surely he wont get a starting spot this week based on monday, clearly not match fit. Bench spot at best and bring him on in late stages when he might be able to take advantage of a tiring opposition.

Cook was originally a centre wasn't he?

Think he has to be in in order to get some match fitness, but from the bench as an impact player agreed.
He has the ability to turn the game. If he doesn't drop the ball that is...

yep but bulked up a bit since then. always looked more at home in 2nd row imo. has covered in past for us during games so is an option.

Why on earth do people have this obsession of wanting to see Michael Platt play centre? I just can't see the benefit. Same with Tame when he was here as well. Hasn't that Hyde lad played a bit of halfback? Didn't he get selected for England as a 6? Personally for this weeks game I would go with this line up.

Halley. Sheriffe. Sykes. Menzies. Tadulala. Solomona. Jeffries. Kopczak. Newton. Lynch. Cook. Burgess. Langley. Subs. Worrincy. Scruton. Whitehead. Platt.

at standoff, surely you jest

He's played a bit of 7 but not for over 18 months. He was the fullback for the England Academy.

Tom Olbison arrived at the club as a .

Solomona definitely shouldn't play Stand Off, he makes enough errors in the second row.

Solomona doesn't deserve a starting spot after last week's "performance".

He needs to earn his place.

Spot on

He was off the pace, clumsy and mediocre. The guy's been nothing more than that over his whole time at the club

Strictly, he doesnt deserve a spot in the 17 after last week's performance. He had an 80% error rate.

I'm sure his awful error rate had a lot to do with him being brought back from shoulder injury too early?

At least I hope that was the main reason.

I thought his error rate was due to the poor choices he made. I cant believe that any other player coming back from injury would decide to attempt killer offloads on their first four carries.

As for being brought back from injury too early, he was certainly brought back before shedding the excess 2 stone that he is carrying. I'd be inclined to send him off to fat farm and terminate his contract unless he gets himself fit.
