Sivo is knocking on but he's been class for a while.

I think a back line of

Miller
Hall
Handley
Newman
Sivo

With Connor / Edgell / Lumb /McCormack/ etc as cover is better and more reliable than we have had for a long time.

The go forward in those early tackles shoukd be much better and really help out the forwards

If we do have Hall and Sivo on the wings next year, on a wet and windy Friday night at Craven Park, I know which wing Mikey Lewis will be aiming at. If Momorovski does free up an overseas spot, I think we may be better getting a direct replacement from the NRL. Keep Handley on the wing and for me Jake plays 7 to put pressure on Frawley.

The thing to remember about Sivo is that his try scoring record his unbelievable. Not far off one a game competing with the big beasts in the NRL. If we can't (assuming he comes) get 20 tries out of him next season something is very wrong. I'll be able to live with a few errors in return. Agree with you regards Connor.

Sivos try scoring highlights seem to mainly show him getting on the end of passes to finish from close range. Not saying it's easy but he doesn't seem to create much himself ie from range and our 6, 7 and 1 need to combine well to make the best use of sivo and Hall.

I'd watch a couple of games, or at least the extended highlights. 15 metres from the line he's not just a full backs nightmare he's a wing, centre and full backs nightmare. Agree though, Arthur set up his left side well enough to insure he had a number of walk ins, but any wingers highlight reel has a lot of those.

If everybody was fit I could see us looking like this

8. Mik
9. Ackers
10. Palasia
11. Gannon
12. McDonnell
13. Smith

14. Holroyd
15. Lisone
16. Jenkins
17. O’Connor

In the gf Wigan had 3 props on the bench. Jenkins can do some second row if required. O’Connor can cover 9 and 13 and McDonnell can shift to centre if we pick up an injury.

That is a lot bigger and more powerful starting pack and bench than we have had for a few years.

We then have sangare and TNW in reserve with Bentley and Littlewood in reserve for back row.

McDonnell to centre good grief FYI Jenkins was one of the fastest 19year olds over 100m in Australia he could probably give McDonnell half a pitch start and still beat him over the other side a good grafter ill give you.

Yeah but we are talking about McDonnell covering centre if. If a starting centre gets injured. We should not carry a back on the bench, if a back isn’t fit then he doesn’t play. If you want to move Jenkins to centre over McDonnell if we get an injury that’s fine as well. However, if Jenkins is going to come as a prop who can cover back row then I’d probs move a back row one out to centre over him.

Don't we have Connor and a few kids that coukd cover before resorting to jamming back rowers in every spot
