GOR or Coolie might have the answer, did he travel with them last season? A visa is not yet a requirement for France for British citizens. I don't know why LW isn't travelling - maybe he has been dropped? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Walshaw and Everett have been revelations imo and far better than I expected. I was critical of Leaks' distribution last season, but he looks to have worked on it and improved. As stated above, we have found an absolute gem in Bowman he is a genuine ball playing loose forward, the likes I thought had disappeared from the game. I thought Lunt might be taking on the leadership role, but he's not really doing the minutes to do that. I don’t really understand the agreement with Leeds, we have Dupree on loan, but the glaringly obvious weakness in the centre hasn't been resolved. I thought we would be pulling out all of the stops to get Broadbent back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for the info b17. I wasn't aware of that, maybe a swap with Yates could be worth a shot in that case and move White to scrum half? Although it doesn't solve the centre issue, it would at least help the guy at centre having to just cover his own man rather than 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only need to name 21, they don't actually have to be available. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Forgot to add that applies only if there are no allowable reasons for the changes, which include recall of a DR player by his parent club or suspension of a player after the squad has been named and in other 'exceptional circumstances' when the club can appeal to the RFL for dispensation.
