Hopefully Smith can help bring out the best in him and finally help sort out his attitude. Will be interesting to see where he starts next season as can see Hoy starting at full back so maybe in the halves if Trueman isn’t ready but like you I like him at centre so if Carlos isn’t fit then could start at centre.
Always baffles me does this. Hes light years ahead of anyone in the league for try assists in a poor team, only player who looks bothered when we lose. Hes the only player who seems to understand a gameplan and execute it.

Even in the short time Walker was here we saw glimpses of that. I have the opinion if we could get a good fee for him it would help the clubs progress in recruitment for the new coach however if he stays centre has to be his position but would have to stand in at six until Trueman is up to speed. We can cover for the loss of Connor but what we cant cover for is how weak we are at the moment in size and power in the second row and possibly front row as Taylor no matter whether he is a local player is finished as a top front row

Really please with this, probably the best we could have hoped for, an experienced coach with a good track record of improving every team he has been at. Backroom changes (particularly conditioning) also needed too will is another bonus.
Add a couple more forwards and I will be pretty happy with the squad to make improvements next season. I was 50/50 of getting a pass, but think this will swing me towards getting one.

That’s picky. It is a well judged statement, appropriate to the time. Reigns instead of reins maybe shows minds are on other things.
