Wonder who Hampshire is now cover for?



Looks like Paterson, Stewart (I hope not!) or Langi for stand off?

Go on, I'll have a go at picking the 17,It ain't easy this one.

McNally
Clare
Brown
Fleming
Dawson
Langi
Drinkwater
Maria
Higham
Tickle
Paterson
Vea
Hansen

Pellisier
Hopkins
Burr
Stewart

I'd go with Pelissier at stand off..

His season is over.One reason I would not move Langi anywhere.

Quote ="Cokey"No Hampshire www.rugby-league.com/superleague ... view/50373'" I would not have selected him either, I have seen him play 6 for us this season against Leeds and at Widnes and he was woeful on both occasions. He is a winger at best, and I would not play him there ahead of Clare, Brown, Dawson or Higson so he is way way down the list for a recall.

Langi will be at stand off.

It's just gets better. 16 and half stone halfback that must be a record. Who plays centre? Let me guess.

Robert Lui is a bit of a beast, although have to see I really don't see Langi there either. Passing doesn't look much, does he have a kick in him
Fleming @ centre

Thought McNally may have got a run at half with Brown dropping back

Anyhoose, it is what it is - all we can do is back em, but it could be a long 80 mins this

Lui is a dedicated 14 stone half.. Langi would $hit himself put in that position. McNally is FB what has been is history. Let's get real,Atkins is out,leave Langi alone.

Didn't he play there for Tonga in the World Cup game at LSV?

Didn't Woody play at Hilton Park at wearing different colours?

I was thinking McNally to 6, Brown to fullback and Paterson to centre.
But, now I know Langi has played 6 I would love to see him running at the opposition from there. I think that could create all kinds of gaps for the likes of McNally or overlaps out wide as defence folds in to stop Langi. With Drinkwater and Reynolds together we seem to lack a halfback who takes on the line enough.
Langi to 6 gets my vote.

Langi has played 6 and Lock alot of his career. Small minds on here. I know he hasnt played 6 for us but its worth a shot. Our attack has looked toothless as of late id welcome a running 6 that would cause problems!

Its not a case of small minds,you answered your own opinion,he's not played 6 for us,thats the concern.Just glad there are others around if it goes t$ts up.

He can't do any worse than what we got I thought Patterson went well when played there earlier in season

Probably, but I don't really think he's an option at half back now.

(I bet we didn't get him registered before the deadline)

Yes and it is worth noting most of his early career was forged as a 6.

I am really looking forward to watching him. Let's see how Brown and young Declan Patten handles that as well.

Forecast is shocking so more smash and grab and grunt in the middle may not be a bad ploy.

Reynolds and Drinkwater dont take the line on and even though they know the moves inside and out, they havnt been exactly creative have they ?

Leigh need to enjoy playing this game as Warrington dont seem interested and seem to think they are too good for the middle 8's. We play better away !!

Put Stewart in at 6 ,folk keep saying he's a ball handler.

That is just bad coaching Charlie.

Stewart is a fantastic defender put passing a ball from first / second receiver ? NO ! It makes it easier to defend due to the delayed pass.

So they say, but, for me, he does seem to have difficulty passing, re-adjusting the ball in his hands, before he releases a somewhat 'wobbly' pass!

Trouble is though Harold, that in 'today's game', half backs rarely get the chance to run at each other. In defence, the half backs tend to get shoved as far away from the action as possible, often outside the winger. At the scrum, you usually find the opposing prop lining up against your stand off!

Mind you, with Langi at stand off, the opposition may not be targeting him in defence!

Snowy my post was tongue in cheek, people keep saying he's playing to instructions from the Coaching Staff, but surely they must see it isn't working .

Alan, I'm not sure who on the Coaching Staff thinks he is a ball player, but surely they can see by now he isn't .
