minor point but he only played 10-15 mins at Centre before tadulala went off and he was shifted to wing where he did look a bit lost. whilst at Centre he didnt look too terrible. in hindsight it may have been a better option to switch platt and halley round once semi went off. bit harsh to criticise a player covering in a position hes had very experience off and he didnt really make any major errors iirc.( or at least no more than anyone else)

That said I like look of your team and assuming all available I'd go with that. can't help wondering if theres an element of unrest in squad due to deacs walking straight back into team and breaking up a halves partnership that was looking a lot more effective.

Cook is a centre, so to play him there would make sense.

But instead, yes lets play him on the wing...

He's probably played around 20 minutes at centre in the last three years.

On the Cook issue, it makes you wonder whyt the club pushed him down the SR route when centre was position we needed to strengthen and especially in light of the number of second rowers at the club.

Was it Matt's decision? or the clubs?

I hope Semi is fit for the game on Friday, he's a player that we desperatley need. I would go for this team.

Halley. Sheriffe. Menzies. Nero. Tadulala. Sykes. Jeffries. Scruton. Newton. Lynch. Burgess. Cook. Langley. Subs. Kopczak. Worrincy. Rinaldi. Whitehead.

It's because they said he was lazy at centre they moved him into the second row to try and get more work out of him.

I would like to see Sheriffe dropped, even if it means Platt getting another shot at FB. He's done nothing to warrant a first team place and he needs a kick up the ar$e.

Justified?
I don't get that impression.

The other question would be; Is it too late to turn him into a centre?

At he time it was. It was when he was in the academy and he wouldn't come looking for the ball it had to come to him he just didn't get involved.

IMO he doesn't have the handling abilities.
