A logical option that would provide a better balance would be for Sinfield, McGuire & Burrow to play in their regular positions (13, 6 & 7) and then if Buderus needed a break move Sinfield to 9 where he could continue to play a key role.

IMO Sinfield could well finish his career in the 9 position and he already had an outstanding international appearance at hooker which is now one of the most influencial positions.

Exactly.

Do you dress burlesque too ?

I think the problem here is that if Danny Mags was back to his pre-injury level, then Sinny would be back at loose like a shot, BUT Danny Mags is nothing like his pre-injury best. He is far too eager to offload at the first chance he gets, and seems very reluctant to run the ball in through opposition lines like the Mags of old, and how many times since he did return has he gone down with a dead leg type thing with even the most innoccous of contacts? The simple fact is, from what I've seen Danny is nowhere near his previous level and Brian Mac has seen this too, and hence he sees Sinny as the best option available with the current situation as it is.

So are you saying we are limited to only Sinfield or McGuire at SO ?

Think again my friend .....!!!! We DO have at least one more alternative(Ask Andy R)

No we have choices, Burrow, Mcshane, Bedsy (for now!), Liam Hood eventually, but not Zak, whose best positions for me are either FB or wing. But Sinny is a leader who can still lead the team around even from SO, better than any of the others I have mentioned above, in my opinion.
