Our back line tonight.

I've been calling for Zak to move to the wing since Bevan came back into the team - I think he should stay there at least until Marshall gets back. Not convinced by Bibby at left centre but probably the best option at the moment.

Why would you move bibby to centre and put zak on the wing?

Agree with you 100% however, it appears that is what we are doing

I don’t see any rationale in this at all

Maybe height up against Gelling? Bibby's always done OK under the high ball though.

You don’t want two players in the side who have potential to make ground forward, so stick to just the one for now and play to our strengths of defending our line.

If Hardaker is playing on the wing then Lam has completely lost the plot. What's the point? Not as if he will get a run there

Re: Next game v Leigh : Mon May 17, 2021 6:27 pm  

Hardaker on the wing is on the team sheet and that is his 17.
Lam can start that 13 in any position he wants.
He wouldn't be the first coach to name players out of position then play them elsewhere.
If he runs with that 13 as it is named then he knows an awful lot that we don't but if that's a straight selection then what the heck?

I'm more annoyed about Smithies moving back to 13 tbh.

Nonsense - it was the right thing to do as soon as French got back.

Another good start then
