his footwork and hands with a more than handy offload is gonna create loads of chances for Fonua. He's gonna be like our own Justin Carney. Also they're outside Kelly. 2 very tricky players inside him are gonna make lots of opportunity. I'll be tempted to put a few quid on top try scorer

Isn't pre-season training about trying different combinations to (a) find the best (b) find alternatives and (c) anticipate injuries?
Swapping and changing combinations every 5 minutes won't work, but every 2 or 3 days probably will.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Warm weather camp is usually were you really put together the pieces you've already been working on Goal line D was worked on this morn as seen as a weakness. Then more defensive work in the afty The combo then commented on by hdm reporter as looking good. Seems like it's being worked intensively to me. The reporter has mentioned about what you'd imagine being the starting team running drills and pointed out carlos kelly n sneyd all being in

I think Fonua was always brought here to play wing it goes with the two big wingers to bring the ball out like Bradford had years ago I just think last year due to injury in other positions Fonua ended up playing most of the time at centre cause he was the best option, I think we have a great back line this year with speed in Shaul and Carlos and power in Talona Fonua and Griffin whos not short of pace either ask Rovers, Hooker is my only concern if Danny gets injured (god forbid ) but I guess if anything serious we would have to go into the transfer market or loan in

Kelly was playing in the fullback slot out the back in that video. Could it be Kelly not Connor that is going to be putting pressure on Shaul
