Well Hampshire is just about the only realistic option at half and hasn't looked too bad when given the opportunity

Don't think you need to worry about Higson playing- believe his season may be over

McNally to halfback, Brown Fullback, Corey Centre.

Now that is an interesting concept !!

My preference would be Hampshire as he runs in hard and has pace but his passing isnt exactly that of Darren Lockyer !!

BUT, Greg is a natural halfback, great passer and create gaps with ball in hand. I recall him as a kid having a wonderful passing game at Whitehaven and tore us to shreds in the last ever game at Hilton Park !!

Brown is a better fullback than Centre.

What has happened to Crooks ?

Higson ??? with the sounds of it his attitude has become as bad as his golf !!

Warrington are not cracking any pots and were very very poor against London who chanced their arm and created alot of opportunities. If we go into our shell and play with anxiety, i can see us getting absolutely pummelled !!

With Halifax and London coming up, the MPG may well become a distant dream as London WILL fancy their chances against us !

Sami Langi is a stand off.

We have got to add more aggression and pace on Saturday! My suggestion of Hampshire at Hooker was based on his direct running and his enthusiasm, he always wants the ball which, is not a bad thing! Reynolds for instance is to quick to pass the ball on, its as though he is unaware he's supposed to be our play maker!
The fact Wane and Powell didn't keep Hampshire is irrelevant in fact, on his way to scoring his try in our thrashing of Wigan, I'm sure I saw him wave to Wane as he past the dugout Wane didn't keep Scott Taylor too and I only saw him play that one game for us on loan at Fev when, he inspired our pack to victory following Parkers late withdrawal
As for Hampshire being 'dominated' I thought he had been out with a former Man U player Ive over 60 years watching the game and that's a new one on me just goes to show, your never too old

Playing golf with Hock.

We presumably have to replace Mortimer and Reynolds on Saturday. I think it best not to make wholesale positional changes to cater for that. For me, it would be Hampshire to stand off - ironically the position he was clamouring for, when he was deemed 'out of favour' ( ) and Hood or Pelissier at hooker. Let's keep it simple - they would be 'like for like' replacements.

I suppose the begging question being,is Hampshire available? Sure we will find out shortly.

Your right it is irrelevant it's what Jukesy wanted that matters, and he wanted Hampshire that much he phoned him up in Aus where he was on holiday and told him the half back position was his if he signed, haven't a clue what's going on as to why he can't get a game at all never mind in the backs, but the kid has got all the attributes your asking for maybe it's time for Jukesy to give him another chance.

I'm sure NJ's brought him in to do just that job. Unfortunatley forced changes due to injuries and spitting out of dummies,forced him to re-think and resovle the situation.That came at cost of playing players out of their primary positions or the position they wanted.

Now a true professional should be able to deal with that scenario and accept it. It's been quite obvious this season some can and some can't.

Could not agree more the club should be more important than a player's ego, I'm sure you and others on here will know more of what's going on than most of us, hopefully your luck will change for what's left of the season, because one things for sure you haven't had much up to now, and irrespective of the rumours regarding the coaching staff and the players the fans certainly deserve a lot better, and lets hope the players do it for you on Saturday.

Not 'available' apparently.

Unless he's now refused to play stand off!

I asked Hampshire if he had fallen out with the club, personally, as he walked across the Car Park with Ben Crookes on Sunday. He just sort of smiled although, I did say to him that thought he could have done better! he just said thanks!

Well we certainly have had a few who have just said thanks,these last few seasons. Lets hope we are left with the cream.
