Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif

Excellent combo but Bradford haven't got a 6 and Menzies can play there.

Langley isn't a 13 so play Morrison there, I seem to remember him playing there for Parramatta and Country/City?

Also get rid of Rikki Sherriffe, his positional play is appalling and Matt Cook is stealing a living. Michael Platt is really dodgy to say the least.

Not sure about your views on Cook.

Jeffries is a 6, he played scrum half because of injuries.

Langley might be better in the second row but he`s a fair loose forward as well. I guess Morro could play either position too but he too is currently injured. Sam played loose quite a bit last year and played well there. To be honest I think we put young players in a positional `bag` far too early, imo it`s still too soon to say what will turn out to be Sam`s best position.

I`m not a big fan of Rikki (it`s difficult when you`re comparing wingers to Big Les and TV) but his positional play on defence is poor at times, though I recollect that being said about Big Les too.

I`m not sure what you mean about Cookie, to me he`s one of the most improved players over the last season, he always seems to make yards and I thought (until Friday night) that he`d got rid of his habit of giving penalties away. Still, I`ll take that as a one night aberration.

Platty, again has his problems, and to be honest I don`t like him exposed at full back. However he has his strong points too and like many players I get the impression he thrives on confidence and that`s clearly in very short supply so far this year.

I think he must walk around wagging a big black stick in front of himself.

Burgess in my books is a second row forward, he's to fast, agile and skillful to be playing prop, well at least he was before he bulked up so much. I'm not sure where your getting Cook's penalty habit from either, he's possibly the most disciplined forward Bulls have and hardly ever gives penalties up, he never has. Nor does he make a lot of errors as many seem to believe.

Welcome back Sam icon_biggrin.gif

Genuinely pleased to see him looking so good again (even though it was at our expense).

Love watching him play when he's on his game.

Slammin Sam is looking much more like the player we know now he is now he's playing in the second row. That's the position he makes the biggest impact, but I understand we often need him to do a job up front. Another big prop to allow Big Sam to play second row every week would be splendid.

Left side second row is his best position. Although he's shown good skills in all positions.

Its good to have him back playing his best
