I dont think you cant call Brown for bigging up his players, or for dropping them if they're form drops. Thats his job

Three games in and form has dropped? C'mon! That's stretching it even for you in one of your 'Im not going to agree with SaintsFan at any cost' moods!

Brown talks BS about players. He did it at Huddersfield and he's continuing the tradition here.

well we'll find out if he lets Wellens go straight back at full back. That would definitely not be picking players on form!

Eden looks like he could be fulfilling that potential. Shame Saints didn't have any ambition.

Defensively he is poor and boy did he look daft when Sneyd nicked the ball off him to score that try at Salford the other weekend!

Mind you, it probably goes without saying that anyone playing for HKR would be defensively poor pretty much by default.

He didn't half make up for that mistake with his contribution to virtually all the points Hull KR scored that night.

I know. But it was funny to watch! Thought Sneyd had a stormer that night.

Sneyd's performance in that match was a perfect example of what we're lacking (I don't know if he plays like that every week, mind).

Absolutely.

I remember saying to the person I was watching the match with that I couldn't think of anyone bar Wheeler who would think of nicking that ball like Sneyd did (and that's aside from everything else he did, just for that try never mind his other many contributions). I only know Wheeler would think of it because I have seen him do it!

Ah, the halcyon days when Wheeler had hamstrings, not 2 pieces of gristle flapping in the wind.

I rate Sneyd , something of the Tommy about him.

That's another person who you could see pinching the ball.
I seem to remember alan langer doing it a couple of times (once to Tommy?) and for some reason Ryan Sheridan seems to come to mind?

Gavin Clinch was the master at it.

Good little player, clinch. Didn't have as much luck with you as he did with Halifax though, from what I remember.
What year was it he was with you, around 99, after Tony Smith had moved on?

Paul Bishop was a decent thief of a ball.
