If thats it then fine, I understand that sentiment even if I might not agree with it, but nothing would surprise me at the moment with some of our fans.

I've been saying from week one that a lack of creativity/threat in the halfs is one of our biggest problems and trying a new combination is a good thing.... just wish it wasnt this game as I cant see this disruption and a new pairing helping us against Burrow and McGuire. Hopefully it will, but its only blind hope and faith, not logic.

tbh i think deacon is getting towards the end of his days playing wise and he has been knocked out a few times already this season, i think a couple of weeks off would do him and bradford the world of good, i'm hoping for menzies at 6 and Jeffries at 7

Sad to say but its good news for the team at the moment IMO, as stated earlier i think Jeffries and Menzies should have run at half back.

Hurray!

Bring on an effective scrum half who may run at and take on a defence instead of just passing along the lines. I swear we have the least effective scrum half in Super League. As a captain he hardly leads by example. Its a shame Morro isn't about to take over but this is good news to me. Lovely bloke but not a scrum half. Never was. Never will be.

Taking Menzies out of the pack does leave us with a lack of experience there with no Morrison and maybe Sol back in his first game.
Instead of weakening one area to plug a gap just try something new with Jeffries.

Any suggestions?

Beaver at 6 (for as long as he can keep it up) ?

I know he's 35 and all that but he's not looked like he's been struggling so far. Plus playing stand off will be probably take some load off him

He's played a hell of a lot better since the ground has been harder.

I expect him to line up at 6 on Friday.

With Morro and Deacs out who's going to steer our rudderless ship out of the maelstrom ?
