Agreed, don't want Sykes at stand off. However, I would prefer Sykes at full back to Platt if Kearney is going to be at 6.

I would agree. Sykes also offers a bit more versatility if our injury curse continues on. He is a little more reliable than Addy with the boot as well IMO.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised to see Sykes/Kearney swap between the roles throughout the game. Kearney at FB when we're defending but playing more like a stand off in attack.

That's the spirit

For me, we have to go:

Kearney
Pryce
Purtell
Lulia
Crookes
Addy
Jeffries
Hargreaves
Diskin
MnM
Elima (if he isn't fit enough to start, Walker)
Whitehead
Bateman

L'Estrange
Burgess
Joseph
Walker (unless the above happens then, Elima)

Micks so called insights are being used by Mick as a diversion. Typical!

So thats why the promised audio of the matchs haven't arrived your waiting for me to pick them up?

I'm sure some bright spark out there has the technical know how to help you out there Mick

Potter may be looking at who can slot in the easiest. As sykes has not been playing, he could be training at half back, and im guessing addey and kearney have not been. Makes sense for potter to have sykes training there as backup, after gale got injured.

It would cause less disruption to have Sykes in at 6. Esp if Langley out as Addy will be at 13. Everyone else can stay where they are then.

Or just play Addy at 6 and Elima at 13.

is addy a 6 though? I think addy played well enough at the weekend to start at 13, and he is a 13. That would allow elima to play at 2nd row, which is also his best postion. playing sykes there would mean 1 player out of position, although id be suprised if he has nt been training there. also, we would then have a goal kicker.

Yeah, that's my point really. Sykes at 6 causes minimum disruption to the team that has been gelling pretty well over the last few weeks.
