Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote="The Clan"I think the extra quality in the front row will allow us to utilise more options off the bench.
Instead of having to have three big men on the bench in an attempt to gain the ascendancy over the opposition's forwards we now seem to be trying to achieve the same thing through quality.
That allows us to fill the vacant spot on the bench with a player chosen for tactical reasons.
For example, having Brad Drew and Tevita Leo Latu on the substitutes bench often left us short of firepower up front but gave us more football options.
The alternative was to have three big forwards on the bench but that left left us trying to shoehorn Brad Drew, Danny Brough, Sam Obst/Tevita Leo Latu and sometimes Scott Grix into the 17.
The quality of the first choice prop forwards available to as next year will mean that John Kear can select a player for the bench who is hand-picked to perform a role against that particular opposition.
This type of quality in the squad means the coaching staff don't have to trade off one thing from

So you think we will go for a bench of:
14 Hooker
15 Prop
16 Prop
17 A.N Other depending on game/conditions?
