Let's have a bit of pace and guile at half back.... Instead of concrete boots and predictability. BJB deserves a stating place.

Wouldn't actually mind that. I've been one in the past I admit to say to people why bother listing Sinfield at Loose but that's when we lessened his tackling in 2011 & '12 to reduce his defensive workload to save him. This year he's averaging 28.....he might as well be back at loose if he's doing those numbers even with a proper hooker now getting decent minutes.

Moon I wouldn't mind there, I don't actually dislike him, he just isn't a centre offensively (defensively he does a good job there). His running style which frustrates me as a centre would be fine a position or two further in from the touch line (if he was a bit bigger he could do a job as a offloading, carrying the ball in one hand interchange 2nd row like we haven't seen since Lautiiti, except he doesn't look like he could run straight and punch holes if need be so ruled that out).

Moon actually started out as a stand off I think, and has played a few NRL games at 6, but I think the chances of him playing 6 under the current regime are very slim.

I would play Aiton at 9, Burrow at 7, Mags at 6 and Sinfield at 13. We need Moon back but if he is still not fit I would go with BJB or Sutcliffe in the centre. If Moon is fit we could rotate the wingers to give BJB a game.

If Moon is fit he should play at LC imo and if Sinfield moves back to 13 then Sutcliffe should play 6 with Burrow at 7 Mags goes onto the bench.

If Moon isn't fit and Sutcliffe's back, I'd be tempted by putting Sutcliffe at centre rather than Ward. It's hard to be sure where either will end up in the long term, but I think centre is a real possibility for Sutcliffe. Not so for Ward.

Moving Moon to SO doesn't seem a long-term option, since it just brings back our centre conundrum. I'd be interested to see it, but we'd need another first choice centre first.

One word: Ablett

(it also seems Bailey is back off the naughty/not naughty step)

19 man squad

Hardaker
Watkins
Moon
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Leuluai
Peacock
Ablett
Sinfield
Ward
Delaney
Bailey
Kirke
Clarkson
Achurch
Briscoe
Sutcliffe
Singleton

Aiton hasn't been able to train this week due to illness still. Bailey returns and BJB misses out.

Would imagine its Clarkson and one other forward to miss out.

Ok, who's going to get in the 17 but not get on the park this week?
My money's on Liam Sutcliffe.

BJB deserves dropping after that none performance last week.
