why all this enthusiam for webb playing stand off? To my knowledge he's never played there for any length of time. From what I remember our best games last season were when Sinfield was playing at half-back. And what about us signing Jarred Sammut, was that just wild speculation?

I cannot say I have seen much of Webb at stand off and I quite like sinfield at stand off but I don't have a great deal of a problem
with webby at 6
as for samuratt I believe heatherington has said all the cap space has been used up

The simple answer to your question....

Cover for the cover.

Whilst Sinfield would clearly be better at 6 than Webb in the short term, we'd have a second rower (JJB, Ablett, Clarkson) at Loose for half the season. Whereas if Webb plays 6, we have a specialist, SL experienced Full Back (BJB) to cover him.


Signing a temporary replacement for an injured player is a ridiculous notion IMO for countless reasons.

What about Ali ,kirkie, huarki and Pitts? Are they not in the backrow equation? Keith didn't look out of place in the pack either. With Watkins a year older we have plenty of options

Clarkson is a loose.

HTH.

So is Ablett.

Was



Think he's settled into 2nd row now.

In general most pack places are pretty flexable nowadays particulary in the back 3 no real specialist positions other than hooker who is more like a hb

What's Webb's level of fitness? I'm not convinced he's been right for some time.

Has Webb ever played at 6 for us? Perhaps the Cas game from a couple of years ago where we played all our kids?

Webb has started 105 - 1st grade games for Leeds.

103 - Full-Back
2 - Scrum Half



The Castleford game (28th June 2008) was one of the two he's started at scrum-half (stand-off was Danny Allan) and the other match was V Blackpool (7th May 2010) where Webb helped himself to a handful of tries.
