i know who we've got playing for us but i still think westerman is a good player. if we signed halfback cover in addition to westerman then i would be alot happier

The signing of westerman would be a very good one, fitz can move to prop, whiting stays as 1-6 cover, washy to cover houghton from the bench.



8. Fitzgibbon

9. Houghton

10. O'Meley

11. Tickle

12. Manu

13. Westerman



14. Radford

15. Moa

16. Lauaki

17. Washbrook

Was just going to say the same thing, would solve our prop worries by moving Fitz/Lauaki in the props. He is a real 13, something we haven't had for ages.



And before we say 'Whiting', yes I too would like to see him try out there, but if he hasn't been tried out there by now I doubt he ever will be.

I then wouldn't be to upset with dowes resigning as he would be our 5th choice prop.



Throw in some one who can cover 6,7 and 9 and our squad has balance.

i'd like to see mcshane on a season long loan from leeds, or his he just mainly a 9?

Hasn't Buderus gone back to Aus?

Buderus signed a one year extention, I don't think mcshane could cover the halfs.

But you think washy could cover at 9 ? Don't see anytime he's ever played there

Washy has covered there a couple of times and it may be his chance of a first team start next season. Washy always looks better playing in the middle of the park and has decent distribution so may well be worth a shot at hooker.



Is Motu Tony still looking for a club? He may be worth a pay as you play deal.

I would move Fitz to prop regardless of Westerman signing or not. If he does sign then great if not I would give the role to Whiting. Didnt PaulM suggest that Agar was planinng on using Whiting at 13 and changing the style of his pack for next season? I would welcome that change!

Except Fitz is not a prop and Washbrook would be too slow off the mark from dummy half and distribution too slow,

How did fitz play differently to our props last season?



Washys got the off season to practice.
