Paul Sykes injured for Wire game : Fri Jun 12, 2009 1:07 pm  

We will be missing Paul Sykes, who has a hamstring strain, so he is one very important member of our squad who is missing but we have Glenn Morrison back in contention this week as well as Matt Cook and Michael Platt who both didn't feature last week. Warrington Bulls eye He's been playing well. That means either a) play Menzies at centre OR b) Put platt in at centre

Menzies in the centre position and Morrison in the pack.

It's a no brainer.

Given our right side defence versus Wakey this might actually make us stronger.

Well, we've got 2nd rowers so moving Beaver to centre would be the best move. I think Rikki will play better with him as his centre

Maybe, but i'm dreading the thought that Macca might put Platt in centre. Given the fact that we have Morro and Cook back, we won't miss Menzies from the pack too much, so I hope Platt isn't put in.

Menzies isn't as effective at Centre so who knows. It's a shame that Crookes isn't fit.

It's also a shame in the first place that Sykes isn't fit.

Menzies is a hell of a lot more effective than Platt at centre, don't you think?

We're bound to win this one, i've been looking at the tipping comps across RLFans and nobody has predicted a Bulls win. Last two times like this (Saints & Leeds) we ended up winning.

But is the overall drop in effectiveness worth it in the trade off?
