Delaneys best place would be somewhere around Sydney. Senior is a centre, full stop.

I remember a time when some on here were adamant JP was not a prop.

Bravo ! My point many times. Just because a player is presently recognised in a certain position it doesn't mean he will always remain there. Think outside the box guys. Think Hanley, Schofield, Ellis and Pryce etc etc.

Delaney to second row; Hall to centre and then later into back row; Smithy to stand off (maybe not now.....but you just wait and see

)

More guff from The Stanks Tramp

'Heaps' of it....but am afraid my tramp (and cock beck) days are over.

I'm not seeing Smith at stand off to be honest. I don't think he's got the passing game. I can certainly see Senior spending a large part of next season in the second row with Smith, BJB and Watkins covering centre between them. I don't think we'll see Delaney in the 2nd row, not now anyway, but I believe it will happen in the long term, in much the same way as Phil Bailey moved into the 2nd row.

All of this would be better left to next season now though.

Of course....don't disagree with that at all. Too late this season.

Smithy is still young....he has time to improve his passing game. It might never happen of course, but I would never rule out anything as others are all too willing to do.

Would rather see the centre options as you suggest ......even Ablett before Delaney next season. (Delaney could even be a future prop for me.

)

To be a little bit fair to Delaney he's possibly better on the left side than the right. But he really is the sort of player that at best ought to be signed by lower placed clubs than ones hopefully competing for the title. I was underwhelmed by his signing and the mere fact that moving him into the forwards is being discussed (albeit by fans and possibly not by the coach) says it all.

On Delanney - I wonder what is sapping his energy - his mind doesn't seem to be on the job

After watching the match again....thinking he might have been trying to emulate his mate Luke if not to play prop (which is feasible) then certainly for the feat of dropping the ball.

There's no harm in trying different options - good to have that versatility. Would like to see someone with pace in the three-quarters next season though now Scotty D won't be with us.

I think Ablett has played his best for us at loose forward and we look a more balanced team with Sinny at 6 & McGuire at 7 (Sinny's form has dropped considerably since returning to LF). I would also prefer to see Rob Burrow on the bench to cover 6, 7 & 9 - ineliminating the need for 2 specialist hookers in the 17 (cue outrage from certain Southstanders....!)
