I know what you mean but you have to look at the poor defence of Griffin. I think Michaels is aware of that and comes inside a metre too much in case he is needed to help Griffin and that leaves him open as he cant line up against the opposition wing when the ball is moved quickly along the line.

Has Turgut played much centre? Had heard him occasionally playing in the u23's last season, not sure how accomplished he is in the role.
Maybe Lancaster to wing and Fonua to centre could work? Unless Naughton is to return?

I think he's played a bit there but Fonua to centre makes sense. Not sure Lancaster v Carney would appeal though.

Ellis had the shoulder prob v wigan. So may or may not Carlos should be back. Tala I'd expect to be..He's been simply saying about giving him time and it's not a worry. Green more of a back spasm. So I'd expect him in too.

Why?I know michaels is the golden boy on here but he got done on his outside 3 times. Three times in tight playing space. The highlights look terrible. The centre will always look bad if any element around him fails. Inside or outside. A wings problem should be his wing. Griffin nearly stops the 1st try after covering a man just 5 metres or so outside of the post Michaels is 10 infield by time Griffins trying to make the tackle
