that depends notts, was he left out because fages was better than him (i don't think so) or were there other reasons?

I just think Alf we were 80 minutes from semi with a attack that had no clue how to break teams down, I know other teams may improve next year but we should at least hold our own with better options in backs...but we will see

Gale knew which pass to throw when we got near the line. Think last season we didn't have that experience which really showed. Reckon Richardson will make a big difference, old head on young shoulders. Plus Trueman working the other side :dance:

Maybe, and he wouldn’t be the first player to do well after leaving Saints.

Anyone watch the Knights game?? How did Richardson get on?

I've seen Minikin got MOM and a hat trick playing on the right wing.

He was never a centre!!!

I went to the game today and thought Richardson was strong in the first half but fell away a bit in the second. Tbf the whole team went down a notch when Sam Powell was off. His goal kicking was pretty superb. Mostly from the sidelines.

He looked very good in the first half and had a hand in the first four tries with quick accurate passing. Kicked the first four all from the touch line as well. Minikin took his hat trick well and I think got man of the match. smithies should have been sent off second half for a late and high shot on the kicker, Sam Powell went well and also did the Steel Band which made a refreshing change at Headingley. All this and home 10 minutes after the Final whistle, back in Tiger Towers in Tamla Moortown.

Im hoping he moves to right side with Mcmeeken and takes Trueman with him leaving us with Richo Shenny n Eden to get us back to our 2017 style of attack.
Agree.

Since saints have been the best team for the last 2 years, Richardson will be bringing new moves with him.

Would also return balance back to the side by having a right footed kicker on the left and a left footed kicker on the right.

Richardson has tended to be used on the right by Saints, and it’s where he looks better from the games I have seen.
I’d be going with Richardson, McMeekan, Shenton/Mata’utia and Feki on the right, with Trueman, Sene-Lafeo, Blair and Eden on the left.

Feki looks to play primarily left.

Bit of a quandry really as most teams attack more to the left, so you want a strong right edge defence.

I'd say our strongest defensive edge would be

Feki
Blair
Mcmeeken/Griffin
Trueman

Our strongest attacking edge option imo is

Feki
Shenton
Mcmeeken/Lafao
Richardson

Also could be argued that some players seem to favour or look better at one side:

Feki (L)
Eden (L)
Mcmeeken (R)
Griffin (R)
Trueman (R)
Richardson (R?)

All things considered I could see:

R - Feki, Blair, Mcmeeken, Trueman
L - Eden, Shenton, Lafao, Richardson

Great to get Danny on board at last.

Wish him all the best & he will be busting a gut to prove himself.

Good news.
