maybe. i said to rhinoms the other night i still wasn't sure what hardakers best position was yet

I think Hardaker wants to play in the halves. I think he has the ability in him and do we start moulding him now as a replacement for Mags as he isn't getting any younger.

Can't see that mate not with the emergance of Sutcliffe and eventual return of Ward.
Again i completely agree with Tad re-signings etc but thinking back once or twice this year Bjb has re-iterated his desire to play FB plus IF it is Wire he's departing to im sure it will be a good ££ offer for him.

I've always thought that Zac look more like a half than a full back, and IIRC didn't BJB come through the academy as a full back?

Hardaker started as a halfback in his amateur days.he played at 6 in his first game for Leeds in the u20's and looked very good.

Darryl Powell always said he thought he'd (Zac) would end up at 6.
For me though i think he could play there but eventually i'd like to see Sutty at 6 with Ward at 13.
P.S-Yes Tad you did mention Hardaker on tuesday night.

I think people have gone way over the top on Sutcliffe. Done ok the lad and doing his job. But no way is our long term stand off, said for months that will be Lilley. Not even sure Sutcliffe will be long term full stop. He's not in the class of Ward before him.

Gotcha-I'm not going to get into a t!t for tat name calling exchange but yer way off and not least writing him off way too early.
Firstly he hasn't been given the "full" 6 role as yet i.e required to control our kicking game and create/give quick ball out wide which i can understand the Coach not asking him to run the show straight away.
We've seen just a small glimpse of thim thus far plus recently he's been coming on and used as a BR out wide which again is not his game.
Also re-Lilley he too can cover 6/13 and whilst i think he has the potential to make it also he's still way imo 2/3yrs away but of course that could change.

lilley is 16. long way to go yet. can be outstanding at that age and drop away.
he was outstanding on tuesday but lets see what time does.

sutcliffe has been very good so far. these games will give him great experience. got high hopes for the young man. wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at 13 although i think he has the hands to make a top class centre

There is no t!t for tat, or writing him off for that matter, I said he was doing an ok job, which he is. I just said, no way will he be our long term stand off.

I don't think Lilley will be 2/3 years, but even at that, is that not well within long term? I mean McGuire could well still be playing in 2 years.

I would love to see Sutty have a run at as he looks very dangerous and hard to handle whilst running out wide

I'd agree with tad on signing Briscoe. He's a quality player - and I think we might well see him in top form again wherever he ends up next year, once his future is sorted. But wing just isn't an area we need to strengthen particularly urgently, unless BJB has expressed a desire to leave, which would change things.

On Hardaker, he might well make a 6, but he's looking so good at 1 at the moment it'd seem a shame to move him.

Sutcliffe has really impressed me. Lot of work to do. I think he might well end up in the pack or centre, depending what happens to his speed when he fills out (which he looks like he still will).

Will be a fantastic signing for you, never gets a pass at Hull, will score loads outside of Moon or Watkins.

Still only 23, works so hard for the team, has a few faults, but his positives far outweigh his negatives and I expect him to get back form next year.

Absolutely.
A full back with leanings towards stand off, who can chime into the attack, is a great asset to have, a la Webb but without the tendency to take people's heads off.

It's all very well having a stack of potential 6's ... but it would seem that, as long as Sinfield is playing for Leeds, the position is taken.

Briscoe would make an excellent addition to the already strong three-quarter line up but hasn't the CEO more or less said there will be no new signings for the 2014 season? www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... -1-5754990
