Bibby and Isa may end up at centre if Hardacre leaves and Thornley does not fill Gildarts boots!
Isa especially, if Bateman and Farrell are the regular second row!
Be prepared!
Hardaker is all over our new kit promotions, so i reckon that's a good indication that he is commited to next season.
I would say bibby getting the 2 shirt is more a show of respect for a play who has been here a couple seasons now and had a solid season last time around, rather then an indication of playing position.
I think with the way its looking re. french and his prep for the season, we will see hardaker starting at fullback, bibby in centre and miski starting on the wing, Could work out well giving us a chance to assess who is looking better off the rip between thornley / bibby and how miski holds up at SL level (from what i have seen of him i think he has all the right attributes). Then as we get french ready to join the side, move hardaker back to centre and fit the best performers in around that.
