Was it Donlan at full back on Friday?

Thought he had a decent game myself, looked very safe under high ball especialy.

We could play a revolutionary new game structure involving two fullbacks.

I've been thinking about it for years....

I always feel sorry for whoever plays on the left this season as they seem to see little ball and that has certainly been the case with Stuart when playing centre. This I felt was a plus at Doncaster as the ball was getting out to him and Dave Alstead.


Totally agree with the observation of our play or should i say lack of it on the left side. Watson seems to have a bias to the right, however with the introduction of Lee Marsh in the Doncaster game our play took on a new dimension, and play opened up to the left resulting in more ball for Donlan and Alstead, also Morts try came from an insde left ball off Marsh.

On the subject of who should play full back? Not too sure, and not really too bothered. Both to start, simply because both players will score points. Also i rate Mort as one of the best goalkickers around at the moment.

Now with the risk of ridicule......Can Mort play stand off? I would have liked to have seen him operate in this role, maybe during comfortable periods in the London and Moscow games. I know that Tony Benson saw him as a future stand off.

Finally check out Rugby League World magazine.....Best rated full back - Ian Mort, team of the month full back - Ian Mort. Also Kurt Haggerty in the line up.....Well done lads :D

you may think I'm an idiot, but it's nice to know I've been judged by my peers.

I like Morty at fullback but also think that Donlan is wasted at Centre also, could we not try Stu at 6, however this is Leigh and we play second rowers there lol

Ian Mort

Appearances - 20
Tries - 13
Goals - 59
Total - 160

There's a few good good reasons why he gets selected.
