Think that?s fair. We weren't a million miles from KR in both games under Arthur last year, even with our pygmy pack. They have certainly improved, but it does look like they'll be without both first choice wingers which is no small thing in the modern game. I'd be a lot more confident if Croft were fit, but you can?t have everything and it's a good and true test. I think we have decisions to make around Frawley and Lumb (who's been great but good do with a rest) to give ourselves the best chance of winning. 

Here`s a thought!
And I have been in the sun attempting to dig up the grass to extend the patio.
When all are fit with the exclusion of Sivo of course.
What about playing Croft RC inside Hall with Newman LC inside Handley.
Sinfield/Connor in the halves and Ackers/O`Connor in the hooking role.
Croft has that bit of pace and Handley isn`t a centre no matter how many times Arthur thinks he is.

That's called sun stroke 

For me Handley in the centre has been fine other than a few defensive mistakes. My bigger issue with it is that he has been one of the leagues better wingers for years and his kick return meters are very good. We?ve lost that. Riley has been decent but with Sivo/Handley not on the wing it?s a net loss. The addition of Watkins does open up some more possibilities. 


We need to get Jenkins tied down for the long term. He is exceptional and young for a prop. 

Both Palasia and Jenkins look to be astute signings
