Couldn't agree more. I'm struggling to find how and where we are gonna replace him from within. But ISWT n'all that

If tomkins was out then richards would go FB, who while not as good an attacking FB as sam, is probably a better defensive FB and pos one of the best defensive FBs in the league even though it is not his primary position.



If both were injured at the same time, which would be unlikely, we have more than enough cover as Roberts can also step in, failing which we have Goulding who can go ok at FB, and a young lad called Matty Russell in the 20s, who is a 20s England international and will go on to have a big future as soon as he gets a call up. We have more than adequate cover in every position on the field.

Thought according to you men mathers was a good player!!!

We have two perfectly good centres in Monaghan and Atkins - what we need are pacey wingers outside them.

Rhys Evans is quick.

So is Riley... why don't you try playing Monaghan at centre and Riley on the wing next season? He was scoring tries for fun last year. Blythe doesn't look good enough in some of the games i have seen Wire this season.

Blythe is not good enough end of story.



I am struggling with why he keeps getting picked.... he has no rugby brain, and can't pass for toffee so why he is being played in the centre in anyones guess, I don't rate him defensively either.

.. you cant try and claw back a 20 odd point deficit against Wigan without running out of steam.

in my opinion our back line should be:

hodgson

riley

monaghan

bridge

atkins



simple you got the pace of winger in atkins and riley and the class in the centres with bridge and monas. evans ready to step in with injuries.



when briers is injured i would like myler to change his style to more organising and kicking game and have grix who will always run the ball well. but next season it won't happen as GOB will be back and be good cover hopefully.

At the moment it seems like I've got more chance of getting a game than Riley. For some reason he seems to have slipped down the pecking order below Evans (fair enough, really), Blythe (hmm...) and Williams (nope, can't explain that one).



Next season, I'd like to see Joel stay on one wing and have Rhys Evans on the other. Good mixture of height and pace with that combination.

Atkins at left centre and find a decent winger. Bridge maybe at 13 at best. Not too certain where he fits in to be honest

Think we all now know that we need a new hooker to come off the bench. Usually we blow teams off the park and can afford to take Monaghan off for 20minutes. However when it comes to around the 35minutes mark(when Higham usually comes on) and we are losing Smith is reluctant to put him on and take off Monaghan so we end up having both of them playing, so we are down a forward. Also Smith was then reluctant to bring on Clarke unless he had to so when he brought him on for Monaghan i new we had given up the game.
