Don't you mean a player work so hard ?

Highlighted the important bit for you

Whilst brown has his knockers on here (myself included at times) I've never heard anyone have a negative word about him at the club...

A lot of people on here were calling for this "ultimate pro's" just over a week ago, to go after the Warrington debacle.

He may have passion for the game but does not show it and he takes losses lightly e.g. he thought the Good Friday game was "just another 2 points".

I just can't take to the guy; he seems to have no fire and when we lose badly, he just seems to shrug his shoulders. I hope he does well for the rest of the season as there is no plan B.

As or Wheeler he will not get into the half back role the whilst HiHo and Walsh are playing well together and this was sorely needed.
He might make centre every now and then which is obviously not his best position, subject to his own appalling/unlucky injury record

Perhaps the Ape might see the potential him in and get him under a better fitness regime.

Thought he did ok against Salford. Picked up a dead leg though

Quite releaved that it was just that, when he pulled up it looked like an achillies tear.

Good grief, is he ever 'Not Injured'

With us having a week off we could be heading into unchartered territory with the chances of Wheels making it 3 on the bounce.

Our conditioning team don,t have a good track record of getting players up and running after injury though. Percival had a dead leg which lasted around 3 to 4 weeks so if we add the "Wheeler Factor" it could be 6 weeks.
Hope he's not standing up all day in the burger van.

You're assuming there that their ongoing absence was due to injury rather than selection. Tinkerman could simply be hiding his tinkering ways behind injury.

Why the hell would he do that ?

He openly said he dropped lance for the Leeds away game and we've had Turner, Dawson and jones injured so why would he not pick Percy?

Probably same reason why many of our players have played for them. To give them a run out and gain some match fitness.

How many of our players have played for Rochdale this season?

Did Amor play for them before he came back from his injury?
Did Walsh play for them before he came back from his injury?
Surely they would have needed to gain match fitness too?

He's a young lad and should be looked after. He came back and played at Leeds so obviously rates him, he's just give him a new deal at the club so other than him not being fit or discipline reasons I can't see why he'd say he's injured if not.

Just like Wigan are sending England international and super leagues leading try scorer last season out to Workington.

I didn't say he was [inever[/i injured (although that of course is a possibility as I don't remember him leaving the field injured). I simply suggested that the reason behind him remaining out of the team was not necessarily injury, and indeed the fact that he and Jones (who has otherwise been a shoo-in for a spot) both played at Rochdale last week more than suggests his continued absence was not injury related. Jones wouldn't need a refresher at Rochdale as he had only missed one game and he missed that because RFL rules require him to miss a week following signs of concussion.

Everyone knows that Brown tinkers with the team. The club will also know that this frustrates the fans, because I know for a fact that the club does keep its ear to the ground in this regard. By simply not commenting on what may have originally been a genuine injury, it is easy for Brown to tinker as he always wants to and the fans to be none the wiser.

That's me speculating though, just as you are.

As for Percival being a 'young lad', he is older than Thompson, who has played a few games in succession now.
