[quote="King Monkey":30st820n]Maybe a spell in prison would do Graham good. At least he'd lose his virginity.[/quote:30st820n]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18919.jpg



Does anyone else think Watkins should have played today? Gibson has some good skills, and he's a clever player, but he just doesn't have the physical attributes (pace, size, power) to be a top SL centre. Yes Watkins is young and some parts of his game are raw but he offers the team another dimension that is really needs at the moment in attack.

And Toopi only reached the heady heights of average. Last time we had threat on the right was with Chev Walker and Calderwood in 2004/5.

Full Back Brent Webb
Left Wing Scott Donald
Left Centre Keith Senior
Right Centre Lee Smith
Right Wing Ryan Hall

This is how i hope we will Line Up from now on with Kallum Watkins on the Interchange bench, Ashley Gibson for me just isn't good enough, Physically he isn't strong enough to break through a defence (Senior) and he doesn't have a good turn off pace or the ability to step through and creat something out of nothing (Watkins)...

Have said it all along Gibson offers absoloutly nothing in attack or defence.
he has shown zero for reserves this season also, and i dont understand why he has been moved up ??? Ablett would have been a better option today.
Watching watkins in the reserves he was absoloutly appalling, he tried ridiculous offloads and fancy passes the first five times he touched the ball
and lost it every time.
Defensively, a poor salford side ran in all but one of their tries down his side...he was terrible.....bring back smith for me.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif



Watkins looked average in the reserves and insisted on throwing it into touch on the majority of his attacking runs

Gleeson over either of them icon_smile.gif

Remind me who was the one whining and singing Gibson's praises when someone dared be negative about him last year?

Who was right?

I disagree wth all of you.

Gibson had pace. This is his 3rd game back and I thought he had a decent game today. At full fitness he adds a lot to the team. Give him chance before writing him off... please.

I've seen enough and that includes before his injury.

Not big enough, not fast enough, not explosive enough.

A couple of good passes but nothing much else. I'm not jumping on his back after a loss I've been saying it all season to anyone who cares to listen.

That's fair enough. Who do you think should be playing in the other centre position then (assuming Senior is everyones first choice) ? Or do we need to buy?
