Danny McGuire - a Leeds legend in my book - has been one of my favourite players at Leeds, but sadly I think his playing days are numbered. He has lost his electrifying pace and that dazzling sidestep that led to so many tries. I'd be looking to use him, but only if we have injuries at 6 or 7.
Stevie Ward? Hmmm, not yet. He promised much but thus far he has been pretty average. Same applies to Clarkson, sadly.
Quote: Jonesy's a Legend "6 - Hardaker ???
Would this be the same Hardaker who couldn't pass or set up his winger when he played centre?
The same Hardaker who whilst has many great attributes at FB (kick return, catching, defence) doesn't come close to the half back style contribution that Webb did when he was here?'"
Oh he can pass, I think he just had a tendency to keep the ball when he played centre rather than pass it (maybe greed got the better of him or he wanted to impress everyone with his running.) I believe he has played SO before and he does have the potential to be very good as he can also kick, but I've really put him there because I think that BJB is a superb prospect for FB and shouldn't be overlooked.

| Having watched Hardaker play in the halves on Boxing Day, I wouldn't be in any great hurry to see him play there again thanks.

Hardaker is a finisher, not a creator. Also BJB doesn't have nowhere near the catching & defensive abilities for FB like Hardaker.
1 - BJB
6 - Hardaker
or......
1 - Hardaker
6 - Sinfield
I'll go for the latter thanks.

| Here's mine:
1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe - he has to play as the big off season signing
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield - he will have to play there no other logical position
7. McGuire - a good off season should see him right
8. Singleton
9. Aiton
10.Peacock
11.Ablett
12.Ward
13.Sutclife
14.Burrow
15.Leulaui

| its interesting to see a few people have picked Delany at prop, that would be some transition from a centre to back row to prop. The way the game is changing and getting faster I wonder if we will start to see more smaller faster and mobile props?

| Harvey Howard went from winger to prop. Kurt Sorensen was as a centre. Might be wrong but didn't Eorl Crabtree start his career in the centres? It does happen. Also remember Andy Farrell loose-forward to stand off to prop and then back to centre in RU.
And of course there's Paul Gill.

| Often players change positions to find a best fit for their particular strengths or to hide their weaknesses (second rowers moving to prop for example to cover for losing their pace later in their careers).
Delaney is ideally suited to the ball-carrying loose forward role that the likes of Bailey and Singleton filled at times last season. He's also more mobile than both of those. Alongside Ablett and JJB, I reckon that makes a strong back-row combination with a range of skills. Absolutely no need to push him up to playing as a front-rower.

| Would imagine Ben Westwood has played once or twice at prop or at least had a spell there during a game.
