It is going to be an interesting season.

Especially when you look at the squad so far as it looks to me that we should have the players to actually have two XIII's. I'd imagine that Potter has a fair idea of who goes in the A team and who'll be in the B team. But as I don't think he's actually physically joined the club yet there's still plenty of time for all players to step up and claim a spot.

Looking forward to 2011

Nor does anyone on here. Bit like you questioning someone else's view of someone else. Forums are clever like that.

With plenty of players to spare, only in the halves do we struggle and I've had to put Kearney and Godwin there out of position in these example teams (and fingers crossed we've got more of them to come).

Actually he's not. He's overweight and lacks mobility. Elliot Whitehead, Wayne Godwin, Brett Kearney and Michael PLatt, these are your natural athletes.

They are indeed, it must be the way you question.

I wouldn't say he's overweight but he certainly lacks mobility. Stiff as a board springs to mind.

I'd say flexibility rather than mobility, cos he can shift when he wants to

I wish I was as overweight as Worrincey.

So here we are again, a player being over critisised due to his so called lack of ability! Then wothout a second thought a poster, trying to justify his witch hunt uses a player who was also demonised (probably by the same people) to bolster thier arguement for a termination of his contract, mad! If the majority on here had thier way Micheal Platt would have been publicly hung drawn and quatered in the middle of the pitch!

Short memories some folk!

The purpose of starting this thread was to invite intelligent comment as to how Mick Potter will game plan for 2011 given that almost all of the team has been signed/retained by him.
What might we deduce from his signings as to the style of rugby he will play.

Its a bit disconcerting to see the thread sidetracked into denigrating individual players

As far as I can see, he runs good lines in attack and has great pace and athleticism which could be very effective outside a good half back. On the other hand, he has missed a couple of poor one-on-one tackles which have led to tries, and any errors he makes are more likely to be exposed because he stands out on the pitch. If you compare his stats to Ben Westwood, you will see that Westwood played one game more than Worrincy and missed 7 more tackles, made 11 more errors and gave away one more penalty. Westwood did make more tackles and almost twice as many metres, but this can be attributed to having more playing time, and if a player is so demonised for having a poorer work rate than Ben Westwood then to be honest your whole squad should be in trouble. I don't know if the accusation of Worrincy being overweight is true or just part of his character assasination, but it never used to be the case that he was overweight, certainly not at Harlequins or in his first season at the Bulls, and if he was out of shape then you can hardly blame the player himself, he was training full time and will have been following the fitness regimes given to him by McNamara's staff.

More holes in that view than Nigellas gusset.

Comparing Ben Westwood and his "stats" to Worrincy?? Sweet sunny Jesus, world's on it's arris.
