I'd dispute that mate, a rather unimpressive 12 from 21 (57%) so far this season

For me, I think it's just reached a point where i'd like to see what another coach could do with this group of players (and see which ones they'd get rid of). Craig Bellamy's contract runs out this year...

That last period tonight when Gildart came on for Tierney and Sarge moved to fullback looked effective, though brief. I'm a Tierney fan, but he doesn't link well in attack, though his solo runs are excellent.

There's no link there from Tierney and in a side that relies massively on that it effects us. I've got to hand it to the lad because he's been very solid in the main and he's done his reputation no harm but I hope that last 10 mins with Sarge at fullback and Gildart at centre is the way we'll start next week.

Tierney could provide a useful utility option from the bench. It may be a crazy shout but if we want somebody to throw on at 9 for 15 mins here and there to get out from dummy half and take some quick scoots/carries he could be just the man. It's no more crazy then Wane talking about Burke or Bateman going in there IMO.

Doesn't sound crazy to me.

There's no doubt that Sarge is the better fullback. He does present a threat in attack. However Tierney has confounded expectation. At this stage of the season I'd be tempted to keep him in the team. He has earned the right really. His defence is very good. He only dropped one right at the end, and Sneyd could have played in a dinner jacket for all the pressure the props put on his kicks.
