We need to stop shoehorning players into positions they are not as good at eg Handley to FB, Martin to RC, MacDonald wing, Gannon to SO and Bentley to Hooker.
With Smith saying the forwards are his priority next season maybe the likes of Tetavano and maybe Bentley/Lisone are leaving.
It goes without saying we need at least 1 half back and preferably 2 plus a FB unless Hooley all of a sudden becomes our saviour.


We beat both Saints and Wigan with handley at full back.
Just sayin ;-)

Just to add I can’t see is winning this one, Saints have their strongest squad in a while and we have our weakest.

I'll eat my left nut if Gannon becomes a quality week to week half back. Risky business making such a big switch with a player whose shown so much potential in the pack. Rohans press conferences sounded like the long term plan isn't just a filler now and again.

I agree we could strengthen in the pack, but it looks to me like RS has been reading the "Book of Misdirection" by Gary Hetherington. It's clear we need to strengthen most in the creative positions.






It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Lisone staying according to his Mrs. She's coming back at some point. Story in YEP. Agree re Macdonlad, he's far better at centre.

Agree. Which means we'll win comfortably.

Yes it sounds like Gannon is the new "style" of 6 as Smith says,whatever that means also get the impression Handley will be fullback moving forward interesting times indeed.

At 18 Gannon can still move around a fair bit, it’s a big change to SO but it helps intelligent players to play different positions and develop game knowledge and flexibility.
Long term he may well not suit it but would make him say a better loose forward in 5 years time when he will only be 23.
Jack Gibson used to do it at Parramatta with Kenny and Ella and Mark Laurie.

For your sake Seth I hope he does not become the new Laurie Daley. Although in the internet age you could make a fortune showing it live on YouTube.
