Good idea to rest him in hindsight, given we won at a canter anyway

Agree. Best save him for tougher opposition!

Shaull? No chance unless TS fancies him at hooker. Mac banana gets in before him. You know nothing. A lot of Aussies who have suffered broken bones or long term injuries appear to come to Super League to prove they’re worth, then go home. It’s happened a lot over the last 5 seasons.

Litten
Swift
Sutcliffe
Scott
McIntosh
Trueman
Clifford
Fash
Houghton
Sao
Tuimavave
Savelio
Cator

Brown, Satae, Dwyer, Staveley

Would be my team. Lane dropped, and Taylor rested. He did a good job in the derby but his shoulder can't be 100% so just give him another week to rest it, no need to push him.

A lot of fans seeing that Carlos to the back row makes sense. Maybe that's why we are all in here, rather than at the University training the side this morning

You might be right, a lot of people also said that about Griffin. Quite similar positions and think he has all the attributes to play there. Whiting, Watkins, Chev Walker Griffin all made the move latter in their career, surley worth a try (can't be any worse than Fash).

I think it would be a good move for Carlos, so I am with everyone on here. However, I can't recall Uncle Tony saying anything about it, or mentioned in the HDM by Dan - I think Scott will play there again before Carlos does

I know Scott has played there before and it's been mentioned by Smith, just Scott playing well in the centre, so I'd leave him there. But think if anyone gets moved it will be Scott.

At this time in his career is Scott big enough for 2 row?. Tuime looks bigger and more physical for it ATM.

Not many on here said that about Griffin moving into the second row.In fact very few
It got pooh poohed by many including the clique who still blindly saw him as a top centre.

When you watch Carlos you can see he has deceptive strength,good footwork,decent defence and a rugby brain.
Think he would easily make the transition

Well you can’t really be watching him buddy, because in his last few games he’s missed tackles, ran the wrong lines, dropped loads of ball, and his brain has been in reverse, his place in the side must be at risk never mind the back row. Hope it’s only temporary mind, I love the guy.
