Playing on the wing eh! Why did they do that again. Why put a back row forward/or centre on the wing I wonder. They could have easily put Clarkson there.

They did it so Minns will sign his mediocre 1/2 year deal, which rumour has it, he has declined.

Seems a nice lad though, I am pleased for him, but there must be others in the team not so happy.

Sorry if I haven't followed your previous posts closely on this but is that a 'one to two year deal' or a 'half year deal' ?

For a debut?
Young 'uns are often quick ... I seem to recall Chev Walker debuting the same way.

And for further balance Craig Huby played Friday night. At least I think he did. Didn't he?

Yup Huby did and scored a try.

If a winger scoring a try made Vickery a superstar according to some at Manchester the other week imagine the adulation if a prop goes over. Speaking of which nice to see Kirke busting them up as well.

1 to 2 year. Only speculation of course.

Aye. And he made a break with an offload. Had a decent game. 13 carries as well. Monumental for him. More of the same please.

I didn't see a whole lot of difference, but as I said, it was the lads debut and a young guy is always going to show a few deficiencies defensively. Whether he turns out to be a whole lot better who knows. If today's news about Briscoe is true then it won't really matter for long.

By the way, I'm not a defender of Vickery. I called his abilities out in preseason after watching him for just 80 odd minutes when I'm sure I remember one person comparing him to a younger version of Pat Richards on here. I'm sure one or two then pulled me up because I had the audacity to say someone who scored 4 tries in 2 halfs looked nothing more than average.

I know come people think i have an "ego" on here but I don't pretend to think I know everything because I don't. I get things wrong, but I also don't post on here unless I'm pretty sure about something where as other just like to say whatever pops on their head

Can you name one person who labelled Vickery a superstar after scoring a try?

I'll volunteer as one of those defending Vickery from unwarranted criticism. Not his fault BM kept picking him.

Agenda from somone who would have Diskin back..

Zero credibility, move on, nothing to see here.

Err, isn't his agenda the same as yours in that post?

Speaking of zero credibility...
