Ward and Sutcliffe would be in my 17 week in week out if fit and I would have Ablett, Delaney in the second row with Achurch on the bench and no JJB, he has been a great servant but his tackling is awful, misses too many crucial tackles IMO, sad because he is still great going forward.
Often players change positions to find a best fit for their particular strengths or to hide their weaknesses (second rowers moving to prop for example to cover for losing their pace later in their careers).
Delaney is ideally suited to the ball-carrying loose forward role that the likes of Bailey and Singleton filled at times last season. He's also more mobile than both of those. Alongside Ablett and JJB, I reckon that makes a strong back-row combination with a range of skills. Absolutely no need to push him up to playing as a front-rower.
