Serious question- Is Lilley really that bad that it's better to play out of position players??

Who is out of position?

McGuire and Moon have been first choice halves for months now and Lilley is doing a covering job from the bench in place of Burrow.

Moon has easily been one of our top 3 performers this season (with Parcell & Cuthbertson), players do switch positions throughout their careers.

Save journey down lads, hope its a cracker,

i agree

Golding
Briscoe Watkins Sutcliffe/Keinhorst Hall
Mcguire Moon
Garbutt Parcell Cuthbertson
Ablett Ward
JJB

Singleton Garbutt Sutcliffe/Keinhorst Lilley/Ferres

YEP has a story today on Ferres saying he'll miss this one but be back for Wigan next week, so unless something changes then looks like Liam Sutcliffe back in. Jordan Roberts has been named in the 19's team for tonight's game so obviously isn't expected to be needed.

Harsh on the likes of jjb ablett Watkins hall moon and ward.

Even McGuire who has been a leader in the last three funals he has played in. 4/5 if you include 2012 grand final.

Obviously it's a different leadership to sinfield but that's life.

Even without Kev I'm 100% confident

Me too.

Having loads of players who have played at OT on multiple occasions and who only really know the winning feeling from that place can only give you a big advantage were we to meet a side with little experience like Cas, who would go there with not just the pressure of playing in front of a 75k cauldron, but also be favourites to boot.

Lots of water to go under the bridge yet and can't be getting ahead of ourselves, but Wigan would be the only side i would fear at OT from here.

Back on topic and to tomorrows game... weather forecast for sunny spells and 20 degrees, two near full strength squads so looking forward to a good quality semi

I've got a good quality semi just thinking about the game tomorrow!

Ferres in and no Sutcliffe it seems

Presume that means Watkins kicking at goal. I would have found a place for sutcliffe at FB, assuming he is fit.
Having said that hope golding has a blinder and would love to see him score his first try today.

Great finish by Hall - Fonua was flapping at nothing. Good start, apart from our RW under the high ball...

Briscoe has been struggling but that one that led to Kelly's try he was clearly fouled jumping for the ball.

Did Briscoe even touch that?

No he didn't. I was thinking that when watching the replay, should've have been another set for Hull.

Great forward pass to finish the half off -.-

outplayed and outthought.no attacking threat, no direction, no game plan.

Be a much different game if we had the Briscoe of 2/3 years ago. We might as well be playing with 12 men. Has to be replaced next year.

Briscoe's clearly trying to engineer a move away - dire once again. Didn't get off the ground for the last try.

I know people love to make Briscoe the scapegoat.

But we cant leave the kicker to place it wherever he wants then leave Briscoe to deal with 2 or 3 on rushing players from a standing start. Mcdermott really should have sorted this at half time.

Commentators also saying he hasnt any help.

Is this a game of soccer? Awful flops from FC
