Second Row for me.

Burgess is definatly a 2nd Row/Loose. He will burn out like Stuart Fielden if he carries on at prop, plus he has too much talent to play prop.

I hate it when people say this, it does a great injustice to fantastic skillful prop forwards. Look at Barrie Mac, the fella was a unbelievably talented ball player, so was Webcke.

I think it was really unfair to put Halley on the wing this week. He's done nothing to justify moving him as he's been excellent for us.

What talent he hardly ever off loads he doesn't kick and his passing isn't the crispest.

Same, I knew it was going to happen aswell. I just hope he doesnt lose his spot for the rest of the year and I hope he isnt switched to wing next season either. It's not the way to go.

As it stands we're 7 points behind 8th and 9 points behind 5th. We need to really put the effort in week in week out till the end of the season to try and get as high up as we can. We have a game in hand over most of these aswell so hopefully we can gain a place or two.

Didn't play there the whole game though. Platt & Halley seemed to swap around a few times.

There is always the possibility that it was a deliberate move to give us a potent attack weapon out wide against this particular team? Or maybe he started with Halley on the wing to spare him getting flattened in the inevitable opening onslaughts?

Guess the point is that its hard to judge unless you know why the coach made the decisions he did; and in most cases he is unlikely to say cos that would likely help the opposition. So its another Catch-22?
