Ultimately I think we acknowledge we need a good all round centre and I’m just thinking out loud half the time , forums are there to express opinions whether we all agree or not is somewhat irrelevant.

Last season it looked as though Tibbs would develop into a top quality centre, still young and relatively inexperienced he seems to have lost a bit of confidence not helped by being shifted back out to the wing after injury. I see some similarities to JWH, who for years showed potential but was never able to nail down one position consistently. I love Mcombs energy and enthusiasm, and he rarely let's team down, but at some stage I hope Tibbs gets another chance at centre.

Spent years finding Woody's position and it's not centre..I would try Gannon at centre to try and eradicate some of the soft try's we concede there,but no-one probably agrees...

Gannon at centre,
A big ask for someone who plays mostly in the middle. Second rows can cover centre as they used to defending wider but a prop. As they used to say on Laugh In " Interesting but stoopid."

Woody is best fullback in Championship. Should not move him unless all half backs crocked.

Even then i would play Gannon in the halves before moving JWH.

Thought Gannon was more a second row and had the pace to catch Woody over 80 metres at Headingley...

When Fax signed him they said he was "a young prop" and most things I have read have said prop or loose forward. These days the two positions seem interchangeable , as per Fairbank and Tangata.

Though what Pendlebury and Renilson would have thought of it I have no idea.
Oh for one of those two or even a Halmshaw .

We had Jacob Gannon last year and he definitely didn't look like a prop. He played more edge backrow. No idea if he can play centre - he never played there for us. Hopefully you have him on your right side as our left side will be equally inexperienced if Gill is still out.

Please please please Simon, Fax.

I am away on holiday and will be hoping for a solid win tomorrow, especially after what the Shaymen managed against ALL odds yesterday.

Make us proud and stuff them including Chester Butler bigging them up.
