Quote: Geoff "Perhaps. Certainly I'd play Phelps ahead of Roberts on U20's recent performances, and he has mostly been playing at #6 for them. MM favours defence, though, and I still feel we need a better defensive fullback than Sam, which really means putting Pat there, despite the loss of his attacking prowess out wide.'"

That also blunts the attack from fullback too. As much as i like Pat, he isn't a ball player like Tomkins, Webb, Greenshields or even Wellens.

When asked the question about half back partnerships (about 3 mins into the clip) MM's first reaction is we have plenty of combinations and mentions the first as Sam at 6 and Pat at 1. Could be the pairing for Friday.

Wigan may miss Deacon, but we will have a very strong team on Friday.

In fact, a few months ago we got along very well without him. Whether we play Roberts, Phelps, Charnley, Marsh or Pryce in his place, we should be ok if we play to anything like our potential. If he is fit, I'd go with Phelps and Sam at 1/6, swapping as necessary.

What hurt us on Sunday was his early injury and playing 65 minutes with a key back missing. Lockers, unfortunately, will always struggle at SO against the better teams.

I agree, I'm kinda going off MM's concentration on defence. We could still play Sam at #1 in attack and Pat when we're defending, though. Sam has the speed to defend on the wing, where he's not going to get trampled by the big guys in the middle.
