| None of his errors were as funny as his reverse '20-40' against Cas this year, when he somehow managed to put an attacking cross-field kick in Cas' 20 back into his own 40m. Best thing I've ever seen on an RL pitch.
On a serious note........nope, sorry. There isn't one!

| He's a typical example of a player who has top natural athleticism, but is utterly bereft of any skill.
The abhorrent Ben Cockayne would've been a much better option,

| Quote: Leaguefan "That lad showed more heart and guts than most RL players do. What it seems prove is that the British player and coaching development system are they shambles they come across as.
No disrespect to the hard working volunteers who go way beyond the call, because of their passion for the sport.
It seems to me that even the basic skills are lacking in so many players. This should not have to be taught to "professional" players yet watching so many games it is very apparent. Those who have mastered these skills are seen as something extraordinary which shouldn't be the case . It should be the norm.
The solution? Better coaching skills and training. Obstacles, too much money WASTED on 2nd rate, past it, never will be pension seeking , holidaying crocks. Some other sport seems to have the right idea. RL is still it's insular parochial my club, my club, my club only mentality. The end result is there for everyone to see.'"
He is lacking the skills that junior players should have mastered by the age of 12 or 13 - but many don't, because of the lack of decent coaching at many amateur clubs; couple that with the ultra-competitive league structure, which encourages the enthusiastic Dads coaching juniors to win every game, and you end up with a team of freakishly big lads banging into each other, with very little skill on display and not much room for the smaller, more athletic lads to get any game time or skills development.
I'd advocate top-slicing some central funding to sort out the grassroots game - get decent coaching and skills development into every amateur club that can achieve certain benchmarks, and revamp the jr league structures to disincentivise the current win at all costs mentality; and compel professional clubs to properly engage with their local amateur clubs, rather than ignoring them until they have a decent crop of U15's.

| London Broncos may buy Dixon back, as a replacement for the banned gambler Richard Mathers.
No Super League club would want Dixon at this point.

Sadder and more humiliating than urinating into your own mouth like a chimp? You need to re - evaluate your values Son!
Dixon had a bad day at the office but at least he worked the full day (Sneyd?) and took a good catch in the 68th minute with a host of Leeds players bearing down on him. Took some guts.

| You have to feel sorry for Dixon for the majority of his mistakes. Pulling out of a challenge for the all (leading to a try) is unforgivale

The whole recruitment policy of Rovers since they returned to Super League needs to be revisited.
They need to start looking to the future instead of these instant fixes that they go for.
They should remember the saying. "Short term pain long term gain"

They'll be riding off the back of the outstanding rated Hull FC academy in the future. Quite how Hudgell managed to negotiate that one and why the naive Pearson agreeing to it, I don't know.

True though.
9 foreign players yesterday and just two academy products. Pathetic, as was their performance.

Sentiment changed for clarity. No SL club, or some championship clubs are exempt from the policies undertaken. The amount of money wasted, and still being waste on crocks and pension seekers does the game in this country no favours. The evidence is all around, why can't people see it?

| I don't watch him every week so others are better placed to critique his week in week out performance. He had a mare yesterday to the point where even though I'm a Rhino at the back end of the game I was willing him not to drop the ball. But he showed guts and commitment to the end. He kept putting his hand up and tried to break our line long after the game was gone. He is going to need a lot of support (and coaching) if he is going to rebuild his confidence. I remember Leroy Rivett, Lance Todd 1999, imploding after a similar performance in 2000. I hope KR fans and club stick by Dixon and give him a chance to regroup and move on
