Dawson is poor in defence. He's poor under the high ball and doesn't beat a man on kick returns.

Swifty Is a good defender (does make wrong calls in defence), he's safe under the high ball and a big threat with the ball in hand.

I think wane and Wigan would be delighted to see Dawson on the wing instead of swift.

I think people are generally harsh on Dawson.

I've not heard anyone call him mate. I've heard people say how much he's improved but at the end of the day he gives his all but doesn't offer anything.

We might only get one chance to finish it and if that falls to Dawson then I don't expect him to finish it.

What does Dawson offer in your opinion ?

his effort is always there, but he'll never be more than average. I dont count him as a young player either, hes older than T-Mak and not in his class

I think I would agree with St Pete, generally Dawson is OK when attackers are running at him and quite often he makes valuable metres clearing the line but he is a bit flat footed for taking high kicks and is not quite quick enough when a break is on.
Swift is more dynamic and unpredictable and a real attacking threat which we are in short supply of at the moment, whether Browny sees it that way as well I dont know, for me I would pick "on form" and that would be Swift.

I think Wigan will be rubbing their hands if we pick him over swift. It's one player they don't need to worry about.

We talk about swifty making wrong calls in defence but he's a good defender when his decision making is good. Matty Dawson is not so great in defence and Wigan will kick to him all night as he's no danger on kick returns.

With wello being at fullback and it's not very often Tommy beats a man then playing Dawson on wing makes our back 3 dead with the ball. They will pin is back all night if need be and we will me on back foot all night.

Our back three need to put is on front foot on kick returns and IMO that will be crucial in this game.

Swift for me.... long wide pitch with plenty of space. Give him the ball and tell him to stick his head down and take them on.

I think they should have named Beaumont in the 19 even if he's not going to play to give the lad a pat on the back for training hard all season?

Serious ?

Does he have to do the naked run if he was not picked?

Would anyone recognise him?
