He played 6 at the tigers. Have to get through 80 in that position. I would try this and give him some if the kicking. Then drop IDG and start Lichaa with Penani as bench to inject some dummy half speed.

Move a hooker to the halves to move a half to hooker..... right.

For me we have to play Penani at 6. From what Holdsworth has shown he isn't capable of adding anything. Penani wasn't any good in his game either but he is a young bloke so would rather give him a go.

Jmo has played everywhere, he's played in the halves a lot more than Lewis. Bench dummy half doesn't have to be a conventional 9, he can be a utility. Josh Mccrone shifted from a career in the halves to hooker just fine this year. Robson is going nowhere, and they won't start Penani at 6, so this would give him a role.

So you don't think they would play Penani at 5/8 yet you think they would play him as a bench hooker..... right.

JMO is a hooker and Penani is a half. If Penani is going to get a run it won't be with JMO playing in the halves (unless Robbo, Carney and Holdsworth are out).

yeh no idea why you would do that, either penani or holdsworth need to play 6

morris is a hooker now, and i wouldnt drop de gois, i thought he was good against parra
Holdsworth is injured and they won't play Penani at 6 is why. Jmo has more halves experience than Lewis and he has a kicking game.

Degois is being played in a position from the bench that is there to value add. He doesn't.

And Lewis is back rower while we're pointing out the obvious.

Let me put this in a way even Jimbob would understand.

Do you really think we would move a hooker to the halves so we could play a half as a hooker?

Repeating yourself isn't helping, you should try addressing a post instead. We currently have a back rower as a half, so we're already playing 6 out of position. Bench 9 is not a conventional role. Half to hooker is not that crazy. Mccrone? See now I'm just repeating myself.

A bench hooker is still playing the role of hooker.

True but they often have a specific role when they come on, and they play less minutes. Penani would have a could totally play 9. He'd offer a lot more than Devoid. Preston Campbell played dummy half from the bench and he ain't no hooker.

**** you can't be this stupid.

Half to hooker isn't crazy if you need an option for hooker.

What is just plain ****ing stupid is a swapping a specialist hooker to the halves for a specialist half to play hooker.

Lets play Gibbs on the wing and Beau Ryan at prop while we are at it.

Penani on the bench I would be fine with (although I don't think he would work as a hooker) but not if we move JMO to the halves for it.

Deano's just so excited by his catchy line about swapping halves and hookers that he just keeps repeating it as a substitute for actually debating a point. I'm used to it.
