Best game so far last week in centres

maybe if monas knows briers is leaving it may make the situation a bit more tolerable for him.

i wouldn't be adverse to keeping monas and getting myler but who would play stand off?

Mathers?

I don't know why we take the comments at face value. Monaghan might well be here again next season.

For goodness sake, no he doesn't.

Thats my opinion JWP, like it or loathe it i wont change my mind.

Who would you have replace him?

McGuire from leeds?

I'm almost certain that would involve something near a world record fee.

id prefer him over sinfield or burrows.

if we are gonna splash the cash lets get McGuire and Myler.

If only it was that simple

who would you have at s/h cockers?

Scrum half?

Right now, Orford. Maybe with Myler as back up. I have no qualms with Briers staying on at stand off. We're seeing a revitalised Briers and we're winning games because of it.

sorry i meant stand off



i get the impression briers form has been sparked by the fact that he needs a new contract from somewhere.

i fear that if we gave him a new one he would go back to his comfort zone and start playing within himself again.

I don't think we have a coach who would let him get away with that anymore.

McGuire would be a great signing, but you could get Dobson for less and he'd do just as good a job

is dobson a stand off or half back, i always thought he was the latter.

You're right he's a scrum half not a stand off. Some people on here don't seem to know the difference between the two.

Dobson isnt good enough in my opinion , he could not make it in the Nrl. Would rather have Myler or a genuine top first grader from Aus.

True.

Sam Tomkins for me then

I apologise for making a mistake and bow to your superior knowledge

no thanks, that lad is a flash in the pan.

from what ive seen he is not gonna be good enough for first grade.

wigans jewel in the crown is ainscough not sam tomkins.

Tomkins would improve vastly under the tenure of a better coach in my opinion.

Wigan aren't exactly impressing too much anywhere on the field, apart from Ainscough.

I've never seen what the big hoo-ha is about Dobson. Good kicker and that is it.

could you tell me the difference then apart from the numbers then sir.

A scrum half is usually the first receiver and is there to give the ball to the forwards.

A stand-off would usually play at second receiver and distribute the ball to the backs.

Both usually have kicking games, but the 7 is usually more of an organiser, and the 6 more of a ball runner.

That's my basic understanding anyway, but I realise there is less distinction between the two roles in the modern game.
