Quote: Bulls4Champs2010 "Im sorry but if we're to improve next season the whole backline needs going over.
Royston is ok but not outstanding. A quality FB is part a vital part of the machine. Neither Royston or Kearney are that.
Ainscough? Could go ok, outside a quality centre that knows how to get his winger away
Platt works hard and runs his blood to water, but isn't really that smart game breaking centre that all clubs need
Walker, 5 years past his best, better as a backrower rower but not good enough to push Elima or Langley out and I'd probably opt for Olbsion or Whitehead over him anyway.
Raynor - 5 years past his best, lost his pace, but works hard. Could be back up if pushed
Kearney - Poor stand off, mediocre full back, cant defend for toffee and not sure he even offers that much going forward
Herbert - Nothing to say other than worst SH i have ever seen
Briggs and Jeffries, I wanna see how they go for the rest of the year
Ah van - As others have said, if he couldnt kick would he get in?
Halley - as much use as a wet paper bag, poor winger, poor full back, where for him?
Crookes - Wont be long before he's on his way
Finnigan, shown some potential. Would like to see him a bit more.'"
The glass is definitely empty over in your court!!!
I don't understand how people can be talking about Herbert being a poor half back and can't create anything! In the "creativity" stats on the Superleague site he isn't far behind Rangi Chase who has played 2 more games and has been playing in the form team for majority of this season!
He has nobody in the side who knows how to be a dummy runner without giving a penalty away, half of them cant catch a ball cause they have cows tits for hands and the morale in the club is feeling worse than last year!! He has had zero lack of opportunity to form a decent partnership with any other half back and some people are expecting the kid to carry our team through the season! His biggest downfall is his kicking!
