Fair. You could be right, but the way things are going they have a great chance of a home semi and in those circumstances I think KR's big game record away isn't great. Saints are the team that I think are most able to find the level to beat us in a Grand Final, but I'd probably have Wire at least as likely to get there, if not more so.

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.
