| On converting one of the current guys to 13, even though I'd be a bit hesitant about moving 2 of our best props, I've always thought Rodwell would make a good 13, I know he's played there and done well, so not much of a change. I also think Stourton plays very similar to Pitts, the same hard-working, hard-tackling, always plays-at-a-high standard kind of player. It's hard to move your best players into other positions or bring someone in. As said it depends on who's out there
As for backrowers, I don't think we're exactly desperate for anyone, we've got 9 guys who can play there atm but I think a lot will depend on how Croft develops this year. We have Big Mike who plays there when needed, Vagana who's starting to show how good he's gonna be, Seth, Stourton & Griff. We then have guys like Cam Scott and Hall who can play there like Croft, Cam especially is a good back-rower, plus also young Stavely-Carr coming through. If Griff does go at the end of the season & we do need another who's a similar quality to the main 3, that's where either Croft comes in, or we look for someone else, we'll see.
The other thing looking to next season is quota spots, to get Smoothy in. We're going to have to move someone on, the obvious one is Walmsley imo. So a decent wing option is someone we may be looking out for. Saying all that I know DP rates Jayden Myers very highly and he'll be another year older, so maybe that's how they're thinking.

Agree Faatill is looking the real deal the more he plays ,the Question is who do we leave out of the 17 squad in the forwards when all fit Powell even said he is going to have to make some big decision about the team in a few week when players start returning.
What has impressed me with Faatilli is he hasn’t made any errors. It’s clear there is a player in there somewhere. Now he’s been here a month his minutes have increased to a good 30 minute spell or so. It was 100% the right call to ease him into games and slowly increase his minutes.
It’s a tough call for Powell now Rodwell is nearing fitness and Pitts only has a niggle.
A couple will have to train hard and wait their chance. The likes of Wigan, Saints etc have quality players who miss out but will still train hard and professionally for when they’re needed. That’s about the personality of the player which I hope we have good ones.
Still we have enough quality to rotate a little bit of a forward or two has a niggle so I think we may see minor changes as the weeks go by. The Hull game is a short turn around so players like Scott, maybe Rodwell, Roarke, Walmsley, Russell could ideally give a few pairs of fresh legs and energy options.
I don’t envy Powell but it’s better than the alternative of being down on troops.
I have confidence in pretty much any of our squad to take the field this year.

| If as it seems some Salford players may be available I was looking at their squad today and honestly other than quota players there’s only one I think would be of interest. Joe Sharrocks who plays 13.

| £75,000 apparently. Not a lot for that quality, but the cap space he frees up for Salford is important...until they fold at least.
