Good memories of the following few months though

When did our 1 loss in 13 games begin?

Following Bad Friday, we thrashed Widnes to start the run

Thought it was. The Lee Briers show IIRC. That song with "Never lose again" in was on the radio all the time at work and it was fitting

mine would be
1 Riley
2 Hicks
3 Johnson
4 Bridge
5 King
6 Briers
7 Monaghan
8 Morley
9 Higham
10 Carvell
11 Westwood
12V,Anderson
13 Harrison

14 Rauhihi
15 L.anderson
16 Wood
17 Clarke

VAnderson, Bridge or Grix in the centres? Please feel free to discuss the relative merits of each candidate!

I'd play Bridge at left centre. I thought him & King were fine against Wakefield. I know Vinnie got a brace at the weekend, but that was at right centre. I wouldn't be against him playing right centre, PJ left centre, my only problem with this being your moving PJ from a position he's shown some form in recently, and he & Hicks should be left to try and get some sort of understanding.

Having said all of the above I see little reason to drop Grix. He's been solid, I just find him a tad boring to watch, but maybe there's something to be said for 'safe' at times. I just think Bridge offers you a bit more, I'd fancy Bridge to make a break, offload, pass around the corner etc, I'm not sure Grix has that in his locker.

I think you are doing Grix a dis-service. He may not be as exciting as Bridge, but then not many playrs are.

Personally I'd go with Riley, Hicks, Johnson, Grix, King/Penny, Bridge and Briers in the backs.

I thought Bridge has done well in the last couple of games, and Briers has been on form, so let's keep them in the halves.

Maybe so, I do like him, he just bores me. I know it sounds daft like, he's just slow & I never feel like he'll make a break or put his winger away or, y'know. I totally dig the job he does for the team, and he's certainly tightened up what was a problem area for us, so I'm down with that.

I'm presuming Monas is fit, if he's fit, I think He & Briers will start.

With that in mind, I'd play Bridge left centre. Should you lose a half 'in game' you can shift Bridge in there, move Vinnie to centre etc.

Grix more of a defensively minded centre choice, Bridge more attacking?

Exactly that, I just wasn't as concise. I think Bridge offers you more as a package at left centre. If he gets his head right, and with that Smith ends up liking him, he could be brilliant for us.

Grix is in top form
