Why waste a perfectly good backrower. I have thought for a few tears that Cockayne has the makings of a good six, he is quick, gets through a gap, tackles well, backs up on kicks very well. Good president as well, remember Steve Hartley making a switch for the better and Mike Smith did the same later on. Leon Pryce has done the same in recent years as well.

Not doubting at all that Ben could possibly do a decent job but whenever Galea has had to step into the position he has been very good. I maybe wouldn't change it around as it has done us well in the past.

Not good enough to be a long term replacement in my eyes.

I don't agree with that. He improved immensely last season and i would like to see him given a go at stand off. He was outstanding in the win at Saints and has performed well when called on despite having to play in a variety of positions. His best years are ahead of him and it would be foolish to write him off so easily imo.

Agreed, he's not been given a decent go at stand off. There is no basis upon which to dismiss his ability in that position.

I never worry when i see Chaz's name on the teamsheet, whatever position he is asked to play, because he is an intelligent player who can adapt.
I also think that he would benefit greatly from a sustained run in one position. Only then would we see the true extent of his ability. In my opinion he has the talent to make the 6 and possibly 13 jersey his own given the opportunity.

Do you think next season (2011) you could see?:
6. I'anson
7. Dobson
9. Spaven/Hodgson
13. Murrell

Of course we COULD assuming Chaz and Spaven have their contracts extended into 2011.
I would also throw Kristian Bell and Dave Peterson into the battle for the 6 and 13 shirts for 2011.

I would love to know where and how if your going on the new season?.
