Thought i'd inject a positive post in to the mix

Which player/s are impressing you so far?

At this point Atkins is really impressing me, his game has improved 10 fold since he came, he's creating space for his winger far more often than he did and his decision making i.e. knowing when to run or offload, is probably better than Bridge's.

Baffles me even more that Banana doesn't pick him for England?

I haven't seen enough of Wire this season. I would echo Yed's sentiments regarding the thoroughbred Atkins.

The team ahs gone on ups and downs (not to bring on a negative) but I like Ratchford before the injury.

Best player for us this season has been Solomona (JOKING!) it has been Riley or Atkins

Based on his comments to the BBC, Chris Riley would agree with you on Atkins and Bridge

Chris Hill - handsdown he has been our most consistent performer.

3 stand out performers this season so far are Chris Hill and can only get better, the other 2 are Chris Riley and Ryan Atkins. Chris Hill though is the stands out player.

Mick Higham

Tyrone McCarthy

Ratchford (Before Injury)

The first two really because they have taken their chances when given them and not looked out of place. It is key that you have a squad that want to perform, not just relying on a first string 17.

Interesting this thread. It just shows how hopes and expectations have risen since 2009. We're third in the league and there have been so many negative threads on the Board recently. Micky Higham has really impressed me this year. He seems to have made a very positive change to his game since Monas got injured. I'm also very surprised that no-one has mentioned Brad Dwyer, a real star in the making. Ryan Atkins has been on fire and Chris Riley gets better each week.

Tyrone McCarthy

I think it's his lack of commitment to the england cause, i think McBanana is right to put the team first.

Mike Cooper for me. Played in every game and hasn't had a bad one.

the youngsters are all puttig their hands up and showing some great signs and the list of being most impressed by i think the oldest is atkins.

hill
ratch before injury
cooper
tyke
riley
dwyer

For me.......
Hilly
Ryan
Bridgey

Brad Dywer has dome well in the few games he has played. Before his injury Ratch was coming along nicely.

Hill
Atkins
Riley

Dywer has come into the team well. The majority have been hit and miss.

Atkins, Hill, Dwyer & O'Brien for me.

With O'brien, when Myler is back, I'd go for O'brien if he continues in his current form, think he offers more creativity than Richie from what I've seen. But nice selection headache to have for Tony for the full team, especially when you throw Solomona and Ratchford back into the mix.

Atkins because of strong running and can't remember many errors.
Hill because he has come straight in and looked as though he has been here for years.
Riley because he has been willing to come in field and work.
O'brien because of his kicking, game reading, and maturity.
Dwyer for his energy and that try in the Catalan game where he showed some of the senior players what they ought to be doing to Les Cats.
