| Quote Markski55="Markski55"=#40BF00Brown at full back is our best option - he attacks the ball and hence gets us much further up the field than others we have tried there. Our problem is then that we do not have a second centre if he does - I agree Dawson is not a centre.
Naughton looks poor in defence he crucially fell off tackles against Hull KR and would struggle against the Saints wingers.
I am not convinced about Hampshire at 6 - but until he is given a chance we will never know. I am a big Riddy fan, but he looks out of sorts at the minute and there is too much uncertainty about who is Kicking what. I agree with Mr Chairman that Riddy is the most effective with long kicks and bombs. Is it worth giving Reynolds a run at centre? suspect he will be full back on Friday night'"
Who plays at if Brown is FB? Brown to ,Hampshire to FB,Reynolds to miss out.

Hampshire is not a full back in the memory of mon. He is badly exposed and will be peppered with the high ball relentlessly.
Brown plays and he will rightly be FB. Dawson, even Higson to centre.

Reynolds is not a FB either.But seems he can't be dropped for love or money.Don't know why they bothered investing in Hampshire..HELLO he's a halfback.Please try playing him there..

That would be my favoured option too, from what's available. Fingers crossed that Tonga can remain injury-free for the rest of the season, then we can stop mucking about with the full back position - but the guy's recent wretched history of injury does not fill me with hope!

I do not disagree, Hampshire will be at 6 =#FF0000If Brown is fit and Reynolds will be dropped. if Brown is not fit then it will be another case of needs must.
All in my opinion obviously

| I really hope we go Brown at 1 & Hampshire at 6, but without Riddy or Reynolds do we have a decent goal kicker ( if we score any tries  )

Josh Drinkwater kicked goals regularly for London
Danny Tickle used to also kick goals for fun at Wigan. Ryan Hampshire has also kicked a few for them.

| We are all stating our preferred Halfback partnerships however, against HKR Glen Stewart was 1st receiver
I believe this was reducing the ability for Ridyard to influence the game, something he is more capable of than Stewart! We need Glen to concentrate on being a tough no nonsense second rower!
If Josh Drinkwater[u is [/ucarrying a knock then I would put Ryan Hampshire to scrum half and leave Ridyard at Stand off which is, his best and most influential position!
Our pack needs to get switched on from the off, on Friday against HKR we were not tackling like a Super League side
and certainly not, knocking our opponents over! We [umust[/u be strong in the tackle against Saints!
The threequarters are a worry, Brown at FB will provide the strength in defence and return the Ball however, the Centre spot has limited options! I've seen mention of Reynolds playing there  definitely not! its really time we had a Reynolds free week, thats if, the Coaches can bring themselves to do this, I can't believe all four of them favour him ever week ?

| Doesn't matter who we have at half back, if we have one second rower trying to play like a scrum half, and another playing like Atelea Vea. A lack of quality at centre compounds this. Who is the half going to put through a gap, if there's nobody willing to run a line to get through it?
How many tries did we score from Drinkwater / Maitua or Ridyard / Paterson combinations last year? A big reason for our success in the 8s was the fact we had a genuine threat on both sides of the field, where we seem to be back to the same set play, through the full back, which is too predictable.

AJ to Centre for me HRJ .....
he's a big lad, solid, sometimes punishing in defence, it's a no brainer for me.
(Yes I know I am a no brainer).

Bongser thinks that he's touting for a run there anyway, Ste, if his tendency to be sucked off his flank is anything to go by.
