Second Row

2nd row presumebly.

Watch him get moved to 2nd row next match now...

We are going to be a bit short in the 2nd row dept next match if the injuries are as severe as I think

With Solo and Langley out I reckon we'd have Menzies and Cook in the 2nd row with Morrison at LF. Worrincy on the bench with Koppy and Godwin.

I'd pick either Crookes or Crossley as 17th man.

Assuming Platt stays at FB. We may need to put Crookes straight in to centre.

History would suggest that the backs will stay the same though for 2 weeks time

If McNamara goes with what most people on her are suggesting it will be Sykes at full back and Crookes at centre or some are even suggesting that Platt is tried at centre.

TBH I reckon McNamara will continue with Platt next week. I think Platt got that set of dodgy photos from McAvoy that he used to get picked despite him patently not being up to it. All I can say is these photos must be pretty bad if Platt can get a 3 year deal!

I too would be tempted to play Sykes at FB with Crookes at centre.

we have plenty of cover in each position its weather or not macca has the balls to give the young lads a shout

Platt did nothing wrong today bar going in to touch their were players on the field who contributed far less and made more errors.

Stop it. This thread is the Death to Platt thread. All moderates go away.

we have 4 other 2nd rowers in our squad who did not feature today worrancy, tate, olbison, whitehead, so no need for a reshuffle of 1st grade players, macca grow some nuts and give em a shot, you may be suprised

I'd like to see Sam at LF myself. His handling skills are excellent and I think he'd flourish.

Not that he played badly today, mind!

I've always said that i'd like to see him at Loose Forward.

Why take him away from his best position which is a ball handling prop forward.

Just to see how wll he plays there, he could be even better than at Prop Forward.

IMO when he plays 13 he tries to do everything at prop he just does whats asked of him

Yeah I suppose, if he's already accomplished at international level as a Prop Forward then why bother changing it! Just thought that if we are struggling at Loose Forward then why not give it a try.

We are short on props, once Lynch is back, maybe then move Burgess to 13

He looked ok today but still lacked the pace to make him a top class centre for us. And every move seemed to stop as soon as he got ball..

Though worst player for that has to be langley!

He took his try well and showed lots of strength. He half beat his man on almost every occasion but I thought Morrison was so good I couldn't look past him for MOM.

It surprised me that Nero wasn't better for Bradford last season. He seems to be sorting himself out now though.

Platt was OK. He picked up the ball at the back, showed a bit of urgency and ran hard out of defence, something we`ve all been asking for.

In hindsight going for the touchline wasn`t the money option but if he`d finished up putting the ball down between the sticks we`d have been saying what a fantastic move it was.
