He's got a tough job to impress.


He does, it’s hard to see past Pitts for starting 13. Seems to be aging like a fine wine and looks fitter and stronger. There’s certainly healthy competition for interchange 13 like you say. Could be a handful fighting for it. Will make for a good competitive training attitude hopefully.

I don't think our forwards will be overwhelmed by SL but I am concerned a little by our half backs.
We really need to hit the road running - we cannot afford to wait for players to develop.
Just how I see it- they may make me eat my words and I hope they do!

Develop?
Our halfbacks are pretty much the most experienced in the squad. What do you want them to develop?

Not sure develop was the right phrase here. I would say it’s more develop a working partnership. Individually all 3 halfbacks have the ability. Only Lawford needs to develop this year and I can see him doing that on dual reg with Batley.

Not sure i agree about that both max and atone have something to prove. Atoni was atrocious when he first came but once fifita came it was like he was a different player, first choice prop in a struggling team. Max has played a lot of games but has consistently overlooked by successive coaches in favour of other players. This needs to be his season where he actually establishes himself as a top SL fullback - something he's yet to do.

In truman we have potentially one of the top3 standoffs in sl he doesn't need to develop he just needs to stay fit ! Russel has played a lot of SL games and i think some one else on here referred to developing a partnership

I think our starting pack mckmeeken, hood, rowel, nikotino, griffin , pitts with a bench of atoni vagana storton uele (doyle/lino) is a decent pack however get a couple injuries and bain is unproven, cozza isnt super league quality shaw i like but young for a prop, lingard is i think on loan suspect management think same otherwise we would nt be signing harvey makin

Think after the first half in the Leeds friendly think you do right to be a bit concerned ,remember one of them is a marque player Just expected more it is not as though they are new to S L . Do not think Trueman will be a top 3 half as been quoted .Will be happy if is all round game is half as good as Miller in is prime .With is injury record think it is unfair on the player to expect much more .

You will not see 4 x forwards on the bench this season. Highly unlikely. It will be 3 and a hooker most likely.

One of them will be rotation back up with Bain/Shaw/Lingard/Cozza.

Any squad, not just ours will suffer when you start getting a few injuries. That’s not just Trinity.



We can afford an injury or two in the pack and still not lose too much quality.

am not suggesting we’d have 4 forwards the ones listed imo are all sl after that there is a question about the rest , so we are both prettty much in agreement. I think 2 injuries in pack and there’s a big drop in quality . Obviously all teams suffer when there starters aren’t available and perhaps lack of injuries and strength in depth is what determines league placing more than any other factor.
