Prior as well although 13 seems his best position to start but spells in the front row. Plus Thompson and Donaldson can spell there if required. Maybe we could see Hurrell put a shift in there as well, think ultimately he will end up moving i to the pack at some point.

My apologies did not mean to cause beef, had a few, and i men’t for it to be a bit of a polite Joke. It just bugs me when people get this wrong in todays day and age, but so does Burrowsss (Burrow) and Dr Spock (mr Spock)
And don't get me started on Frankenstein.

He is a pacific islander though.

We can declare him marquee at any time in the future as long as we do not go over the total cap. If we do end up moving him onto marquee gives us £70k (if he us on £220k) to bring in 1-2 other players if required over the next 2 seasons. Makes sense to keep a marquee spit open in case real high quality player comes along mid season.

Ava has been allowed to look for a club back in Australia. If he finds a club he won’t be back.

His girlfriend wants him back in Australia to brink up their family together.

It must be an awful decision to have to make. He performed well last season, he was getting some great reviews, fans were talking highly of him, yet his girlfriend wants to stay in Australia and she wants him to be there.
He is in a no win situation, he has a job here for a few years, no guarantee of a top team at home and a girlfriend who wants him to stay with her. Let’s see what happens.

That explains her very public post on social media where she made it plainly clear she couldn’t wait to go back. Be v surprised to see him back here. They’ve some big decisions to make

His girlfriend has been over here with him, it’s his ex girlfriend and daughter that is over there. His girlfriend is homesick.

Might as well get Hall back to play 2nd row then with Hurrell

I will always bow to agar's and sinfield's superior knowledge, but I will be very worried if hurrell was an option in the second row.hall in the second row would've been even dafter in my opinion.

Spot on why play our most likely to cause havoc in the forwards?
He would probably drop more ball in the pack when tackled anyway.
Leave him at RC with Sutcliffe filling in on the left until Newman is fit.
If Ava goes we need another Ava so to speak plus one more maybe from Fev or get Battye signed up to do the hard graft.

Agreed Sutcliffe should be used as cover for centre and back row.

I do believe that agar is genuinely interested in Sutcliffe being permanent centre and Hurrell in the second row

I'm not Hurrell's biggest fan, but moving him into the back row kills his game. If he plays centre at least he is dangerous from 20m out. Ok, he will probably lose the ball, but he also scores most of our tries from these positions.

I believe Sutcliffe deserves a long run at centre. Hurrell will be centre for good while as Newman is injured, and shouldn't be rushed back. Think you'd will be Hurrell's last year anyway...

Also don't think Ava will find an NRL club, so we may see him back for 1 more year. He'll be plating well to try and get that NRL deal, so would be good for us....
His girlfriend needs to support him, or stay in Oz.

Sutcliffe’s easily best position is centre and he plays very well there. Newman will have to fight for his place back in the side or Hurrell will move into the pack, for the best balance off the side this seems the best option. Ps people keep bringing up hall, but Hurrell seems better suited to a move into the pack than Hall, I just see him scuttling defenders running wide off Gale or sucking defenders in as a dummy runner
