Quote: Eccleshill Rhino "Graham you will never get Richie to give you a straight answer - when his arguement is defeated - often very easy to do - he will squirm a bit and change the debate if you follow any of his arguements the one he originally starts with is completely different to the one he ends with.

You have to put him on the spot then he has nowhere to go and he will stop posting on that thread simply really.

As I have said before he reminds me of my kids when they are trying to argue - it is childish

It is obvious to everyone that the squad this year is not as strong as last year - Richie arguement is that replacing Ellis/Scruton/Toopi with a younger player doesn't weaken the squad because other players will improve to fill the gap.

This is completely flawed because for every young player coming through you have an older player going backwards e.g. Senior/Peacock/Kylie/Diskin plus you have players who overperform for a couple of years who are unable to maintain that level JJB/Donald.

In all sports teams you need competition for places to bring out the natural competitiveness of players when you have a weaker squad that disappears who is going to replace the players who aren't playing well - Kirke and JJB were both very poor last night and have been for many weeks so who can we bring in to replace them? Burrow's confidence is shot who can we bring in to give him time to get back? Peacock is 30+ and cannot play every week who can we bring in to replace him and still play 4 props?

Perhaps Richie could answer some of the points above expose his opinions for critique rather than the sly way he goes about trying to infuriate others?

This is what I would do for next week

1. Buderus has to start
2. Play Sinfield at 6 and McGuire at 7 as the organiser
3. Play Watkins at left centre and Gibson at right and Senior in the second row
4. Burrow/JJB rested Kirke/Kylie dropped
5. Play Diskin in the 2nd row and bring McShane back in

This whole side needs a shake up and redefining of the structures and the play'"


I'd actually play:

Webb
Hall
Smith (if not Gibson)
Senior
Donald
Sinfield
Burrow
Leulaui
Buderus
Peacock
JJB
Kirke
Diskin

McGuire
Lauitiiti
Bailey
Burgess

Too right, sometimes I just wonder if these people deserve to "support" this team, a team who have won 3 GF in a row and received nothing but stick during each of the 3 seasons.

I wouldn't say they've recieved nothing but stick.

They've still being back by the supporters throughout the season at games and when it mattered at old trafford.

Did you see how empty saints end was?

You'd never get that from us, no matter how unlikely a victory was.

I think that quite a lot of the questions about the squad, tactics and things were valid midway through the season.

In truth, McLennan has sorted out many of the issues, and done the business again. hetherington has addressed many squad issues, and we look stronger than ever for next year.

I think, in general we were fortunate with injuries, although by no means at full strength at any point in the season.
