But from people I know at Huddersfield he considers himself a centre who has to play in the back row from time to time.

Well he's deluded if he thinks he's a centre!

Can we go into a season with Jeffries and Deacon as halfbacks? I don't fancy having to rely on Menzies and Morrison to fill in? Deacon's hamstrings are becoming a bit of a concern and Jeffries needs the threat of losing his place hanging over him to improve his consistency and effort.

Give Tupou a decent centre next year and actualey play to his strengths and he'll go very well. People need to realise he's not the same type of player as Lesley.

I'm not convinced on that one I'm afraid. If Tupou thought he could cut it on the wing... why try mould himself into a new position in the pack? He seems to pick up his fair share of injuries also.. if we get the opportunity to release him.. we should in my opinion.

Only if we could get a decent replacement.

Are there any ex-Wakey players available?

Most teams only have the 2 recognised one then use academy player's why don't we try it for a change.

Because his confidence was shot after the poor way McNamara handled the whole episode.

Kieran Hyde and Keal Carlile will both be 19 during next season how long do you wait to give them ago.

We'll see.. but whilst I hope he can turn his career around at Bradford I currently see him as more of a passenger than a vital piece of the jigsaw.

Most teams have players elsewhere in the first team that can fill in at halfback, as well as the youngsters.
