Quote: rally2001 "I really don't think wilkin is up to the job. I don't rate him full stop. Fingers crossed he surprises us with a master class performance
He's definately capable though, he has proved that on numerous occasions a few seasons back, but nothing more recent...hopefully with smith there he will prove you wrong : icon_lol.gif

Quote: rally2001 "Use a bit of common sense please. Over the years I've been playing rugby, I have play every position apart from prop. Look at the likes of wheeler and lomax who have filled in all positions in the backs. To me that's a sign of a good player.'"


I am doing, it's you that isn't. The professional game is a highly specialised game, park rugby isn't. I take it that you also thought you were equally good in all positions? If so, why aren't you a pro?

Some positions can transfer skills, and whilst a stand off may play centre to a decent standard, that doesn't mean a centre can make it at stand off. Would Newlove or Iro make it in the halves? Not to any decent level.

Fair enough

Let me just point out I haven't always just played amateur rugby and played at a good level, mainly
In rugby union. I have been unfortunate not to have been in the right place at the right time. I'm not saying I was ever going to be a world beater but I could confidently if I was given the chance things might have been different.

Anyways let's hope Wilkin and Smith click tonight and get one foot into the finl

Quote: No1 Saint "There is a massive difference between playing in the halves and pretty much any other position. Your expected to make the calls and take the team around the park and at professional levels thats not easy. If Wilkin trained all week at 6 then reverted to the back row thats not an issue however if he's trained all week at back row then is expected to come in and play 6 thats totally different.
Sadly he isnt Scully who in his prime could change between 6 and 13 with ease (mainly because we played a little differently then too i.e we played with a proper 13 not a battering ram)'"

No mainly because he was just class!

Quote: Mr. Messy "Hopefully with Graham Cuningham Hargreaves Fa'asavalu Soliola Puletua and Clough up front they'll have a easy platform to play on... Matty Smith showed against us at The Willows he has an excellent kicking game... more so short kicking game (something we don't have much of) which ripped us apart, hopefully he can bring the type of creativity in...?
As for Wilkin... he's done it before... get some of those towering bombs up for Mathers to deal with'"


I guess I got an answer to that question?
