mid table full back yes. but he is the best we have at present

He has been our best player since moving to full back

Id have to question that assessment of martin, some stuff he's done well ie line breaks but some has been awful ie decision making in good ball and positioning in defence and missed tackles.

I did say pretty well, im just not sure who else id put there, isnt he our top try scorer at the moment?

Martin, Newman, Handley, McDonald, Olpherts and Tindall are all poor in defence.
They all make bad decisions and mis-read the play or shoot the line.
That's why we leak tries out wide.

all things being equal wouldn't have martin at all can't run far enough for 2nd row/centre

Can’t run far enough, eh?

Plays 80mins every week, makes line breaks, but can’t run far enough

I think he's a good player just not a centre as the faults I mentioned are too significant.

For all my creeping doubts about RS I'm glad we've not got Ian Watson who does nothing but give excuses from who's missing to playing teams in form to playing away from home, and now publicly naming and shaming his players. Yeah, no wonder they're not performing for you Ian.

I don't like the name Ian either.

Don’t forget using that infamous sloping pitch as an excuse this week.

I don’t like Watsons style of coaching at all, process and percentages driven rugby is tedious

Is Seth short for Ian in the same way Kate is short for Bob?

Is this a blackadder reference

My all time fav programme. Just love it, can repeat whole episodes of it with a massive smile on my face…

... And you can now only say Bob in that way?

He was. I don't think he would be now even if he does get shifted back.

How about trying Hooley at centre?
Backs would look like this.
Not a world beating backline but choices are limited.
Myler
Tindall, MacDonald, Hooley, Handley
Austin, Johnson/Sinfield

No more square pegs. He's not a centre, even less so than Martin. After how his only performance v kr went, not what he or the team needs.

Mate, I can only read it that way too.

Yes agree with that Seth.
Trying to limit the amount of tinkering that has gone on throughout the season.
Moving Hooley there means the likes of Myler, Handley and Martin play in their best postions and it keeps Olpherts away from the 17.

exactly the one's martin finishes are from 10-20 yards out happy with a tackling 2nd row like mcdonnell on one side , most of the season martin been leading error maker in league

Paul Sculthorpe has made a fairly public appraisal of the Rhinos not very flattering at all.

But true. We just aren't a very good side this year. Still too many poor/underperforming players. I know they've been way off the best but when you look at Sts 1,6,7 and 9 and compare to us you can see why come the pointy end of the season there's a good chance they'll win the title again, while we're likely to be struggling just to make the play offs.

Halfway through the season, still yet to put in an 80 min performance, out of the cup, major signings sat in the stands again, leader less, erratic form id agree with him tbf.

The bonkers thing is weve seen flashes of brilliance from this team we just cant consistently put it together as yet.
