| Never thought this pieces o paper selection process near the top o SuperLeague was so contagious
...............and the rumours ???
Swap around our half back pairing at the end of a season !!
Move a centre to 2nd row --no maybe not
Move a SO to loose forward
Try a full back at SO ??
Back up ball handler / hooker at loose forward / second row !
.......and to beat it all a lad whos been injured and hasnt played in a certain position ever --at SO
Get rid of Raleigh --most solid fella on the park last Friday
Griffin maybe going??? one of our best forwards early on
Sweating for a half back variation --bye McNally !
Hooker starts at MM- scores first try of season --gets injured --end of !
Ta Ra mate
Bloody hell --and Walt Disney`s wanting script writers !!
...and all this before what now proves to be the most important match of the season to date!
Why not just reverse it from 13 to 1 ?
.......and Kens trying to sell more season tickets to newbies who could well read this! Wow! You couldnt make it up ! Pure magic!
Still believe it all started losing continuity with the shuffling (and its too late now) If changes HAVE to be made - just change those positions that have to be changed - not a wholesale Littlewoods permutation
Nobody seems to know their role in life anymore at times !
Eorls a very lucky guy!!

| All it's saying is that this selection of SS fans saw some potential in him that led them to believe that in the long term playing 6 possibly would be his best position.Whether he would ever have been capable of replacing Sutton in that position who knows.
Your last couple of sentences only serve to reinforce my point that certain players have the potential to switch positions,even though they may be regarded as specialists in one.

| yeah but again why simpson at 6, have you seen anything in him to say WE should play him there? i saw him play hooker for the u20's and i saw nothing that convinced me that he was the dominant ball player and decision maker we need, i know one game doesnt tell you everything but against weak opposition he did not stand out as anything special, play him at centre and see how he goes if he doesnt work out lets not waste our time trying to make him into something he is very far from being, in training they are not playing him in any ball handling positions so any switch is not on the cards

Yet their brave bid came to a stunning end when Cudjoe stepped out of the defensive line to intercept a pass and then run away for a 90-metre effort. (Times 2)

Tell you where he would fit in.

it was not a dig at simpson in particlar,just that in general people expect too much of a player because he has played nrl. they arent all stars of the world in the nrl.it would be better just to have one or two real quality aussies. make up the rest of the team with local talent who want to play in super league rather than players who come here for the cash

| You are assuming that Simpson has only come for the money- perhaps he fancied the experience of living at the other side of the world. Given his recent serious health issues perhaps he just wanted a fresh start , fresh outlook etc.

| Was it just me that thought he was one of our stand out players over at Salford? I thought he did really well not playing in his regular position, playing in a very tough and physically demanding position in his first game back after a long lay off. I think a pre-season is going to make all the difference to Simpson.

No it wasn't. I've even had an argument with someone who said that Simpson's display at Leeds was dreadful.
However, the knockers are like fishermen - once they have a bite they don't give up.
People get fed up in the end trying to point out the errors in the knockers' ways, but the latter have more stamina, dredging up the same old drivel time after time.

| He hasn't had a fair chance to show what he can do imo. Let him have a full preseason & then see how he goes in the first 6 or 8 rounds next year if selected. Then a FAIR appraisal could be made.

| Exactly......he came over here during the season having not had time to get to know the club, the coaches his teammates etc.....i'm actually looking forward to seeing him after a full pre-season......if there is still no improvement in say maybe april/may next year then maybe we can start thinking it could just be one of those things were it doesnt work out......MAYBE WE COULD TRY HIM AT 6 IN A COUPLE OF PRE-SEASON GAMES TOO !!!!
