thats the one I was thinking of cheers.

Don't think we where ever going to get him tbf pal but I don't see the Ellis and Abdul partnership getting us promoted

Tbf I've seen our pack criticisized for still being underpowered, criticism of our halfbacks for lack creativity and concerns about our backs, especially the wings.

Despite all that, and a feeling that the team has still to properly gel, we're currently 4 points clear at the top of the Championship.

Whether we've got the extra gear we'll need to win promotion is difficult to tell, but that was always going to be a massive challenge on a reduced spend. We're where I hoped at this stage and much better than I feared. Ellis and Abdull have played their parts in that, and at least met expectations IMO. ZDC offers an interesting alternative.

We're still 'nowhere near' the cap so I would obviously expect to strengthen come the 8s, I can't see Tim tinkering with the halves as in trying Quinlan there and I would expect zdc to spell with Lunt, we haven't had a big pack in recent years but we seem to be getting away with it so far....

quinlan has played half back at both levels in the nrl and looked half decent , as for weakening the full back position defending one on one he is very weak all I say is give him a try before the eights start

Full back is like another half nowadays long gone has the defensive full back of times gone by, I would like to see moss given a go there if any tinkering is done....

shaun Briscoe wasn't that long ago , best finish we ever had with him at the helm, need a balance ,and in my opinion quinlan is to small when exposed on his own. do agree on giving moss a chance to show what he can do or not do at full back and just try quinlan in the halves for a few games whilst addy is injured and Abdul to loose man .unless sheens is under orders not to move him around from the dullers.

Don't know how I forgot about briscoe.... I agree with some that we don't have anybody in the halves who can add a real injection of pace, Abdul won't get a look in if/when he goes back tbf as others have mentioned so he may well be offered to us?

We had Murrell as a pivot at 13 to compensate for not having a ball handling full back when Briscoe was with us.

wrong thread I know but are Leigh really as decimated as they're making out? Been on their site but can't find out much....

You think someone else tells Sheens who he picks and where they play?
Abdul has been good up until the last 2 games. Not helped by his partner at 7 falling to pieces the last few games he played.

Could be a "gentleman's agreement" thrown In with the loan deal, as long as I have a hole in my he is not a 6. I really rate the kid and think he will be a star at 13.

I don't think it is any one player but the combinations they play in. Abdul at 6 needs to be paired with a smart elusive 7 who asks questions of the defence (not Ellis). I would play Abdul at 13 Quinlan at 6, Docker-Clay at 7, Addy & Lunt cover the 9. We just need a steady fullback. Moss may well the best choice there.

Our fullback slot seems to be something T.S. has very specific ideas about.
First it was to be Matt Marsh, following his injury we then signed Adam Quinlan, both half backs converted into the role.
Liam Harris is been played there in training and York have been asked to give him game time at fullback now.

I think this tells us just what Tim wants is fullback to be like, a small quick pacy extra half who can join the attacking line as second receiver.
When you match this role to the way we try and control the ruck and keep the ball rolling forward with tight middle of the park forward play, it starts to show how the 6 is not the first choice point of attack. but more an extra back row.
Blair, Addy, Donno and Abdul all play in the same tight space behind the props and is why our outside backs do not see as much of the ball as we would sometimes like.

I think changing the type of half would mean completely changing our game style.
