It has been mooted....and I think I am coming round to the idea. Of course a lot will depend on how Faloon develops and any possible extended contract. However, having our future captain leading by example up the middle has got to be at least a better option than the discredited Burrow option. (Most agree I think - myself included - he is a better impact off the bench irregularly jumping in at DH option)

Stevie could be our new late 70's captain fantastic 'Ward' (surely Leeds' second best ever captain?)

When all fit we have a plethora of back row forwards but perpetually struggle at hooker if choice number 1 goes down. It will also allow Sutcliffe to move to LF and Golding thus to SO half

FFS

That guy seriously needs to get laid!

It has been a few weeks ...are you offering?

Deep down you know I'm right

Give it a rest.

Totally agree, it could well be his best position, he is too small to play 13 and too skilful to be stuck in the second row, think he should be spelled at dummy half when falloon needs a rest to see how he goes

He is still a long way off returning to play anywhere

I can be persuaded to give him a run at hooker but i actually think his development at 13 is quite exciting. We missed him for the semi and final as hed been playing really well imho. Think he should stick to the back row. He might be undersized but christ he plays above his weight.

No just no.

Needs to play at loose forward. Too skilful for 2nd row. Can understand people wanting him at hooker, but no, we have Falloon

...but when we don't have Faloon? Short term, or long term if he doesn't re-sign?
Are you happy with his apparent default replacement playing there?

Not. A. Chance

Watch last years games again, I think even though he got rave reviews, we still underrated him. I've watched a few games back and his performances really jumped out both in attack and defence. Special player that needs to played in a position he will continue to develop into not messed around ala Pryce at Bulls!

I'd have Lilley at hooker if Falloon isn't available. Ward has the potential to be a world class loose. He has all the attributes.

....but Lilley is another one that can't defend up the middle; again disrupting the fringe defences. It solves nowt if Faloon is not available.
