Quote: MadDogg "I think Hardaker could play hooker at a push.
I'm sure we'll bring Shorrocks or Sammut in on the bench - I'd probably prefer to start Sammut over French in the halves. French is what was advertised - a full back or winger.
All assuming Powell can't play of course - if he's avoided a break you know he's the type of bloke who will want to play.'"
I wouldn't play Zak at 9 personally. I don't think he's ever played there in his life; I could be wrong though. It's a position which is vital to the attack and of course is a key part of the defence playing in the middle; I wouldn't feel confident asking this of Zak.
I want to see us with French at the back. As much as I rate Zak; which I do, under our current system with our style of play it just doesn't suit him. His shows up week in week out. If you're playing split halves you need that out wide link man, we've got a glimpse of how French can attack given space, just imagine him put through gaps outside of either half.
Our attack has stuttered all season. Try French at 1 and see the difference.
