This is definitely the way to go. The last thing we want is to bring Turner in to centre so we can move Whiting to FB, so Tansey can then go into the halves. Just stick Turner or Nicklas straight in.

If one comes out one comes in. Simple.

Turner hasn't impressed at stand off in the few games he has started/finished up there. Nicklas would be a better choice.

He was very good their against Cas at Home. Think that was our highest points tally in a game last year, with Horne at 7 to boot!

Thought you were expecting a lot off Jack Briscoe. Sammut would be behind Moore at 7 though.

and thats what i dint want lauaki playing at prop im not doubting he cant play there as he as but certainley looks alot better running outwide were he can use his ball handling skills and offloads, he aint a prop and i know some people will disagree but lauaki is deffo a better secound rower then a prop. personally id like us to go with
8.omeley
9.houghton
10.fitzy
11.tickle
12.manu
13.westerman
with moa and radders rotating with the props and lauaki rotating with the back 3, for me thats how we would lineup better with everyone getting plenty of gametime

He's in full time training now so hopefully he'll be capable of coming in.

Re: WESTERMAN SIGNING CONFIRMED : Wed Jan 12, 2011 10:45 pm  

sammut is more of an off the cuff attacking player like rich horne was when younger with the ability of playing 6 and fullback, he would be a good signing on a 1 year deal bit like the moa deal where he can prove his worth for another deal but id still want the club to invest in another young 7 like moore

Suppose so, given Tansey's age i wouldn't expect him to get injured a great deal. And hopefully without the need to move him around to cover other positions i suppose Briscoe could be eased in.
My worry is that if Tansey can't keep himself out of trouble, we'd be expecting too much of him.

id expect briscoe to be given a few games this season to see where hes at and if hes good enough now, certainly a talent though
