unless we get a better replacement then stand off, if we do then centre, for those who say he isnt a stand off and i was one of them and i was shouted down about it, he is never a loose forward and when the forwards have given him a platform to play he has played well at stand off, the way our forwards played in last half of season they didnt give the backs much chance to play

You are quite right. Let us sell half of the team , recruit Benji Marshall and just go into the season with a squad of 17.

I mean all you need is one player and that is everything sorted

If i was to marry, i dont know if i ought to, if i would, if i should , i'd marry a Prop's daughter, she'd go down, i'd go down, we'd all go down together, we'd be alright in the middle of the night going down together!!:icons42da_files/5417-2890lipst1ck_d0rk-msnicons.jpg

Firstly and most importantly Kev Brown is a good player and all I am saying is IMO he is playing out of position and doesn't look entirely comfortable with it himself, as far as I remember he is a centre?

Not sure where I said we should sign Benji Marshall although wouldn't turn him down but IMO standoff , scrum half and hooker are the main positions so I would have thought you would have the best possible players money will allow in these positions.

If that is Kevin Brown then so be it, we maybe need to start concentrating on
bringing better youngsters thru ala Saint Helens and the likes of Lomax, Gaskill ect and not letting them go without having a chance.

We have Brough at scrum half and Robbo at hooker but and I stress IMO we do not have a top class natural stand off.

Anyone who wouldn't have Chase at stand off over Brown? Rather than look at Murphy, Lee and Chan maybe we should be looking at Chase cos sure he would rather play top 8 play off footie

We have spent a hell of alot of money on second rowers and have too many at the club, maybe some of the funds should have been used more wisely.

I agree too many players who have been sub standard when they eventually get picked. My biggest concern was that Hardaker ripped our defence apart Wardle and Horne were both at fault and from where I sat didnt even try!

Our defence went backwards before making a hit too much of the time and then were driven backwards. We need more commitment. As for KB I for one think he needs a little more time to mature as stand off Brough and Brown when on song are awesome.

kev brown is a very good player indeed, however i wonder whether he would be better suited to centre,which is where he started out? he has good feet,good passing skills a fair bit of pace and trickery, im not sure if he's all that good an organiser/playmaker to be a top stand off.
i think we should look at a top class stand off and move kev to centre,anyone else?

Agree 100 % as would everyone else once they saw what a difference it would make.

If Nathan wouldn't drop Wardle or Cudjoe why the hell are we so desperate to sign Murphy or am I missing sommert?

I saw Kev Brown play centre for Wigan Loads of times. Total waste of his talent.

He's a stand off and in the top 5 in Superleague.

It appears that he is trying to address an imbalance in the squad by reducing the number of second rowers and increasing the depth in the centres. This should see us cope better with injuries in that area and it is crystal clear to everyone that we have too many second rowers.

I would feel a bit happier if some of these centres were swapped for PROPS
