If Hooley, who has spent his entire career pretty much as a FB, isn’t a better FB than Gannon is SO, then we’ve made a blunder signing Hooley. He should be playing FB and releasing Myler to play in the halves before Gannon is playing at SO.

As Hooley played tonight, Handley must be playing FB tomorrow.

Yeah I'd have to disagree especially as sezers kicking for yardage was so poor. In the absence of another fb it's smith for me too

...yeah, that.

Halls frustrated me all his career doing that though, flying infield off his line flailing his arms at the ball. Hold your shape lad!

But we got beat.
So, using your hindsight philosophy, it was the wrong decision.....

Just play CJ at half whilst we’re a couple of halfbacks down then we don’t have to move Myler and Handley from their best positions.
We can always move Gannon there for the last 20 once we’ve got a comfortable lead…...

Perhaps Smith sees Gannon as the next Paul Sculthorpe?

we have a 13 who can play 6 in cam smith.
bloody stupid playing gannon there. Still, I'm not suprised

You could. If you want the slowest HB in RL history!

Wigan have been playing Shorracks at half back for quite a few games this year (and hooker last year), let's not pretend we are the only team that shifts players around when needed.

I think you're right when we really needed Sezer to step up to help an inexperienced half he flopped yet again,out of the players in the mix for 6 and 7 positions Sezer should not be included he's obviously not interested I'd go with Myler and Cam Smith.

at least smith has a passing and kicking game. the basics you need to play 6

Smith said in his presser that Smith does take on the role of a half back which is what allows Gannon to play a running 6 role.

personally I prefer gannon wide running in the second row.
