Like that a lot better than Chamberlain at left centre and Briscoe on the left wing
Think whoever we see at FB, Centre and Wing or indeed anywhere in the 17 will have had to earn their spot under Cartwright and rightly so.
Will all the praise for the likes of Moy, Barron & Martin about how they’ve gone about pre season and bulked up I can see them being a big part of the 2025 season along with the Balmforth.
A back line of Moy Barron Hardaker Rapana Martin would certainly have some pace to it.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Really hope the Moy train isn't being over hyped - but it is high praise indeed.
Think the back 5 are quite interchangeable, for me it will be Ed Chamberlain who makes way in the backs ( assuming all others fit ).
Little to choose between the other 3 wingers - Lewis marginally behind but little in it. Was impressed with Harvey last year, put well behind him the errors of previous seasons. Saw an interview where he was impressive, clearly hacked off with the inability to maintain intensity or a game plan. Said 'its just not good enough' - showed passion for the shirt which is great.

Looks like he’s been on the cas forum to inform them of our hammering
I noticed that myself. Funnier still is that he went through the effort to register there and post that and not one soul has acknowledged his post.
Does anyone actually know what happened in the behind closed doors game? He is the only person I've seen mention it. Besides, my experience of these games is that they are essentially just opposed training sessions. You'll run through a few sets and then stop play to discuss things or to try something different. The score is incidental, in fact I doubt anyone even keeps score.

Looking at the amount of energy this guy is sapping on here whilst he sits in his bedroom licking the the windows and watching us train whilst expounding fantasy theories on things he actually knows nothing about (because a few of us actually do know a bit about them) its about time the mods had a close look at his ramblings and his posting history and the actual constructive input he has on here. But I guess the attention he gets from posts like this will have his mother emptying and washing his socks at very regular intervals.
