Cockayne has stated in the past that winger is his favoured position. I agree he injects energy in to the side when coming off the bench but the game doesn't allow for a player like him unless we go with one hooker for the full 80.
Ben actually skinned Kevin Penny at Warrington in a pre-season game a couple of years back so I would be quite pleased to have someone with that much pace playing out wide. He is also a pretty sound defender while having full back abilities will hopefully deter people from kicking over to him.
His height would only be in question if he is playing against Richards/King, most other clubs have around the same height wingers that Ben has the advantage over with his full back experience IMO.
As for Williams he is here for a month, his defence may well be terrible but he's had a bit of time out the game and he can only try his best. Justin has shown he doesn't mind giving players a chance but also shown that he will release them if he thinks they are no good or do not have the right work ethic. Good luck to the lad I am sure he will knuckle down and work hard.

I personally think Colbon's last 2 games have been promising, he's carrying the ball out as well as ever and barring that dropped ball from the kick, looks assured.

Ridiculous isn't it, particularly when you think of the bags and bags of tries the ones we've got have scored.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

We've only got 2 specialists, neither of whom have been in great form.

I put that in a much better sarcastic fashion.

Hmm, I think you're being a little sarcastic there Denzy Babes...
