The scenario was "either/or".

Connor has tweeted that Kearney is likely to play but Scruton needs another week.

Call me pessimistic, but I can see a return to the silly scenario of Shad and BK sharing 1 and 6 duties..

With 3 fit half backs we can only hope he plays Kearney at FB. But Shad doesnt deserve to be dropped. Maybe to be played in Centres, either way it will be a interesting squad selection come Sunday

I'd go for Kearney and Jeffries to point the team around the field. If those 2 can form a decent partnership then we could have some real speed attacking the line. I know this means playing one slightly out of position but it could work??

Also..... Just watched the highlights against Harlequins. Jeffries seems to make a clean line break in every game he has played. I know everyone was a little down when he signed but he seems a different player to the one that was signed previously. Seems to have much more freedom in his game.

Our attack seems much better but I'm still not convinced by the defence.

We're looking like being very light up front Presumably Langley or Elima will have to do a stint at prop?

Shad will be staying at FB. Kearney into the halves with Jeffries.

seems a shame not to utilise briggs' kicking game. IF we do go kearney/ jeffries hope we dont continue the swapping idea. If kearneys playing SO then he plays it in attack and defense.

FB) Royston
W) Ah Van
C) Platt
C) Crookes
W) Raynor
SO) Kearney
SH) Jeffries
P) Lynch
H) Diskin
P) Kopczak
SR) Elima
SR) Whitehead
L) Langley

B) L'Estrange
B) Burgess
B) Olbison
B) Addy

Agree that it is hard on young Kyle mate but you can't keep out one of the best players of the last three weeks or move him out of his favoured position IMO.

It's a shame about Herbert but such is life.

shifting royston to strengthens a weak spot in team and allows us utilise kearney in his best position and use kicking briggs kicking game. seems more logical to me.

Seems pretty spot on, problem area in centre strengthend by a good solid player, as long as his positional sense is good at centre and slides instead of stepping up by himself (platt). kearney briggs Jefferies all 3 can cause problems and can create space for each other. Best combination in my eyes

Which side would you move him to? He doesn't look like a left centre to me and Ah Van has played well on the right.

I don't disagree that Briggs, Jeffries at half is best and BK is an exciting option attacking from FB but it just feels like a lot messing about. We're never the same set up/structure 3 weeks running. Bringing Herbert back in was strange and now we're thinking of changing the SH, FB, one of the centres and as I'm assuming we're not dropping Whitehead or Ah Van either a second row option or a winger.

Even when playing reasonably well and winning, Salford moved the ball across the park better and quicker than we did because they are more familiar with their attacking structure. Just as we're fighting for a little bit of form we're shifting most of the key pivots in the backline. I'm not sure this is wise.
