Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you! - Winston Churchill:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40515.jpg



Quote: Sal Paradise "You would expect that as moving the ball from right to left is by far the easiest motion for a right handed player.'"


You would certainly not expect it if he was a "ball hog" which was the point I was contesting. Anyway a professional rugby player should have no difficulty passing either way, it is the lack of willingness to pass that is the issue.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg

Not as effectively, it is the same for every team - more tries will be scored down the left than the right.

Well if you say so Sal as you always know best, but hang on a minute the following record breaking right wingers would have cause to challenge you on your assumption.

Wild Rosenberg Leeds club record for tries in a season 48
Brian Bevan record for career tries 796 and second in most tries in a season 72
Albert Rosenfeld record holder for tries in a season 80 and 391 in career
Billy Boston 478 tries in 488 appearances
Tom Van Vollenhoven 392 career tries and another legend of the game
I could go on with Clive Sullivan, Jason Robinson and our own Alan Smith etc

So basically the SL tries number shows exactly the same, that Hall's tries dried up significantly immediately following Moon's arrival? I like Moon as a player, but the numbers back up the fact that he's simply not a good winger's centre.

I do agree that its a problem throughout the game, including the NRL where someone like Euan Aitken can get close to Origin despite having almost no passing game to speak of. I find that really odd given the evidence when a player like Jamie Lyon shows what a huge difference it makes in attack having a centre who isn't the biggest or fastest, but has great hands and vision. We seem to be moving more and more to big, yard gaining centres without any kind of rugby brain, and its a shame.

Kettle and pot comes to mind. I didn't realise we were talking about ancient history?

Isn't this just rugby league in general. Seems like we're going to end up with a game full of second rowers

So you want to discount the history books and and record breakers of Rugby League because they disprove your point do you? Or are you suggesting that Superleague players with the modern light weight grippy ball cannot pass to the right as well as players in past years when they had the handicap of a heavy leather ball?

All the players I mentioned created their records on the right wing and I see no reason why the left side should produce more tries these days that the right side as you have made out.

Oh, so that’s why he refused to fly last week so he could be home for his sons birthday?

2016 Denny Solomna, 2017 Greg Eden. Both scored over 40 tries for Cas on the left wing.

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg

If that's true then he should pack his bags now. We shouldn't be interested in any players who are not 100% committed to the team.

Its not true. The same thing was said of Paul Aiton when he was rumoured to be leaving the club.

A similar excuse has been giving for Ormondroyd not being in team. He chose birth of his 1st child over playing for team so his face no longer fits.

Maybe just maybe didnt fly to Catalans due to his injury issues and sitting on a plane for 3 to 4 hours wasnt in his best interests and he didnt play last night as he hasnt fully recovered?

What's going on with Joel Moon. we lose Watkins & Keinhorst to injuries but no mention of Moons return.
He's not mentioned about players missing. Has he upset BM and he's holding a grudge or is there some other sinister reason
At the moment we desperately need him as Sutcliffe and Handley in the centres is a worrying prospect
