| Quote: Marcus's Bicycle "On the evidence of yesterdays performance I conceded that my observation about our squad being better than Leigh's was bollox. On yesterdays performance indeed it was and I continued the friendly banter with the Leigh fan. I should have put an emoji in to emphasise that.
Know diddly squat about the game? probably true. You suggest I should listen to other peoples views who have superior knowledge of the game. I'm guessing that means you?
You have made a posts that I agree with. However Jamie Shaul is 30 has never played hooker in his life and will never successfully make that transition now. It's a specialist position that requires a lot more than running from dummy half.'"
Its no longer a specialist position thats where you are wrong.
Its picking the ball up from dummy half and either passing the ball or scooting/making a break.
Shauls best part of his game which is running is ideal for this position
If people want to criticise Shauls passing or his defence then surely from the evidence we have seen from our now number one nine Dwyer it cant be any worse than him.
Shaul is now surplus to requirements but i still maintain he could do a better job at nine than the current bunch we have.
According to one of the Aussie posters on here he coached Shaul in his younger days as a hooker and dont forget he actually started at nine for one match last year or the year before and did very well,but finished the game back at full back due to injury re shuffle prompting one or two on here to say it was a good call. |

My fear is the likes of Taylor and Griffin have already been given contract extensions

The hooker handles the ball more and has to make more decisions then anyone on the field. It is a specialist position. In the history of Rugby League how many players have made this switch successfully at Shaul's age? maybe the greatest coaching minds have overlooked your idea.
He may have got man of the match when playing for Skirlaugh under 12's but playing Super League is a different ball game.
Let it go man just let it go. |

As a leigh fan, let me tell you I was expecting to lose this game. UNTIL i watched the interview with Smith leading up to the game on twitter and he looked like a frustrated beaten man with no confidence who was expecting to get beat. If he is like that with the players then no wonder they have no confidence.

No serious The game has passed you and your cuddle buddys well and truly by.
Playing nine in this day and age is not a specialist position.
Often seen Liam Byrne at Wigan in the first receiver role
Kay a winger at Wakefield sometimes plays nine
Even our own Joe Cator sometimes steps in at nine and of course we have Lovodua.
Probably lots more examples but the point remains its not a specialised position any more

| Quote: Mild Rover "I do quite like the ‘Hull KR fans, always living in the present’ angle. Shows the circle does turn in SL. Sort of.
A couple of wins and it’ll look rosier. Same as it does for us and following a pattern established in the 19th century. You’re not so crap, as you’ll go down I don’t think.
Be interesting to see what your rebuild looks like.'"
What you can say about HKR this season is that they are a lot fitter than we are |

Maybe put Scott Taylor at Full Back. Good under the high ball I'm told. |

You're beyond help if you think that's a genuine argument. You've used 4 example of players filling it at 9 and non of them are great at it.
Just because Shaul might have the odd decent scoot. You've completely ignored the workload he'd be under at 9.
Like it or not 9 is a specialist position in the spine of a team. |

I know where i would put him but that might offend some of you luvvies
Why the hooker position should be officially reclassified as a dummy-half
good read but you still wouldnt get it |
