| Quote: The Speculator "I reckon that if Lindop has a strong game, there's a fair chance he'll keep his place for the play-offs. There's lots to like about Tai, but his 'pass/don't pass' decision-making is shocking. Two big examples of that last week. He somehow got away with both of them then, but that won't always be the case, as Burgess will well know.'"
The execution of those plays was sub optimal, but you don't drop someone for two plays where both outcomes were tries.

Just to clarify, I wouldn't have dropped Tai for this week either, despite those two plays. My point was just that with Tai having been left out (for whatever reason), Lindop now has a good chance to make a claim for keeping his place. As I said, there's lots to like about Tai, and hopefully he can improve the parts of his game that still need work.

| I've been more impressed with Lindop in his few matches than I have with Wrench to be honest.
Tai is far from the finished article. He has improved this year - particularly his defensive reads, but decisions in attack need to be worked on.
He's first choice for me at RC but Lindop is not far behind.

| Have we even seen Lindop at right centre yet? I thought his games at centre were on the left (when King was injured) and, to state the obvious, it does make a difference whether you are passing left or right.
To be clear, Im not Roderick's dad. But we did spend a lot of the earky season bemoaning our RHS defence and, over the course of the year, Thewlis and Tai have formed a terrific defensive partnership - not just watertight, but aggeessive. Let's not chuck that away because Tai got greedy when we were 60-0 up.

| there's no way roddy's getting dropped now, if he's fit he's in
both him and king have done a decent job in replicating what wigan's centres did for them (and if you read next door's forum, plenty of people lamenting that their backs minus king haven't let them get a roll on the same this year) and whilst its not classy 80's centre play, there's less room for that in the modern game, shame that it is.

True. For me it wasn't the greedy try. It was that early pass to Thewlis obliterating the overlap that made me rub my eyes in disbelief. But I like Tai and think he is nailed on the the playoff games.
