I can see the sense in that, although Thompson has been very effective in the forwards.

gotta go this, whiting a great cover player on the bench. And would like to see thompson in a more wider role as he can cause damage through the middle so out wide running gotta be a plus for us, and hes solid in defence. also he has pace as we have seen. azza gotta be rotating with houghton and rankin and miller in the halfs, time for us to all see how these 2 go together.

wander who will do the goal kicking if bens not playing.

can see a win for us ,if they are playing hocks the penalty machine.wander if he will last the whole game without a sinbining,or even sent off.just a thought.pity i can`t make it down for this game,have to listen to the muppets on blunderside,will be there for the huddersfield game though.

I'd go with this too, but I don't agree with you saying Thompson is solid in defence. I actually think it's the flaw in his game. Quite often you'll see him trying to grab the opponent and not complete the tackle. He's not an awful defender just not the best, and something he can certainly improve on.

I reckon Whiting will play centre and kick the goals.

Whiting was practicing his kicks with Ben before the match on Friday so I would say Whiting will be our goal kicker if he starts. If not... Westerman?

Miller can kick goals too.

Good. At least we have options.

And Rankin put his hand up earlier in the season. He kicked goals as a youth player.

i did have a similar thought meself 1865.

Same here and the this is what I would do myself, have him defending on the side Hock attacks.

Hock playing isn't a good thing. Yeah gives some stuff away but on his day is pretty devastating and takes up defenders and has one of the best offloading games about

Sounds like Crooks in Colbon out.

Smail's reckons arundel will play centre, although has said crooks could come into the squad as trained with no ill effects yesterday! Personally I'm happy with arundel if it comes to that. Centre for a centre. Whiting for me is a back row only nowadays barring extreme circumstance. This isn't 1.
