I'd personally give Riley a week off.
Hicks at full back and Penny outside Gleeson.
Obviously the best combination would be Gleeson/King but im not sure the other side would look too stable unless you went Bridge/Hicks

If it was down to me I would bring Penny back but play him outside of anyone other than King. I would also stick with Riley at fullback for the time being as I believe that out of everyone currently at the club, he is most likely to be the first choice fullback in years to come. Monas needs to be moved to hooker sooner rather than later, and Bridge needs to partner Briers in the halves to give us a more dynamic partnership.

In my mind the best compromise to acheive all this would be Riley at fullback and play King outside Gleeson. If an Australian international (even an average one) can't switch wings then he may as well tear up his own contract and go back on the bins at home). If King can't find his confidence playing outside Gleeson then he will never find it. If Gleeson can make a donkey like Henry or a journeyman player like Hicks look good, then if it clicks what can he do with King?

At left centre I would play Hicks. This isn't an ideal solution, but he does have experience as an NRL centre and, as already said, there have to be some compromises somewhere. Outside Hicks I would play Penny.

This would free up Bridge to go into the halves, then Monas to Hooker, then Higham to impact hooker, where I believe he will be more effective than in his current 80 minute slot.

You have got to be joking.

I wish he was still here.

I`m not sure who your referring too here as i certainly havn`t said that Chris Riley has been our best player in any game previously, what i said was he has been solid previously without being spectacular.

I was referring to Latchford Wolvesfan's comments earlier.

I thought Riley was starting to look ok last season on the wing, but he has gone backwards along way at full back. If he is to play, it should be on the wing.

OK, perhaps Donkey was a bit severe, cart horse may have been more appropriate (I was a Henry fan btw)

My point being that Henry was hardly the worlds most agile, dynamic or speedy winger. In the words of Brian Moore (talking about Ronald Koeman) "Built like a battleship, and turns like one too". Yet playing outside Gleeson, and with Briers putting the ball in the air, Henry was able to score far more than he perhaps should have. If Henry was able to do so well outside of Gleeson and bearing in mind that many posters grannies (who have been dead 17 years) could score 20 a season outside Gleeson, how well would King do? Surely worth a try?

Should we have to do that though on what he's alledgedly paid?
