Would have to be Smith or Armistead at loose for me

I wouldn't play him at all until he is fully fit.......or 'til he grows his hair back!!

I feel Hobson could be our missing half back, he reads a game perfectly, he always avoids making a tackle.

also re JT at loose, Jt is a second row/hard ground prop, a loose forward these days has to have a variety of handling and passing skills something that JT lacks, and putting all your 'eggs' (i.e. props) in one basket (team) is hardly anything a good coach could/should do

==============================================
Well knock mi down wi a feather Fred good coach our coachin staff are,nt settin the world on fire with their team selections are they
Armi would be ok at L/F if he was fit which he looks far from it, when i win the euro rollover £100,000,000 i will buy Leyth and make miself coach
and play that pack

I think Andy Hobson is a good player, he gives 110% and takes alot of ball forward. Maybe if we moved him to hooker he would have a greater influence on the team??

Iain you really should learn to read what I wrote, I made NO comment at all about ANY teams coaching staff, but to start a game with 4 props, I'd coach a team to beat it never mind anyone else.

In my opinion Hill and Morrision are both built like second rowers
they have pace and good movement ie side step ect ect both are,nt bad ball handlers and can tackle sound like s/ rowers to me

Fred the pack Kelly . P Rowley have picked all season have been
battered apart from Whitehaven home and Widnes, the forward pack i picked would be stronger up front and out wide.........

Hobbo takes some stick but when we played Whitehaven couple months ago Hobbo was outstanding took on Whitehavens big pack and he came out well on top, personally Hobbo Jock Castle would make a great front
row Hill , Morrison second row and Taylor loose forward
both Hill n Morrision would be devasting runnin out wide if they got the right service from Watson or Hemmingway

Agreed Hobbo is better than most props in this division and he gets singled out for unfair critisism in my opinion he is no more a drty player than an all time leigh favorite in Tim Street and if we can have two of our big three props on at the same time by subbing eg castle and hobbo then castle and hill ect we will dominate most packs earlier this season we couldnt domnate opposition packs due to only having one big prop

Its 2009 not 1989 second rowers are supposed to make you go forward Hill can play second row and Morrisons prefered position is second row but that pack you posted well put it this way its only your opinion (thank god).
