Not sure about th pace, we have rarley had chance to see it over the last 3 years, I would see him as a Gidley type centre, creating a lot for his winger and scoring a few himself from close range.

I see centre as our weakest position (apart from the wing, but there is nothing we can do about that) at the moment, we are good at hooker, Horne should be back soon so SO is covered, so putting Berrigan there would improve the overall balance of the squad by putting a bit of class in the backs.

was talking to reeces mam on friday night she said he was a week off being fit,which would mean this week

He doesn't want to play centre. He specifically came here to play hooker. And I'm not convinced that asking Houghton to play the full 80 minutes week in and week out is a good idea. If Houghton is going to be spelled then Berro is the man for that role.

Agar said last week he had pencilled in the catalans home game for horney to be back.

thats a pretty tough game to come back to isnt it?

Cant see why people are looking at having Hall in the team, i would give Tuffour a shot at it. Lets face it defensively he cannot be any worse than Hall is and if the rumours are true about Hall going to Rovers then we really don't need to be risking playing him the team.

Houghton had a cracker at hooker last week but if we go down the route of making him play the full 80 each and every week he will sone burn himself out. So for me Berro to start with houghton replacing him during the game as i think we get more out of him coming off the bench than vice versa.

definately agree about Hall. i think Tuffour is worth a shot. we'll never know how good he is until he's given a game in the 1st team. is he especially quick? even if he's not, he's a dedicated winger which Hall isn't.

I seem to recall the tactic of giving game time to an unproven youngster backfiring spectacularly on you guys the last time we played

Fridays game is very important and we cannot afford to be complacent going into the game like we were at the willows earlier on in the season. A win could put us in joint 3rd and would give us great confidence going into the Huddersfield game, on the back of four successive wins. If we don't turn up, Salford will beat us and last fridays game will have counted for very little, therefore its imperative that we get the two points this week and push on towards the last quarter of the season.

It would be but it's true. The team were awful but Broughton had Lyne is his pocket and kept killing him everytime they were one on one. Lyne looked good with the ball in hand and almost broke through a few times but in defence he was left wanting.

attacking wise tuffour has done fantastic for york,but his defence has let him down slightly,which at that level,doesn't read well.but if we don't try him we will never know i suppose,but it looks like hall will be in to me.

After what Broughton did to him at the Willows?

I'd sooner see us play someone like Dowes on the wing then give Bomber the ideal gameplan before we even kick off.
