Actually, if Stan is released at the end of this season then it makes even more sense. Scott would then play the kind of role Stan has been i.e. a utility forward replacement off the bench.
We have been found wanting against big packs this season e.g. Huddersfield and Warrington so there could be some logic in this.
Can't see how Gilmour / Mannering would change this though. They're both lightweight mobile forwards.
Who are the likely departures then...Fitzy, Stan, Macca & Mills?
Fitzy...new hooker.
Stan...new outside back I reckon (Craig Hall?) with Chev moving full time into the pack, especially if Fitzys replacement is a hooker.
Macca...new prop.
Mills...not getting much game time, so don't think we'd bother with a new player tbh.
None of these 4 played on Saturday, so maybe a glimse of next season?
