Will there be changes on Saturday?. : Mon Oct 27, 2014 3:51 pm
Fullback and halfback would be the positions I would look at to make the team more solid and at the same time give a bit of pace at halfback.Against Samoa Sam at times looked a bit dodgy under the high ball and by bringing Hardaker in at fullback Sam could go to halfback thereby bringing much needed pace and guile to the position.
This though would raise a few other problems to be taken into consideration, if Sam was at halfback who would partner him.
Widdop took his goals very well and was steady in attack, Smith had a good kicking game with ball in hand, but as fans have said on here he would be far more effective if he just teased the defence a few times by threatening to go himself.
Does he play Widdop for his goal kicking or play Smith for his better tactical kicking game and let him take the goal kicks as well, another alternative is use Stefan Ratchford who is also in the squad.
As for the forwards Lockers to come back (only if fit) and for me Whitehead in for J Tomkins.
Some interesting decisions to be made.
