I'm pretty sure Hicks has more rugby in him. I wonder how long his retirement will last?



Just out of interest does anyone fancy putting in a few quid to give a very good cause some publicity? The dogs trust sponsoring Monaghan would be priceless.

So who is actually going to play centre for wire next year?

As far as I can see, there's 4 players and 2 centre slots, so will wee see Bridge to 1/2 back, King on the wing or Atkins at 13?

Monaghan, Bridge, Atkins, King



or



King, Monaghan, Atkins, Riley



All pretty versatile which gives us good depth.

Monas and King to the wings, Bridge and atkins 3&4 imo

Bridge is an out an out centre as Riley is an out an out winger the rest are interchangeable so i think we'll see a lot of moving about probably even in the same game.



Doesn't matter though we have a great set of backs this season, the strongest i've seen at Wire for some time

I'm a huge fan of Bridge in the centres, so wouldn't like to see him moved. I know Atkins has played 13 for you and to be honest I think that could be a good position for him. He's got the muscle and would add some zip and pace to a pack which has plenty of size. He also would be defending a bit closer to the middle, which may suit him better.

Obviously you see them more often, so will have a better idea.

Bridge played a few at 13 this season, just popping up here and there.

Definately the best centre we've got though, well, see how Monas goes.

Bridge will spend half the season in hospital as usual.

Next to Eastmond?

Eastmond has a room reserved for him

Nah, he just rooms with Gary Wheeler as he's got a suite at BUPA because he's there that long.

Brilliant signing.
