Get him recovered from his current injury and get a headguard on him I say. He will be useful to us again this year, as last, if we can get him on the field. Didn't Deacs wear a headguard in his early Bradford days? I'm sure he did.



I'm really undecided about Sam. He's a threat in either position but I'd say the calls for him to play at 6 are because our attacking options are being read far too easily. At the moment he's being snuffed out at 1.



I also lament when we go to the air almost every time we're close to the opposition line. I know this creates an opportunity to challenge for the ball and it is a "contest" but a variation in attacking kicks would be to our benefit. A little grubber to force a repeat set never hurt anybody. Kudos to Finch for seemingly aiming for the post and it resulting in a try on debut.



And breathe

Targetted more at 6? He didn't exactly suffer before when defending at 6. Infact, he did quite the opposite. He was particularly good at defending from the marker position. Plus, it was very rare he'd be relied on to take a high ball or make a 1 on 1 last ditch tackle as there was always someone to back up in the tackle.

For the reason why Sam should be 6 and Amos should be 1, see HJ game 2010

Absolutely, Sam should be at 6. He is far more effective when he's in the line and creating things in the halves than he is at FB.



Get him to 6 ASAP.

Should of read this before I posted, absolutely 100% spot on DaveO

Totally agree in the long term but Amos needs to get his confidence back first. Think we need to give him up to a maximum of half a dozen games on the wing and then we can hopefully make that switch.

On paper yes, but since Amos wrapped his knee around the goalpost last year against Wakey he's not looked close to rediscovering that form. For evidence of that, see our game against Huddersfield two weeks ago

Spot on.

I honestly think that Sam should be playing at 6. He has looked threatening from full back, but his lack of distribution is becoming all too predictable. The idea of him being a world beater has evidently gone to his head and he believes he can take on the defence at every opportunity. Roberts has shown that he can create that doubt in the defenders mind of whether he'll pass it or go himself, the latter being what Sam chooses more often than not. People have been very critical of Roberts since he's come back from injury, and it all seems to stem from the game against Huddersfield. No full back in the world was going to catch those kicks and we need to learn the lesson: pressure the kicker! My first post so don't be too harsh!

6 with the occasional 1.

Currently fullback in a few years who knows
