How about a starting 6 of Murray. Fozzard/Johnstone. Condon. Lawton. Badrock. McWhirter. On the bench, pick from - Langtree. Hall. Lloyd. Johnstone/Fozzard.
A pack as good as any in the league?
A pity for Bent and Roberts who play their hearts out.
Great pack but sounds like Hall put for the season and Langtree. Gutted as a decent forwards if all are fit. Just need a better dual system and a bigger squad next year for injuries and rotation.
I thought hall was quite useful - really sad if he gone for season
langtree - a great player , but I thought he be back in a few weeks ?
our pack when all fit is excellent
our backs at the moment with injuries are very thin
@berkeleyviking I think our pack lacks size. At hooker we are very strong, but both the front row and back row needs strengthening even when all fit. Condon is a great signing, but i assume he's here to put himself in the shop window for SL in 2026. I wonder if Leigh had a hand in contacting him about coming over to us with the links we have at Leigh and him having originally signing for them. Lewis Hall looks a great player, I like him but very unlucky with injury.
The York forwards when stood on the sideline waiting to come on looked massive last Sunday. Eventually if 2 players are of equal ability but one is taller and heavier, it's going to wear the smaller player/pack down.
There's only one prop in that pack...
There's only one prop in that pack...
The blurb on the club site introducing Condon says "...primarily as a prop or second row..." so I feel justified in including him with Murray as props.
You are, though, correct in mentioning this point as at least one more prop ought to be included. Any suggestions?
Over to AC to solve this problem when all our forwards are fit! It could even be Bent after the way he has played in the last couple of games.
