I agree. He's wasted at centre, where he just can't get into the game. I suppose NK is playing him at centre, because we seem to have forgotten to sign a centre, this season. (again!)

Another problem for the coach, is that Mort is a highly promising full back, but I feel we should play Ian on the wing - let's face it, our wings are deployed more as full back's, getting their crumbs of possession from opposition kicks!

So, Donlan for full back, and Mort on the wing - for me.

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.

For me Donlan has to play fullback.....back line would be:-

1. Donlan
2. Mort
3. Alstead
4. Reay
5. Stanton
6. Durbin
7. Watson.

From what we've got, yes possibly - although that has to be one of the smallest back divisions in RL!

Been looking at the back line and would go for

Donlan
mort
reay
rudd
alstead
stanton
durbin

watson on bench with marshy at 13

Stanton at 6?

Backline should look something like this;

1) Donlan
2) Mort/Stanton
3) Higson
4) Reay/Rudd
5) Alstead
6) Watson
7) Durbin

1) Donlan
2) Mort
3) Reay
4) Rudd
5) Alstead
6)???(Ridyard? Marsh? Durbin?)
7) Watson

We desperately need to find a regular 6.
