sorry, yes parker is meant to stay at 10, jewitt to the bench and alker at 2nd row, or possibly starting hooker and then moving to the second row with holdsworth coming off the bench, or even swain starting at second row holdsworth at 13 and then having a re jig after 30 mins or so

Perhaps slightly off topic but why is everyone putting Mal into the 2nd Row ? Yes he can tackle until the proverbial cows come home but he is no threat with ball from the 2nd row, some would also say this from Hooker

I can`t see him changing from hooker for the first 20 then....Smith/Holdsworth etc, then back to Mal and so on.

For what its worth I think we could still do with a big 2nd row and an experienced prop. But quite happy wth what we have on the budget we have, at the moment

I don't see Tyrer as much of a winger either if I'm being honest.

I seem to remember last season that I asked if Ratchford had ever played 7 and the general census what that he hadnt and wouldnt be suited to the position, but i'm noticeing that most people here seem to have him at 7, for me i'd leave him at 6 as he will be our most effective creater this comeing season and then see who between the Smiths and Houldsworth and is better inside him.
