What might be worth doing, even if it causes guffaws all round, is have a look at any halfbacks in the Championship who can kick and organise. They don't have to be stars, but it looks like we're putting all our eggs into the basket of getting a halfback from somewhere (if Maloney was the target he'll most likely see out the rest of Origin unless NSW lose game 2 this weekend). When you watch Leeds there's no sense of control, or who is supposed to be in charge when we have the ball. Compared to Myler/Sutcliffe there must be some Championship/reserve SL halfbacks who at least know what to do on the last tackle or how to compose a set of 6?

I agree fully with this, look at Championship. I genuinely think seven, as long as Sutcliffe isn’t six, is a bigger problem for us currently. There is two or three really good organising sevens down there that could work. If it is six, then what about our Fev tie up? Chisholm looks pure class compared to what we have. And although I thought daft at the time, I don’t think Schofield was far wrong on his Murrell comment. Of course unless a promising player, it should only be an end of season move. But do reckon Chisholm and McClelland could be a good formula. What happened with that quality Widnes half that came in back end of last season?
