I'd take Peter Mata’utia. Only 6 months into a 3 year deal though.

But Leigh are knackered if they don't go up. Pretty sure Beaumont said a few weeks back on the RL Backchat Programme that he'd have to look to get someone else in or sell the club because he couldn't fund the club again on its current wage bill.

Saints are looking at Mata’utia already

Says we've tried Jy and Eden at fullback this season. Not this season if my memory is not tricking me.

I’d be seriously considering Kyle Eastmond. He’s got all the qualities to make a fantastic RL full-back.

a considerable wage packet also.

Indeed. But it’s pretty clear that the full-back is one of the most important positions in modern-day RL.

He is now very injury prone, he hardly played for Wasps during the 2 seasons he was there

Whilst I agree, I think as long as the club conduct a rigorous medical, it doesn’t worry me so much.
You can sign a player who has never missed a game in his life for him to rupture an ACL and be out for a year.
Similarly, look how “injury prone” Webster was at Hull KR but he’s suffered no long lay-offs in his time at Cas.

This season is still salvageable IF we sign a fullback! Tonight highlighted just how make shift Shenton is at the back, granted Hitchcox did very little to help him at the back tonight!

Neither did minikin

[ERG2012]

Minikin needs a wake up call.....
Hitchcox was the better of the 2 and at least he put the ball down properly FFS.....id dare say would have finished the second one as well

[old cas lass]

If jake is fit for next week I’d be putting gill on the wing with Webster in the center.
Minikin is sitting on his laurels, seems very half hearted.
Just bring a championship full back in, let’s get our three quarter line sorted, hopefully Eden will be back next week, but he needs shenny as his center.
Not much we can do with Ellis he as to play. His goal kicking was shabby to say the least tonight.
Forwards went ok, don’t think they were dominated at all.
Just our backs were atrocious.

[tigerfeat]

We got carried away against leeds simple truth was they made us look better than we are
To be at this stage of the season and stil playing without a reconised full-back is madness

[KB80]

I'm coming to the conclusion Eden may be our best option for full back for the rest of the season. Maybe with a decent loanee winger (Manfred is back training and may struggle for game time!)

At least Eden has played their plenty, he's quick, he's a threat and is probably the best chance of regaining fluidity in attack. His defence is poor, but our defence is dire anyway at present.

I'd probably go
Eden
Hitchcox
Webster (Egodu if webbo is still injured)
Shenton
Minikin (following a dressing down)
Trueman
Mcshane
Watts
Milner
JSL
Holmes
Mcmeeken
Massey

Foster
Cook
O Neil
Moors

Vs Hull KR

I think moors will miss next week as he never returned after going off.ideal chance to give mitch clarke ago and see how he goes in SL.eden in minikin out,he had 3 chances to get ball down and failed with every single 1 of them.i think our players has to get abit of passion in their defence there was to many soft trys on our goal line and some times players just didnt make attempt to tackle as though theyd just given up.they all need to take a long look in the mirror and perform way better than what they displayed tonight

[HuddsTigers]

Moors should be ok for next week with a head knock. You can play on the 6th day so the only game you would miss is usually a Thurs game after playing Sunday, providing you pass all the protocols.

If Eden is fit, I’d get both of him and Gill in and go something like:

Eden
Hitchcox
Shenton
Webster
Gill

[Exiled]

So much pressure on FB now. It's a poisoned chalice. I dont think Eden has the minerals to come in after an injury and only a few games this season, to perform at FB. He was never that good there under normal circumstances.

[ERG2012]

Turner
Jy
Shenton
Webbo
Eden/Gill

Time to play a FB at FB
Eden needs to be getting confidence in his strike position
