There you go being selective again.
Why limit it to your first post?
Bewildered posted this
Quote: thaiad24 ""[iI still remember his first season and I'll admit it, I wanted shut of him as he was poor. [/iBut he has turned it around and I've eaten my own words. I think he has been one of the best wingers of the Sl era. He isnt flash he just does the job. i expect a big haul from him this year now he has a recognised centre inside him. Not that im knocking Smith, but Smith tended to go for the line instead of looking for the pass.'"
Within his post he indicated he thought Donald was poor in his first season as highlighted above.
You agreed.
Quote: thaiad24 "[iI agree - [/i1st season i was waiting for him to break the line and run the length of the pitch but it never really happened for him, his second season was much better and he reall pushed on since then, with Senior inside him he scored trys for fun, Smith, yes liked to score himself but I dont get that impression from Delaney, very much looking forward to the Eastwood/Delaney/Donald combo's  Its a very underused term especially with so many bell ends about nowadays

Would you care to mention the games you saw Jones-Bishop being 'a poor winger' in his 1st grade career?'"
All of them.
He's looked very ordinary in the two or three 1st team games he's played on the wing.
he's looked exceptional at full back. |

All as in both of them then. One in 2008 and one in 2009. Ample opportunity for an Academy prospect to fit straight in and yet he was allegedly 'a poor winger' in both.
Anybody else making such vague assessments on such scarce gametime would, I suspect, be taken to task. |

Anybody suggesting that on the basis of those two performances he should replace two time dream team winger Scott Donald as first choice wing man would, quite rightly, be taken to task by me.
Someone who has said BJB is a class full back and they hope our first choice full back within a season or so would be talking great sense. |

Watkins seems to be first reserve for 1-5, which should mean he'll get a few games this year, but eventually he'll need a decent run in the centres.
My point about Donald vs Vainakolo is just a matter of taste - Vainakolo was the better winger in the sense of being a danger when he got the ball, but for me the sight of a fast winger in full flight on the outside and beating the full back is one of the best sights in the game. One of the reasons for all his faults that I loved watching Offiah. Even as an old crock, his try against us at Wembley for the Broncos was a joy to watch IMO.

Would that be in any way similar to someone calling for Kallum Watkins to be retained on the wing at the expense of two time dream team winger Scott Donald, after a single performance V Huddersfield last season? (Watkins was in the team because Hall was away on International duty)
Should you and did you take that poster to task? |
