Maybe in the minority but certainly not alone Moto. They don't have enough cutting edge. They still had their best (if not necessarily first choice) spine out there tonight. We were missing 3 of ours, our attacking interchange hooker, and had our stand off constantly in at dummy half yet still outscored them 3 tries to 2. Let's be honest here, that could easily have been 5 or six to 2 as well. I haven't seen Marshy mess up 1 of those cross field kicks in years, let alone 2 in 1 game! We were held up over the line and also had 2 players taken out off the ball without a pen when yards from their line (although we may have taken the 2 points there).
We are apparently a 2 man team playing without both those players and still beat them. Imagine Wire beating them without Dufty, Williams, Walker (plus all their reserve hookers) and I doubt the Warrington faithful would be saying they're still their biggest threat.
I know they had a lot of players missing too but most of theirs would help get them better field position rather than do anything with it and, ultimately, doing anything with it is the same problem they've had for a couple of years now.
Great game though!

Is a much better balance than

Field isn't good enough at 6, it really doesn't suit him.'"
Agree 100%, he’s great defensively at FB but was a speed bump against Catalan at magic last year.
If Farrimond need taking out the fire I’d consider
1 Field
3 Eckerlsey
6 Keighran
7 Smith
Keighran played loads of 6 last year

| Was it last year at Magic where Field played 6 ?
Had an absolute mare but to be fair I don't think anyone covered themselves in glory that day.
FB all day long when he's back

It was and he was poor but like you say, so was everybody else and it was a really poor run of form for the side around that time. I do think it will put paid to any chance of him playing there, even in the short term but it's worth considering, especially if Eckersley continues to play as he did last Friday!

Whilst I wouldn't necessarily advocate Field at 6 he was absolutely awesome there for a couple games including Leigh away last year. The problem is his defence in the line. He's probably the best 1 on 1 defender in the league from fullback but can be suspect defending closer in.

| I think Jai is judged pretty harshly off the back of that game at Magic, he had 1 game against Leigh at 6 and ripped them to pieces, then had a 2 month injury layoff and came straight back in against a very good side on a hot day when that entire right edge struggled. I do think he's better suited at full back in defence and attack, but it would be harsh to totally write him off based on that game.
