No, playing someone capable of the postion.

In our case, it's been a massive plus, as capable.

yes coz no centre ever switched to stand off successfully did they, (schofield lauire Daley, Brad Fittler and the rest)

True enough. Though while there's clearly been coaching issues, Hudd's demise can be traced back almost directly to that Ryan Hall try. Until then they were still a top side.

Wonder where they'd be now had they won/drawn that game?

I agree with you and also with your previous comment about the challenging teams consistently having a decent half back. Last season other sides suffered with injuries but being able to play an organiser at half back was often the difference between a win or a lose for them which we were unable to replicate. Gale at Cas makes average players look outstanding and without him they are nothing like as good.

Moon may not be the complete halfback but he is such a good all round player and has been our most effective centre for some time and is currently our best 6. He has been a major factor in a dramatic improvement in our attack which has turned our season around. He has assisted a return to form for both McGuire and Watkins by creating space and putting defences in two minds.

Quite why anyone wants to risk moving him I do not understand.

I'd be loath to moving him, so hopefully we get some backs returning this week like Golding, Sutcliffe & Briscoe otherwise it's hard not to return him to centre otherwise.

Like you said he's not the complete HB, far from it actually. But he's unpredictable and that's difficult for an opposition to plan for and suits how we like to play.

ken davy hasnt given up, never under estimate the man, he has put more money into the giants this season than ever, he recently said that in a letter in the local paper.

our downfall is the guy working under him ... mr thewlis who seems to make all the decisions and been getting so much wrong

McIntosh likely to be banned for this one, no EGP available to him.
Does that mean Murphy will come in to replace him?
Any Rhinos injury news, players coming back?
Parcell obviously since he was rested for the cup game.

i'd prefer to keep moon in the halves but if needs must one game back at centre won't harm. lilley was pretty good on friday

Moon has been outstanding in the halves, perhaps it's because he's not a traditional half and defenders really are not used to it and don't know what to expect. He may be creating a different type of half. Interesting to see above somebody mentioning Brad Fittler and Schoey coming from centre to half. Wouldn't want to compare our modern day players to them but Moon has some really bamboozling footwork that must be a nightmare to defend against.

I would still like to see him create a bit more, he is really just attacking like a fullback imo, hopefully he is doing some extras after training to improve his long passing and short kicking game

he hasn't a passing game, nor a kicking game. however he gets his hand on the ball more and is a very elusive runner. a massive threat with ball in hand

Magsy is alongside him doing the cutout passes and the kicking. At the moment it's working. I haven't a Scooby who does what at training, but I'm sure that all eventualities are covered......unless someone tells us otherwise.
