IIRC he played a couple of times at 7 for Cas or am I completely making that up ? Not purposely anyway

According to [url=http://www.slstats.org/p309/Wayne%20Godwin.htmlthis[/url, he played one game there for Wigan in 2005.

And according to [url=http://www.rleague.com//db/player/k/kearney_brett/index.phpthis[/url, Brett Kearney played one game at SH (or HB) for Cronulla in 2006.

Good find that.

I've just taken a look at the Wigan side for that game and it was:

Radlinski(c)
Aspinwall
Wild
Vaealiki
Dallas
Melling
Godwin
Seuseu
Newton
Guisset
Hansen
Tickle
Beswick
SUBS
Allen
Colbon
J.Coyle
Prescott

Missing for Wigan that day, include Brian Carney, Danny Orr, Dennis Moran, Gareth hock, Kevin Brown, Sean O'Loughlin and Danny Sculthorpe.

Since Orr, Moran, Brown & O'Loughlin are all experienced in the halves, it looks a lot like he was about 5th (or even 6th) choice, which probably goes a long way to saying how much of a half he is



I always thought he might be ok at 7 myself, but looking at that evidence, I'm starting to suspect not.

It all depends what you expect him to do at SH. Deacon got through a decade on a kicking game; when Saints were at their peak under Millward he had all sorts turning out at 7. You need your key players in the 1,6,7,9 & 13 positions to be familiar with the game plan & each other. As long as he didn't try to be Alex Murphy he could do a decent job. Andrew Johns played 9 a number of times for Aus.

I thought that Robert Hawthorne might have been included in the squad, he looks really good.
