Our best team for next year : Wed Dec 24, 2014 11:53 am  

what is it? I reckon:

1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
18. Sutcliffe
13. Sinfield
17. Cuthbertson
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
16. Achurch
12. Ablett
15. Delaney

7. Burrow
8. Leuluai
11. Jones-Buchanan
20. Singleton

There is no way McGuire doesn't start in the halves.

Re: Our best team for next year : Wed Dec 24, 2014 2:58 pm  

I'd like to see us lineup as:
1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. McGuire
8. Cuthbertson
9. Burrow
10. Peacock
11. Ablett
12. Delaney
13. Ward/Walters

14. Sutcliffe
15. Singleton
16. Leuluai
17. JJB

I'd like to see Sutcliffe come on in the halves (or with halfback responsibilities) in most games either with Sinfield shifting to either LF or a spell at hooker, or as a straight swap for McGuire.
It then leaves us with both Leuluai & Singleton who should make a decent impact at prop and JJB to come in and give us a bit of pace and enthusiasm in the pack.

Personally can see sutcliffe fitting Into loose forward role in the sinfield style of Lock

Re: Our best team for next year : Wed Dec 24, 2014 8:36 pm  

Strongest team is the 1-17 squad numbers, with one change and that's Sutcliffe for Ward.

Then it's just a matter of who starts, and I'd expect that to be Burrow at hooker and Leuluai at prop, Sinfield & McGuire in the halves.

Yeah I think that's probably what will happen, I just think Sutcliffe needs to be in the halves role more. Doing more of the playmaking and kicking. We play a different game to what we did when we had McGuire at 6, Burrow at 7 and Sinfield at 13 which means the 13 is used much more as a forward than as an extra half. Plus with Sinfield being captain and a senior member of the team he was involved enough in the playmaking/kicking etc wherever he played. Whereas I can see Sutcliffe at 13 just doing tackling and running and not much halfback stuff.
Whereas if he's put in at halfback he'll have to do some.

I see this as my side Aiton to only play if injuries dictate he does - I would like to see better sub rotation and some of the youngsters getting a game against the weaker sides. With Sinfield a definite regardless of form McGuire will have to raise his game on a more consistent basis if he is to keep Sutcliffe out

Re: Our best team for next year : Thu Dec 25, 2014 12:29 pm  

Fooking heck Burrow to hooker?
He is at best a scrum half he is certainly not a first choice hooker.
Robbie Ward is a better interchange hooker with Aiton.
Sinfield as no other choice at 6 with Burrow or McGuire at 7.
Personally do not think that will send shock waves through our opposition but that is what we have.
1 to 5 speaks for itself.
Cuthbertson and JP as prop
Delaney and Ablett SR
Sutcliffe at Loose
Kylie, Singleton, JJB or Achurch R Ward, Burrow or S Ward warming up the bench

Re: Our best team for next year : Sat Dec 27, 2014 9:06 am  

Now that Handley 'looks the part' I would like to see Moon making way in the 'obvious choice' 1 to 5 and being given a good run at SO alongside McGuire/Burrow at SH. (Not gonna happen though I know). If McGuire starts then Burrow as "super sub"; but not vice versa.

Sinfield would be my starting hooker with S.Ward or Sutcliffe being given an extended run at LF.

Achurch should start as right side second row with Ablett of course on t'other side.

A beefed up Delaney would be moved up to prop for me with Cuthbertson (Peacock and JJB should be used sparingly; Mulhern and Singleton given plenty of opportunities either as starting props or on the bench and Kylie trained in water carrying duties.)
