Who gets the number 7 shirt? : Tue Nov 08, 2022 11:57 am  

Surely we can't start a new season without a number 7? That would be unheard of! So who gets it? Drinkwater? Or is that dead in the water?

Was told by a well connected source that he has already signed.

Announcement this weekend.

Looks to be odds on our No. 7 for next year now.

Having watched Drinkwater over the years and Williams too ... I reckon we will have the best short kick half backs about. Let's hope it happens.

I am a bit hesitant about Drinkwater. Good player but I am sure he has played predominantly on the left side of the field.

So after the mid season England game where Wane played William's on the left, Powell followed and switched William's to the left for us.

So just worried that we are making the same mistakes. I hope that Drinkwater is equally adept at playing on the right edge.
Time will tell.

He only moved to the left to accomadate Maloney who is a dominant half, the same with Mitchell Pierce this year.
Drinkwater is a controlling half but basically hasn't had to control the team because of Maloney and Pierce. He'll more than likely play more of a contolling role for us, letting Williams have more freedom to pick and choose his moments. I think it will be a great combo
