If Delaney moves into the back row permanently then the club will have to go out and sign a new centre. Smith simply isn't a long term option at centre, anymore than someone like Ablett. Good English centres are rare and good Aussies come at a premium so I'd rather things were left the way they are.'"
do you know, despite all my previous horror at the thought, i would now maybe see delaney in the second row .....with ablett at centre....at least he could put out a decent pass to his winger. |

| Because we are really light in the second row position arnt we?! Ali, Kirke, Eastwood and Ablett are all second rowers, are all fit, but for some reason someones calls for a centre to be drafted in  |

Both will be playing stints at prop for the rest of the year I would imagine. Personally, I'd rather see Ambler in there and move one of the two back if needs be.

Not necessarily. BJB can play centre I believe (which might suit some better than the [iridiculous radical[/i idea of Ryan Hall playing there).
I agree Smith and Ablett are not long term solutions but for my money Delaney is even less so. Get him in the second row: his more natural position.
We could even go with Senior and Watkins as the centres partnership in 2011.  |

IMO I don't think Delaney would make a bad back rower at all.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.

No doubt Kirke has seen to it ...by ingratiating himself to all things to do with "coach" and dispassionate reason thus never prevailing.

Players have been able to rest on their laurels and the "squad players" that were brought in have not been anywhere near good enough to challenge for a shirt this season
