It's an option thats for sure and would cause the lease disruption to the partnerships players are building up.

I'm looking forward to watching whoever gets the shot.

Its a massive game next week and not the time to blood a rookie at full back. Its got to be Amos or Richards.

Dave, the point is you [urefuse[/u to subscribe to this viewpoint despite there being numerous examples of this being the case. For some reason you expect all players to be the same and point to players who didn't need time to settle in as a reason why [uno-one[/u should. That's just plain ridiculous.

King, Roberts, Richards, Smith, Lam (I could go on of course) are all examples of players who were [umuch[/u better in their second season than their first. Roberts, himself, gave a good interview as to why he didn't perform as well as he should have last year and the upheaval of coming half way round the world and not properly settling until his family arrived featured very strongly.

A real athlete is Roberts and I expect him to be in the Dream Team come the end of the year and also somewhere near the top of the try scoring charts assuming he stays injury free.

Next week for me I am happy for him to move to fullback should it be required with Ainscough coming onto the wing. If a centre gets a knock step forward Karl Pryce but should a Wingman or fullback go down I think Ainscough earned the right to be the first replacement last year.

I really wanted him to do well last year and we saw flashes of what I thought he should be like but as others have said he is a different player this year - not the first time it has happened Pat Richards and Craig Smith spring readily to mind in that area but delighted for us and for Amos and he will just get better as it warms up. Well done Amos

Thought he was great. Played great. scored 2 great tries. Earned himself a signature.

tbh id rather keep it like the second half and have joel going centre with gleeson on the wing than put pryce in. Despite laughing at first joel went pretty well at centre last night, far better than pryce has done.

Id say either go as we were or go with PR to FB and lets give ainscough a run. If roberts can transform into such a player under mcguire, ainscough should be world class this year as the only failing he's ever had was under the high ball which he must have worked on under the new regime.

I've actually said before I wouldn't mind seeing Joel Tomkins get a regular run at centre if we had an injury there. He's got the pace, the hands and he'd be huge in comparison to most of his opposite numbers.

He's obviously going to be a second row/loose forward in the main but it's always nice to have options.

Would be a good idea if Joel was on same centre as Kings wing. His strength would be vital./

He is a different player to the one we saw last year that is for sure. Last year he would not take the man on down the wing and didn't look half as interested as he does this year. I'd love to see how many touches of the ball he makes this year compared to last year. It just goes to show we were right to question the reasons for his failings, because the quality has always been there, but for some reason or another we just didn't see it! I'm with DaveO on this one and think the answer is definitely in the coaching. What else can it be?

During all the flak he took last year I always remembered a little piece of play he'd come up with against Cas in his 2nd or 3rd game for us that gave me hope he could be an exceptional player for us.

He was playing at fullback against Cas and shimed into the line. He put on some of the best footwork i've ever seen to get on the outside of his man and put Pryce over in the corner. It was my favourite try of last year and it showed he's got huge talent.

His attitude and fitness are now matching that talent.

never mind him being fit enough, he aint good enough! to come back into the pecking order Vs Wire would be a big gamble, tbh i dont think his hart is in it.

saying that i would love to be proved wrong and have him come back and run all over them
