How about trying Hooley at centre? Backs would look like this. Not a world beating backline but choices are limited. Myler Tindall, MacDonald, Hooley, Handley Austin, Johnson/Sinfield

Yes agree with that Seth. Trying to limit the amount of tinkering that has gone on throughout the season. Moving Hooley there means the likes of Myler, Handley and Martin play in their best postions and it keeps Olpherts away from the 17.

Seems to have lost confidence. Was he ever this bad at Cas? Would you constantly play Martin at centre? Yes, but the people around him need to stop jumping out of the line. Would you play Myler at half back? Maybe. I'd still rather play him at full-back than Handley. Would you give Seizer , Bentley , Tetevano and the forgotten winger new contracts ? No, Maybe, No. Do we need a leader? Yes - apparently Smith thinks Handley and Cam Smith have the best leadership qualities, which is fine, but I suspect we need a more vocal leader to complement them, JP or KS style.

exactly the one's martin finishes are from 10-20 yards out happy with a tackling 2nd row like mcdonnell on one side , most of the season martin been leading error maker in league
But true. We just aren't a very good side this year. Still too many poor/underperforming players. I know they've been way off the best but when you look at Sts 1,6,7 and 9 and compare to us you can see why come the pointy end of the season there's a good chance they'll win the title again, while we're likely to be struggling just to make the play offs.

Halfway through the season, still yet to put in an 80 min performance, out of the cup, major signings sat in the stands again, leader less, erratic form id agree with him tbf.
The bonkers thing is weve seen flashes of brilliance from this team we just cant consistently put it together as yet.
