Quote: Gerry Mander "One swallow does not make a summer.
Credit to Tyrer , he could have sunk without trace having gone
to Crusaders reserves effectively and being injured last season.
He seems to have lost weight (puppy fat) but not strength
and is doing well.
Good luck to him , but he is not a Saints winger.
Hopefully the departure of Meli and Gardner will
allow a Quirk,Sullivan or Albert plus a pacey rookie
to be recruited.'"
Sadly the days of lightening quick wingers are as good as over imo due to the tactics employed today.
Would love to see a winger who could go the length of the field; however unless they are 6ft 3, can take high bombs with ease, can share the workload burden in the middle of the field and defend manfully, then they are going to struggle to make it.
Kevin Penny is a case in point. 20 years ago he would be a star of the game. In todays environment he is a muppet.
Time to wake up and smell the coffee as they say.
