[QUOTE="Geordie, post: 813166, member: 71380"] Simon Uzokwe is on loan at Darlington again this season so wont play for us. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Falcons players to watch: Evan Olmstead very physical yet athletic in the pre season games. A big lock who players for Canada. As many have mentioned Will Witty has also been VERY physical in the preseason games. Add in Sean Robinson and our lock stables are very good indeed. I would watch out for Josh Chisanga. Hes a Kenyan international. We signed him at the end of last season.The boy is pure physicality...imagine a young raw larger version Nii latu our tongan back rower. He's already a crowd favourite after the preseasons. Our pack this season will be VERY physical, aggressive and will carry way better than in previous years. Our scrum will be rock solid as will the lineout. We will cause teams a lot of problems in the forwards. The problem is the backs however. We have et to decide who our starting 10 is. I just don't rate Delayney at all...I would start our young 10 Craig Willis. He could be very very good...but we've been playing him at 12 in preseasons. I hope they don't think about switching him to cover our lack of centres! Centres are the biggest worry. JPS and Chris Harris are solid. Powell (whos also just solid) is out for the season we think, and Waldouck just inst an inspiring signing. That leaves us with Penny, Stevenson and Redman, three VERY talented kids but with very little experience. I hope he doesn't look to play Goneva at 13. Wings - Amongst the best in the league. Sinoti, Goneva, Marcus Watson and Zac Kibirige and another young potential starlet on the way...Dan Marshall. We just need to give them the ball and good opportunities. [/QUOTE]
