| Nope, a centre, and even better than Joe was as the same age by all accounts.
And Rick didn't say Bruno was definitely gonna play there he said he's been doing some training in that position.
Either way we have plenty of options now and unless we have a load of injuries i can't see the point in spending any more money for the sake of it. We have a big enough squad with plenty of cover in all positions in my view.

| But where would we play him ? We have Brough/Brierley/Gaskell and then Izaak Farrell waiting in the wings, so unless we have 2-3 out at one time we will have a player sat in the stand every week which seems a waste of a wage to me.

| Not been funny but if a genuine proven half back was available do you not think we or anyone else would have not signed him up by now ?
plus we haven't got a small squad this year.

I would like us to be looking for Broughs replacement at some point, as you say he can't go on forever though he probably misses less games than most, he still has a bit of pace and he doesn't shirk on tackling, He is still our playmaker but i feel with Brierley on the field he may not get quite as much attention as he used too so that may be a good thing.
For me i would play him and Brierley first choice for as much as possible, Brierley has all the skills and he needs a chance to settle in, Yes he isn't the best playmaker " yet " and he may never be so, He is not the best defender in the side, although he is not that bad, What he is is a try scorer, he backs up just about every move that shows any promise, Hopefully RS will be making this clear to one or two of the other players. Score tries you win more games than you lose.
Gaskill is good enough cover for the halves, plus we have youngsters, That said i wouldn't turn down either Joe Mellor or M Ridyard if they came available.
Regards a Centre problem " if we have one " We have the solution, Roberts has all it takes," Watch this space "

| Why all the panic re HB, sure its a major position requiring certain skills, Cudjoe has played there, maybe Simpson, or others, look at Saints, they have used Lomax a FB, Wilkins a "2nd row forward, and other unlikely players, a really good mobile player could slot in to cover an injury, ok if botth HBs are out at the same time (can happen but not likely)we are in trouble, calm down, we will be ok.

Never played well for us in that position

Smurph seems happy enough to know his limitations.
Ormsby was a 2016 panic recruit,Dire desperate to get rid of him to a desperate team.Tony Smith getting his own back on us the fans.
