Just wondered what peoples opinions are on Tim being given a chance at Scrum - half which i am told is Tims natural position with the option of then moving TL to hooker which occured in the World Cup?

This way Wigan can continue to give an opportunity to Tomkins.

Has Smith ever played at the scrum half position yet?

Once against Wakefield when we opted that same ploy except for O'loughlin was at stand off and not Tomkins.

Which hooker would you drop, and why?






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Personally i would drop Mclorum and see how we fare with TL as a back up hooker, the reason being as it seemed to work wonders for New Zealend in the World Cup.

I would like to see this against Salford...

6. Tomkins
7. Smith
9. Riddell

Sub. Tommy

If Smith is going to play a game then I think the Salford game is a good time to do this. Bringing Smith in means we can either use Tomkins or Tommy off the bench with Tommy going to hooker.

Also when he has played there this season, we have looked a totally different team, with much more energy and more dynamic, and he seems like he has more energy there than any of the others (appart from riddel in the bradford game).

Riddell or McClorum both don't deserve to be dropped. Simple as that.

No need to change around the team cos of the leeds game. We were caught cold against the champs. If anything Sam and Tommy need time to gel their game.

Correct

If only there was a way where we could keep Smith out and have Tommy at hooker 8)

Dropping Riddell/McIlorum would be an awful call IMO both are playing fantastic.

Tim Smith need's to buck his idea's up, and force his way into the team, force Noble to pick him. Whether that be due to injuries or just poor form.
