That should be myler.

Good drama this Hall despite playing very well makes his tradition defensive balls up to keep Wigan in it

and who at full back? Hooley?
i dont think as a 3 Sezer, Myler, Hooley is all that much better than Sezer, Gannon and Myler

To be fair, the shambolic defence on their right side throughout the whole game was what kept Wigan in it.

Honestly, Wigan better pray they don't lose French. They'd be below us without him.

If Hooley, who has spent his entire career pretty much as a FB, isn’t a better FB than Gannon is SO, then we’ve made a blunder signing Hooley. He should be playing FB and releasing Myler to play in the halves before Gannon is playing at SO.

As Hooley played tonight, Handley must be playing FB tomorrow.

Yeah I'd have to disagree especially as sezers kicking for yardage was so poor. In the absence of another fb it's smith for me too

Halls frustrated me all his career doing that though, flying infield off his line flailing his arms at the ball. Hold your shape lad!

We beat both Saints and Wigan with handley at full back.
Just sayin

And I`m sure we will win other games with players out of position mate.
But I`m not a fan of tinkering as it dilutes the players ability when they should be better served in their natural preferred position.
