Have you forgotten 2016 when Greg played centre all year and was fantastic throughout in his first chance at SL level? The experience he’s built in the last two years taken back into the position he has played all his life should give us a centre that will make a huge difference.

Given the depth we have in the forwards and Milner opting to re-sign I’d like to see Foster replace Webster next year. I think he has the talent and attitude to give us a like-for-like replacement at no extra cost since he’s already under contract.

PM looked awesome at fullback last night. We have been missing that all year. He has to stay there and finally give us a replacement for Hardaker.

Alex Foster is not a centre. Not quick enough.

Never let us down once when he’s played there this year. If he was playing there permanently he could play at a lower weight and it would help his speed. Remember he has at times played prop for us this year too.

Alex Foster is not a prop. Not big enough ;) ;) ;)

Let’s just say he’s versatile.

I’m not saying he is a prop?! I’m saying he’s playing at a heavier weight because he has played all over the park this year, including at prop. If he were permanently a centre he would lose weight and gain speed. Simple really, not sure what you’re struggling to understand.

We're still trying to source a full back for 2019 so Powell must want Pete to go to right centre next year.

Yeah great debut,good voice behind the line,read the game well,and chimes in the line at the right times.what I liked about the tackle on ratchford was how easy he made it look.the timing was spot on and he let ratchford make the first move before wrapping him up.very good.now to get galey in place of Ellis,Milner and hopefully JSL back on the pitch and we can really push on for old Trafford.think these next 2 weeks with no game could be vital to our season.great time to tidy a few things up and sharpen up some moves

Is Mata'utia injured again? No mention by Powell in post match but he recieved some treatment in second half and went off for Turner. Hope he is ok.
Jesse 3 weeks in brace but will be available before end of season. No mention of Roberts. And Powell said Gale not going to be rushed back so that suggets he may not play next game either.

I assumed that given we had Turner on the bench the plan was probably always to bring him off before the end, it’s his first SL game at FB and they will want to give him a chance to rest where possible.

Don't think there's a chance. Would demand a massive wage. Would more likely be Mark Kheirallah or someone like that.

I heard an interview where DP said Pete Mata’utia was taken off as a precaution, as he had a slight strain, DP added that nothing to be too concerned about though.
