Or Richard Owen been out of position. No blame for that try should be put on NY. What has Owen done to justify his 4 year deal?

no i dont abuse players

Thought he was only one of a couple who looked like he was playing for the shirt when you came to Fev. Yongquest I mean.

I think it was the wind - it had ruffled his hair and distracted him from the business in hand.

Owen is out of position 9 times out of 10 for everything!
You only have to watch both him and Mathers to realise who is the better of the two positional wise at FB

No he isn't, are you that same idiot?

Like when Mathers bottled it and stayed out of Thompson's way for the first try and got stuck in no mans land for the Youngquest try?



Talk about one of the most misplaced accusations on this forum there

Not really, based on this thread alone it was a pretty good guess especially when you consider the misplaced abuse of Youngquest.

I thought he did ok too, I rate Owen and that tackle was just superb!

Youngquest frequently makes dumb mistakes. Not just the one at the weekend. Plus, chances are he will be out by the end of the season, posing in the USA or whatever he does off the field (training in defence doesn't seem to be one of them things, saying that, you could put most the side down for that)

That bounce wasn't a mistake - he would have needed to be at least 7 foot tall to even get near it!

One of the best players in the team and it's a shame the rest of the squad doesn't put in the same effort as him.

Should've let the ball drop into his hands imo.

I think the basic problem with our wingers is that they don't have decent centres inside them. Never been a fan of Dixon because he is does not pass when he should do, although his kicking has appeared to improve over the last few years. We need a settled back line to improve and I think we should spend the remainder of the season blooding some of the youngsters and giving them gametime now that we don't have much to play for.

Well I’ll stick my two pence worth in and say that both NY and RO always give 100%. There is no doubt that Owen has the enthusiasm, speed, srength and natural talent for him to be one of the best in the game, however he needs a good coach or mentor to guide him away from the odd ‘rush of blood’ moments that he has. It needs doing soon so that his bad habits don’t become too embedded in his game. He needs someone to fine tune his positional play and awareness, and also to give him confidence without complacency. RO has arguably one of the toughest fullback positions to occupy in SL. Cas’s play is so unorganized and unstructured that…well how do you provide the last line of defence, behind a defence with no structure? How do you inject pace into an attacking line, or run at an angle in attack….when we barely have an attacking line etc etc.

Youngquest has for me been one of our better players this year and his effort levels have been tremendous. Again he needs a coach or mentor behind him. We then of course need some decent centres to provide him with good ball. For the sort of money available to Cas I would think that we couldn’t afford much better than NY.
