We have secured Wardle and could probably cope without bringing in another centre next year so I think we may make a hard play for Thompson and run with Thornley/KPP/Halsall as centre options alongside Miski/Thornley/Halsall as wing options.

If we are unsuccessful with Thompson I’d suggest then we would go for a specialist Centre not a winger.

We may not need Thompson next year but if he is available he needs to be signed as he would probably be with whoever he comes back to for the next 6-8 years.

This is the reason I think Wardle is such a great signing too.

He probably solves a problem for the next 8-10 years I don’t think he has much of a desire to go to the NRL.

Wardle signing for us is a bit like when Senior signed with Leeds.

If I have one minor gripe with Peet (& it's only minor), it's his selection & loyalty to certain players. Last night, Cust should have started at 9 with Miski on the wing. I have no idea where the thought of Shorrocks starting came from?

MadDogg wrote:Yes I agree - hopefully that will be it for Shorrocks at hooker but I suspect not.

I for one trust Peet to put the dynamics of the team first and not favour any players.
