If Albert is not coming, Fergie may not do the full season and no Holroyd on DR then we're short, aren't we? Watching the Leeds game tonight, it was interesting that Ferres played in the middle (as he has been in previous games for them) and played the full 80 minutes in a SL game. Given we are a bit short of middles and have Day/Davies/Halton, maybe Harrison, maybe Hardcastle too, who could fill the two edge back row positions, I can see us playing Ferres in the middle in 2021.

Yeah for sure. At that pace tonight, Ferres looked one of the less mobile packmen. He could easily play that 'prop' role for us, as could Lockwood, as have Davies, Bussey and Harrison in the past. These new rules have furthered blurred the distinction between front and second row, with greater all round mobility required. The forwards now just look like 1 acting halfback and 5 generic middles. Harrison showed up ok and I saw bits from McConnell too. Mustapha would be good for us too if they're offering. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha looked a willing worker can't see him making the Rhinos first team yet.A couple of years in the Championship will help his game no end.For what its worth with his tackling i thought James Harrison was the best forward on the Leeds side.

Me too, I thought he went well for us, and if he was going to become available we'd be interested. He'll be wasted at L1 level for sure. With Albert now not coming back, Susino's return to Oz (seemingly never to return), question marks over how much (if any) game time we're going to get out of Ferguson, and possible SL interest in Harrison, we're potentially looking pretty short in the prop department. Wonder if we have any irons in the fire now that SL sides are planning for a new season without reserves/DR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking if the speeded up no scrums game becaomes the norm in 2021, then forwards such as Bussey, Lockwood, Ferres, even Davies will occupy the positions we previously called 'front-row' or 'prop' https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look very strong in the outside backs, are set at hooker, half back and edge back row positions, but we lack depth with our middles. I think we might not see much activity until nearer the start of next season, if and when it happens. With SL clubs also cutting their cloth accordingly, it's likely to remain a buyer's market.
