     Excuse my ignorance but i don't know much about Whitton,is he a young player with potential?.Much like Render when we gave him a chance.As i said in my post i think Render would be a capable squad member and we know what he can do.However if Whitton performs  like Harry Newman did for us then he will be a good addition to the team.

when we signed him  club said he featured for and against Rovers during pre-season,he played in our opening 2020 friendly against York City Knights and he  also scored twice against Featherstone in our final pre-season tie against Leeds Rhinos.

Big props are always useful. 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.

   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.

So as we stand, and ignoring the rumours about Welham or the possibility that Harrison could leave, we could line up something like:

Hall
Gale
Hardcastle
Minns
Blackmore
Brown
Chisholm
Ferguson
Parata
Harrison
Day
Ferres
Lockwood
subs
Jones
Cooper
Bussey
Davies/Halton/Field

 

Need to fit Ryan Hall somehwre in there 😉

I was surprised at that too. Useful for us last season.

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?

Forgot to say, well done Fev on the Welham signing, the backs are looking good for next year and I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

Yeah, when you put it like that, it seems a problem.

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'

I think this is a fair point. 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.
