Problem is tho our wings now look considerably weaker when you move Hitchcox there

Hitchcox at fullback, Evans and Ryan on the wings, Gibson & Webster in the centres. Plenty of experience and quality.

I couldn't comment on Pickersgill as I've only seen him play once or twice, but even without him that's still a strong backline and with backup of Oakes, Grant & DFJ.

I tend to agree that McNally would be a loss if he could get back to form, but if this illness is as bad as is being suggested, the club should do the right thing and release him to be closer to his family (assuming that's what he wants). And not be demanding transfer fees either as someone suggested. Sometimes doing the right thing by someone is more important than other factors.

The rumours of McNally leaving have been around for sometime however, which makes you wonder if we are looking at another signing to announce around the same time as a departure.

The length of time the rumours have been around are what makes me doubt them. Although I don't have any "in the know" friends, I question the logic of handing out the number 1 shirt to player that was highly likely to be leaving soon. You'd just hang on with announcing the numbers until it was sorted out one way or the other.

I think he's more than capable of excelling a n this league. With or without a mentor. Defo competition would help however.

I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised when you see who is coming in to replace McNally

Not sure if Evans has had a game or two at full back

If you can just get Evan's a game or two anywhere on the trot then you will be doing considerably well.

Maybe I am confusing him for someone else, but while Pickers got run over for the try, he also made a try saver in the first half when York created a 2 man overlap on our left wing on a switch play. Pickers came across, chose the right option and bundled the lad into touch when it should have been a try. This hasn't been mentioned.

Of course it hasn't, it doesn't fit Pyrah's agenda
