If we need to spell Lunt, Sinfield to hooker and Ward to SO.

I'd be happy with this. I hope Brian keeps his opinion that we should leave a concussed Burrow on before we put Webb back on!

Like how Webb is judged on a similar scale to the Anti-Christ by some on here.



'fickle' doesn't even cover it.

Absurd the lengths that some are going to to keep our most creative available player out of the line-up.



Semi-Final team with Webb at half-back. Absolutely obvious selection.

Losing McGuire is a big blow.



I have said previously that Webb should slot in as his direct replacement at HB .... As he was meant to be doing at Wakefield, before we discovered the farcical actual shifting around of postions on the field to accomodate Webb back at FB.



There can be no doubt room will be made for the prodigal son to return.



Alternatively I would shift Burrow to SH ( with the command to jump into DH often and regularly ). Promote Lunt to starting hooker and leave that room on the bench for Webb.



If Burrow starts at hooker, Bailey should be starting LF with Ward on the bench, otherwise the reverse, if Lunt starts at hooker.

.

I might be way off here...



but is anyone else thinking we should recall Liam Hood ASAP? (if possible)

If we pick up another injury - to any one of Burrow, Sinfield, Lunt or Ward - at Catalans, we'll be very skinny on pivot players.

Just a bit of insurance and (I know he's been away for a while) surely better than considering playing an out of form fullback out of position?



As for Webb - I really feel for the fella, as he's been a great servant to the club. The only problem with him is we never know what we're going to get. It's almost like he has a multiple personality disorder. One minute he's an attacking genius, setting up wonderful tries. The next, he's a petulant child, swinging at people's heads, gobbing off, sliding in with his knees and doing his best to single-handedly give away penalties/scores. If only he had a better temperament, he'd be nailed on for Wembley.

Hood is already back he played for the U20's on friday.

Aaaahhhhhh.... missed that. Was just me then!

We could always play senior at centre, you know out of loyalty? We did it in 2005...



Sorry, but his performances dictate how he is judged. Fickle would be calling for him to be dropped after 2/3 performances.

It's the venom that seems to have swirled up that I don't like.



Some enjoy sticking the boot in. I believe he deserves more respect.



The up-rising of Zak is great for the club, and you have to evolve as a team. I'm a huge fan of Zak, I love his confidence and natural ability to find gaps, make gaps in such an ad-libbed way.



The Wakefield game was a disaster for Webb. Apart from that which games specifically are you basing this on?

I'm basing it on my opinion of him over the last 18 months. His attacking ability is brilliant, but it's his petulance and absolutely dismal tackling attempts that I don't like. He always used to have a gob and I didn't used to mind so much, but so often now he is arguing with the ref when he is blatently in the wrong and giving away penalties whilst in posession. It clearly rubs off on the players around him when he plays as well. He deserves as much respect as he seems to be showing our team, the officials and opposition players at the moment.



Zak is far from the finished article, but I would prefer an honest mistake from Zak over a brain-fart from Webb in the final.
