The only thing is, with all this talk of a new centre, i've just one question:

What about Jason Crookes?

We need more than three centres in the squad to cover for injuries and provide competition for places. This season has shown that, on occasion we've had to contend with the loss of Nero (our best centre!) to injury, a huge loss of form to Sykes, and the complete loss to injury of Crookes. That's left us struggling for form and penetration in the backs.

Playing Menzies at centre is ok but not an option for every week (even if his defence is a mile better than Sykes).

Halley
Sheriffe
Millard
Nero
Rudd
Kearney
Deacon
Lynch
L'estrange
Hall
Menzies
Burgess
Langley

As a starting lineup that would be an improvement on last year but it's not exactly top 4

Didn't know that. I thought being an Express reader indicated that I was some kind of highley educated academic.

It is quite glaringly obvious where the weak points are though. Namely the wings and the halves. Rudd looks like he might be a decent player, but he's very much the unknown quantity. Sheriffe and Deacon are the obvious weak areas, with the likes of Kearney, L'Estrange and Hall around the "unknown" marks until we see them play in Super League.

We've got more, there called academy and reserves.
