Definitely. Might need him to the end of the season looking at Shannon last night. Hopefully just a bad case of cramp or a twisted ankle but didn't look nice.

Please for heavens sake leave JT where he is, we signed him as a centre so give him a chance to be one!

Quite simply has to be Swift/Fleming for me if we don't do something with Locke.

Percival to FB is the only option for me. Think he will be a revelation there to be honest.

Dawson and Fleming on the wings if Swift isn't fit and you could make a case to try Wellington out on the wing to ease him in.

Percival catches all Dawsons high bombs, if you play Dawson you can't move Percival.

Turner is an interesting thought though

Trying to avoid a Jones/Dawson partnership we need to keep Percival and Turner in the centres.

Time for Ricky Bailey to step up. We've tried him once in the first team, out of his main position. I don't see the sense of reshuffling the back line to accommodate one position. Gotta throw the kid in if Shannon is injured.

Something just doesn't seem right with putting Jones at fullback.

Look, sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet and run with the kids. At the end of the day, they're getting paid to play professional rugby league. Sure, it's potentially risky. But there's no guarantee that either Turner or Jones can cut it at full back, either.

We had 2 good partnerships going in Turner/Swift and Percival/Makinson we,ve lost one already can,t see the point of losing the other one by placing Turner at full back. The other option might be Percival at full back, Dawson has had decent defensive games at centre so you could have Fleming on the wing to take the high kicks but Fleming might not see much ball coming from Dawson. Its possible Burns working a bit wider on the Dawson side to balance things up.
My original suggestion of Jones at full back was purely experimental and least disruptive to the back line.

I do like the sound of Turner at FB.

However, I think the option that we will go for is.

Dawson to FB and Fleming on the wing.

If Swift is out long term then maybe turner to FB and Jones to centre.

I don't really want to move him, but when ever Percy has to take a high ball, he takes it very well.

Dawson is useless under the high bomb though.

I'm sure he'd do a good job there, but he's so good at the specialist subtleties of the centre position that I'd rather see him stay there if possible. It's probably going be a case of 'needs must', though.

The other problem is, whilst he has the ability to catch well, its probably not something he thinks about all that much. Select hm at full back and (maybe) he spends all week thinking about the pressure of the high balls he's going to get. That gooses him on match day and ruins his confidence going forward on a number of issues. You need to know Percy personally to tell whether he's got the personality for it, or whether itd be best just leaving him to do his thing at centre.

Leeds often move Watkins to #1 when needed, although they put Sutcliffe there t'other day.

Jones can't play fullback mate. He's not got any of the qualities needed at all.

The way its going at full back its like picking a "sacrificial lamb" for that position knowing there is a very high risk of a season ending injury a few games down the line. Least disruptive is probably giving Fleming the honour.
