Quote: Rob Wire "That team doesn`t look strong in the backs, i wouldn`t want Johnson anywhere near the side never mind in the centres. By playing Bridge at 6 you lose a lot of his potential threat as he looks far more comfortable in the centres, his defence out wide has been very good.
Our strongest line up considering Grix is out would be to put Clarke at 7 to partner Briers, Michael Monaghan was an 80 min hooker in the NRL and he has shown he has the fitness to do this, he can be given a break during the game if need be by switching Clarke to hooker.'"
I agree, Johnson has been poor this year really poor. Bridge has looked great in the centres he can beat players with his footwork, i little like whats his name... erm... he went to wigan and he isnt going to Wembley!!??
Id prefer to put Mona's down as number 7 on the teamsheet and clarke at 9, then switch them like in the semi's
