| Quote the flying biscuit="the flying biscuit"How did Darius Boyd go on Saturday?
A perfect chance to compare Gidley and Boyd on one field at the same time.... I know which one was better.
imagine Gidley taking Browns dummy... or standing there as last man pretty ineffective When Russell Scored....
.
where exactly does super fullback Boyd play in every Origin and test game he's selected in ....oh on the Wing you say. Some Fullback......!!!'"
Boyd was the starting fullback for Australia and Queensland last season... and I never said he was super, I said he was brought in as Newcastle fullback in 2012 because Gidley wasn't good enough in that position, therefore supporting my point about him not being an nrl standard fullback for a lot of years.
But yes he is comfortably better than Gidley in that position, I don't tend to go off one game sample sizes.

| Quote the flying biscuit="the flying biscuit"well done you understand how Atkins made the dream team.....
Atkins also had the luxury of playing Centre in every game he played Evans on the other hand was never so settled....
I doubt your even a wire fan ............'"
Atkins made the dream team for his attack not his defence... he scored 17 tries compared to Evans 6. I guess his lack of tries was because he played on the wing too much?
Evans just isn't very good, and his lack of ability was a big reason behind us getting beat by Wigan last year... but Tony Smith chooses him, so not his fault.

| It was a pleasure to watch Kevin Brown's passing game. First and foremost he is able to pass, his pass timing and choice of who to pass to was spot on. Conversely, Atkins, Evans and Russell are unable to achieve any of the above. Wire blew two clear try opportunities, Russell had a 2 on I with Savellio inside him and held on and Evans had a similar situation and blew it. How many times have we seen Atkins pass into the crowd. It just beggars belief that at Super League level our back line and centres in particular have such limitations.

| Atkins looks for that off load or some flick when a pass will do.
With king at centre we have a. It of creativity in the centre has a bit to learn but has shown promise, with Russell or penny outside him we have some speed in that side and power close to the line and in the air on the other side
Our back line is not the best but we have the halves to get the best out of them.
I personally do not get the Atkins bashing Lyons Connollys n newloves don't grow on trees he's been a good super league centre for a very long time and in majority of our big games when fit has performed well. Of our current squad he is by far the best centre we have. Him n tom lineham should have a good season with brown n. Patton hitting them cross field kicks to them

| I would have Gidley at 1 with Johnson as his understudy. Never ever have Russell at 1.
I would have Ratchford at right centre with King as his understudy.
I would have Russell and Penny fighting it out for a wing spot. Here is my back line:
1 Gidley
2 Penny
3 Ratchford
4 Atkins
5 Lineham
6 Brown
7 Patton
Some good experience, guile, power and pace there.

This.
Ratchford too creative to leave out of the team and looked good at centre in 2012.
