Unfortunately, the club is run by some people that don't have a clue....but you all know that anyway! There are some really good people that are involved in certain elements of the running of the club, but the 'decision makers' are clowns. It really is SIMPLE to sort out, you just have to want it enough....and that's where the problem lies, 'cos the people i'm referring to, don't care about you, or me, or anything other than turning up and taking a salary...end of!

I agree, the tackle count should go primarily to the 1st man in, but i'm afraid nowadays it doesn't it's counted as the 1st 3 men in.

Honestly i'm not having a go. So what do you think Adamson brings to the table as a superleague 2nd rower. If i was coaching i'd want more than a defensive stint at this level. Obviously PV must see something for picking him and because we're winning nobody takes notice, but i can see flaws in his game where he's let in 3-4 soft tries through lack of concentration or he fails to read a game. These are just a few off the top of my head.

1.Rangi Chase cross kick for richard owen to pounce onto for 4 points. Lazy Defence
2.Jon Wilkin hit the ball at pace to score. wrong footing Adamson.
3.Kaufusi burst. smashing over Adamson on tryline

Lyrad Red.

I watch him week in week out. Elaborate on unseen work?

Looking at the stats and comparing Adamson to several 2nd rows it tells a story. Basically he's in their just to tackle. Oh well if that what PV wants and it's working why change it.

Stats dont lie.
Yes he is in there to tackle and do a job which he does well.
4 yrs of stagnation under SMC have certainly damaged his game, and if you remember when he first came in the team (if you actually attended the games then)he was touted as the next big thing.
I hope under the guidance of PV he will rediscover the attacking game we know he has.
Until then get off his and the other players backs.

Anyone who REALLY knows rugby can see that Adamson has loads of ability just by watching him in the warm up before the game.

Do not write this lad off!!!!

I think with good coaching he can be a steady player, but when confidence is low he can be a massive weak link a times.
