Ah well aslong as he is sweet come September/October.

Widdop to 1 and Blair to 6 is what id be doing till Billy gets back and move Justin to the centers.

I think a likely scenario will be a bit of a rotation based on how the game is going. If Gareth is named FB, I wouldn't be surprised to see him slip back into the 6.

I have faith Craig will make the right choice.

What about the option of playing Cam at 5/8 for a week or 2? Might be considered a less physically taxing position than hooker, which he might appreciate after a couple of tough Origin clashes. That then releases Widdop, who has been doing a terrific job at 5/8 and is often unfairly criticised on this site, but I would love to see him have a crack at fullback too. And we know Hinchy will put in a solid performance at hooker.

[STORM MAN]

Yes we have options which is awesome

Duffie or O'neill at the back makes our attack so much easier to read. Imo they've both been very average when put back there.

Need a ball-player like Widdop back there to maintain consistency in our gameplan. Plus Blair can play 6 alot better then Matt or Justin can play 1

[Storm Spirit]

Look peeps....the news could be MUCH worse.

We could also be reading that Storm have signed Darcy Lussick for 3 years on massive coin....

Now that would be depressing news...

On the footy show Lady Luck said that Duffie would move back there

Lussick signed with the Eels yesterday.

I am glad that Billy is going to have to rest. 2008 our players were exhausted come finals time.I think we should rest Cammy and Coops at some stage otherwise we could face the same scenario.I would rather lose a couple of games now than the finals.
