Myers and Nichol have barely played any competitive games at all so I wouldn't agree they're decent cover. MDJ looks like a better option but I'd feel more comfortable if we had someone that was proven at this level as backup. Evans hasn't got the best injury record (nor has MDJ) and there will come a point when both our first choices get a knock, need a rest or lose form.

I think Kear played there for a time with London

Trouble is are we going to be able to sign a proven centre who is prepared to sit on the sideline until one of our regular centres is injured.

I doubt we'll get anyone now - maybe a dual reg player from Hull or a loan from Leeds may help if we get injuries. I take your point about who's going to come and sit on the bench but every good team has competition for places. We have it in other parts of the team - I just think we look thin in the centres.

I think we're light in the backrow which is a pool you can use in other positions. Backrowers tend to be able to defend so can go to centre if they have a bit of pace like Gilmour, or go in to the front row like Radford, or even half back like Addy.

Be interesting to see how he uses Evans if he's playing all 3 hookers.

Wallace
England
Scott
Murphy

With O'connor to come in.
Baldwinson has fit in there as cover the last couple of games.

How many more do u want?

Nichol hasnt even got a squad number

Murphy will be injured for 50% of the season.

Certainly one more, preferably two because Murphy is shot, O'Connor isn't our player and might never come and as you say we're already having to stick a prop in as cover by Round 1. Our cover for loose forward (as excellent as he is) is actually our first choice hooker. Oh, and our dual reg partners are looking bring a forward in on loan.

And limping for the other 50%.
