If Rads is not fit I expect to see Dallas go to fullback, Richards on the wing and Brown into the centre - I can't see him risking a young lad (bad) or Brown (worse) at fullback so early in the season. Especially against one of the best kicking playmakers in the business.
Don't think that we will bring Sculthorpe back from Cas - it's not as it he is going to play second row is it! Fingers crossed that Hock is fit by then

I wouldn't say that Chris Ashton or Chris Melling are bad Full Backs but experiance is an important thing when playing at Full Back.
I think Dallas will move to Full Back if Ashton or Melling is not selected as it is move Millward would make. He made a comment last season about Dallas being a danger at Full Back because he returns the ball quick. He also put Darren Albert at full back once or twice when he was at saints.

its simple no rads ,well put richards to full back (rumoured to be 1 of the best catchers of the ball in sl) and kev the muscles brown at centre,if stacey jones is going to kick us off the park we need a good catcher there(maybe get carney back,to catch)

I think Dallas performance at fullback last season and Richards usual position as winger will leave a gap at centre for Kev Brown should Radders still be injured.
Whilst I really rate Dallas and admire how hard he works he isn't the winger he used to be. We rarely see kicks to his wing, whether this has anything to do with halfbacks playing poorly I'm not sure but I can't see how having arguably the best wingers from SL and NRL last season on our wings would be a bad thing.

Please don't ever say we miss Aspinwall Pie Eaters. I'm still recovering from the 'goodbye Martin Aspinwall' party i have been celebrating for the past few months.
