Where Watson and Joseph at Swinton together?

If you think of our previous since the Doc took over for buying turkeys and then look at all the players Sheens/Watson have brought in for this season, they appear to have done much better than those who have gone before, Joseph seems to be the only player who doesn't who is not up to the required standard.

Krasniqi for me can consider himself very unlucky, when we brought him in last season he did a good job, fits in with the modern role of 80 minute hard running #13 more in the prop mode.

I understand Joseph as a squad player but he shouldn't be anywhere near a first choice spot. Quite baffling when there is hungrier young players chomping at the bit.

Speaking of yesterday's game, I thought BMM was severely underused by you guys. He was continually the dummy runner when going across the field and think I saw him taking a barnstorming hit up once, and a couple of first receiver drives. Seen granted only highlights of your games but against Wigan/fc in particular looked a handful. Strange one really looks a Class player but no impact yesterday.

Fwiw I think your recruitment this year is very good, type of players you can build a team around

As an outsider, Phil Joseph is one of those players that is in the trap of being too good for championship, but just not good enough for SL, he tore it up for Swinton and was apparently a stand out way back. Obviously convincing Widnes to give him a go


I think coaches seem to like his size and bulk and expect they can get some good stuff out of him, sadly i don't think he's got it in him to be a top class player.


He'll probably end up at Leigh at some point.
