Was i the only one annoyed at Lee Sthilarie's post match comments? It was a pretty straight forward win for HKR and he doesn't think any player deserves criticism. It all seemed a bit like.. Oh well we knew that was going to happen.'"
I've read the comments on Sporting Life and I don't really see it like that. He came across as though he was saying that the young players who have come in (by which I assume he is talking about Crossley, Addy, Wardle Finnigan etc) should not have to carry the can
In fact, you could take his comments as meaning that it is actually the more experienced players who [ishould[/i be carrying the can...

That's exactly how I read it. Kind of a "don't blame the young lads for any mistakes they made, the more experienced players should be doing far more than they are". I thought he was spot on to be honest, with the exception of one or two of the senior players, who clearly are putting in loads of effort.

| Quote dixie="dixie"Given how poor our defence is, i don't think it really matters if someone comes in and makes mistakes. Is he smaller than Burrow when he first burst onto the scene? They must be plenty of players of similar stature playing in SL. If you a small it's all about techinque.

Completely agree. Whilst maybe he shouldn't play the full 80 he could benefit from coming in for spells for the experience and he'll hopefully be a better player for it next season.

| Yep I read it like that from St H. He's right. Some senior players are not pulling their weight and some havent done for 2 seasons now. Drop em.

Fair enough. I've found his post match comments rather odd in past tbh. He is only a stand in mind so it probably don't really matter what he says. He's just got to prove he's a good number 2 to Potter.

| Quote Bulls4Champs2010="Bulls4Champs2010"I agree, but if you havent got any weight behind you then you're still going to be bumped off. It's inevitable that players are going to face one V one situations at some point so whilst its important to have the technique and commitment but also the pyhsicality to be able to make your tackle count.'"
I don't care how big they are, with the right technique they come down. What you can't do however is prevent the offload.

I recall Halley once tackling Paleaaesina one on one after Paleaaesina made a break. So it cannot be purely down to size as to why Halley regularly misses tackles in one on one situations. I've also seen Rob Burrow make many a tackle one on one on much bigger players.

| I don't think you can say that tackling ability is simply down to technique. It is a very big part of it but strength also plays a pretty big part in it.

You might not, but being big and strong and being able to stand up to opponents attack or defence is part of the game. If your not strong enough to do it, you cant stand up to them, simples. Why do you think there is so much emphasis on strength and conditioning?

Exactly, technique is very important, being strong is equally important.

| Haven't been on since the game, but a couple of things need to be said :
Why drop Sheriffe over Reardon?
Worrincy needs to be dropped.
If Finigan keeps going how he is then he'll become a regular, we don't really have any quality wingers.

Have you heard yourself ! 250 Bulls fans ??
The PA man always names the try scorer at the home games ,you wanna try sitting away from the speakers .
