Would swap Carlos with Connor but that would do for me

I kind of agree, was the only position I had trouble with, choosing between the 2, ended up going with Connor, purely because he can create something from nothing, for himself or his winger, BUT also could quite easily go with Carlos,

True, I'm a huge Carlos fan. In lockdown I've been watching back some of the CC games and I think his contributions have been underplayed. I really hope he stays.

Itl be very interesting to see what Last does.

Just before Connor got injured against Catalans he out Fonua away twice after moving to centre from halfback, personally I think that partnership will be explosive.

The waters are muddies by Carlos who is very underrated and posts brilliant stats, likewise for Griffin. I'm wondering do we play Griffin starting at second row or coming off the bench. Or do we drop one of Connor or Carlos and keep Griffin at centre?

Big conundrum

With Last touching on creativity, I think he l find a place for Connor at centre alongside Fonua.

I think with the high number of games in a short time period we'll probably see plenty of combinations and horses for courses depending on the opposition. Defending v Hurrell as an example.

I agree Mrs Barista

Expect a lot of squad rotation, Taylor touched on it too.

Hopefully luck with injurys and our strength in depth will see us rise.

I'm hoping players like Houghton and Shaul are spelled too, itl be a shame if some are percieved as must play regardless of form when we have good youngsters particularly in Johnstone and Wynee to keep them fresh

Re: Salford v Hull 9th August Headlngley : Sat Aug 01, 2020 3:08 pm  

Keeping the players fit and fresh is going to be vital if we are hoping for any success this season.

Rotation and interchange is going to have to be spot on.

I know this is true every season, but even more so this year.

cant wait till next week, looking forward to the matches today as well

Re: Salford v Hull 9th August Headlngley : Sun Aug 02, 2020 11:56 am  

I might just go and cheer them in and out of the ground and watch the game in Skyrack.
Nowt better to do.
