Wrench covering Wing isn't a bad shout but say we play him on the wing then lose a centre, there is hardly any cover at all in the backs. Plus it would definitely be better to try to settle him in one position at this stage, he is our only centre cover so will likely be getting a good 10-20 games at centre covering injuries/ suspensions.
Chanrley is good, he's reliable and he consistently plays most games in a season. I'd much rather he stays to be honest, I would be tempted to swap for Eden on a less wage though if that's on the cards.

I too would like to see Charnley stay.

He has been starved of possession, and did not get enough chances, which was ludicrous given his try strike rate when he joined us.

Not necessarily, if he's learning to play centre, not guarantee he can swiftly pick up wingers positioning and catching the myriad of kicks.

Not just yet.

So do you want him to play in our reserve team until Matautia retires then?

Wrench needs to play Super League in 2022 and if it means playing wing initially if Charnley leaves then I think he will thrive.

Lots of player have started their 1st team careers out of position on the wing, and then moved elsewhere in the backline later.

I have hope Powell will give plenty of game time to Wrench, Thewlis, Walker and Longstaff. I think they are 4 real quality youngsters (particularly Walker and Longstaff) who will be around for a while.

Have we got one yet?
We’ll be lucky to be top 5.

I’m going out on a bit of a limb here RD, but am I right in thinking you believe we are light in the prop dept?

When you've seen teams with Sumner, Mark Jones, Gary tees, and hilton as your props, I don't know how you can possibly complain about the current incumbents.

Re: New Prop : Tue Feb 01, 2022 10:39 am  

Sumner ?!?!? He was a great prospect when he came though. Remember that try at the old Boulevard ?
