im not having a go at simpson im balking at the suggestion he should replace brown at stand off

I know I'm in a huge minority here, but watching KB at stand off reminds me of that legend know by a few as Wally Gibson. His play at FB was outstanding. He seemed a natural shoe in for SO. He was, let's say, not very good. At FB he had time to see the various options open to him. An up-to-date example might be Sam Tompkins.

Kev is, or was, a superb centre. At SO - and remember this is only my opinion - he seems to lack vision.

Again, do not get me wrong, he is a superb player - playing in what is not his natural position.

I'm sorry Ivor ''Shoe in'' what does that mean?
Foot in boot , boot in gob? Doesn't make sense.
You are perhaps mistaking it for that well used agricultural expression which identifies easily herded livestock as being ''A Shoo-in''.
Just because the Zaminer use it doesn't mean it is correct.
Oh, and whilst I'm at it, Ladies, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but it is not multi-tasking, it is merely a very short attention span.
Wow! I feel a lot better for getting that off my chest.

Totally agree Ivor i said at the time when they put thorman at fullback brown would of been the better choice, not bagging brown btw i think he is quality, just think like tomkins at wigan with more time on the ball he could be an even better player, we'd miss his defensive work though if he ever did go to full back

Me not making sense???

'Shoe in' - 'dead cert', 'absolute certainty', 'perfection', 'natural', etc.

There, that better?

wonder is simpson will play centre this week with cudjoe out...

simpson v atkins/king hmmm bit worrying!

At least we'd know where all the actions was going to be!!

I would have expected Wardle (if fit) and Horne to play centre this week, if not then Bruno or Gilmour would next in the pecking order for that position. Unfortunately Simpson showed on Sunday that he isn't up to speed yet (due to lack of game time) and putting him in a position which requires your defence to be at its best, against a Warrington side with an electric three-quarter line, is going to be suicide.

lets hope wardle is fit and we can go with horne and him in the centres, horne been playing really well lately

didnt horne play at centre last time we played at wire and was woeful, agreed last 2 games at centre he has been good, for me bruno and joe should be centres on friday, with dodgy and jerry on wing.

As I remember it the team was woeful at Warrington.

I despair at what some people see/don't see in players.

yes horne was woeful that night v wire

looks like bruno is our new winger!! what happened to the 2nd row project? is this his new project! great try at the weekend

hodgson not part of our future anymore so may aswell leave bruno playing, then again neither is horne part of the future but his form is better than hodgson who stopped scoring after he signed his new deal with kr

Re mr j Simpson.
I'll judge him when it's fair to judge him , which in my humble opinion is after a decent pre- season and a good few games next season. Judging him earlier than this sensationalism, unfair and premature.

And I've not been premature since the doctor gave me those tablets....
