Have a gander



A good thing or not?

I think its a good thing, means Joel gets a full game hopefully

*edit..........DOH! right link is on now

I think you posted the wrong link

Don't risk him.

We have Joel Tomkins who is more than capable of filling in. Some may argue Joel Tomkins should be above Hansen in the pecking order.

Hansen is quality IMO but I would love to see a young player get a chance, in the cup against wakey I would like to see us play Mossop as well, these games away at tough places like wakey give young players great experience.

Mossops on loan at barrow, possibly give Farrell a chance??

Its no loss at all. Weve got some really good backrowers in the reserves who are more than capable of stepping up.

Hansen, Bailey and Lockers are all too similar imo to carry in a 17 man squad. I think you can play 2 of them but it all beocmes abit predictabke when they all play.

All things considered Hansen is probably the weakest of the 3 so he'd be struggling to make my 17 at the minute.

Give him a rest. Hock, Tomkins, Lockers and Bailey should be fine. The problem is the props don't give them any momentum to work with, and it's a defensive backrow as it is.

I'd disagree..I'd say just Hansen and Bailey are too similar.

Locky's tackling technique is different and compliments those two perfectly, as long as we hunt in packs in defence - something we don't always do and let ourselves down.

Also Locky's attack is far and away better than either of those, especially lately.

Agreed hes stepped it up this year its really pleasing to see as we all know he had it in him. Lets hope it continues.

Locky is an absoloute brutal defensive player. His defence is absoloutly awesome he doesnt just tackle people he absoloutly nails them every time. The Saints game a few weeks ago is a perfect example.

Blessing for me!

Simply play a back 3 of

Hock Lockers
Tomkins
----------------
With Farrell given the nod from the bench. This will never happen, it'll be

Hock Bailey
Lockers
-----------
Tomkins

Tomkins offers some great attacking running as he runs some great angled runs ... so yes I agree he should be in there to offer more than the 3 defensive guys mentioned already!
