Quote: rubber duckie "Fair DSM.
I said earlier that he slipped in well at centre like whittle woods davis blake have before him.
It was imo because he was next to Briers be it at 6 or at 3.
They worked so well together. Briers would look for Bridge before he would would go left.'"


I think he slipped in well at centre because he is a centre... icon_lol.gif

By your strange logic, Mark Roberts should have been a top class stand off because he worked really well with Andy Gregory.... icon_cool.gif

To be fair I can see RDs logic, I think Bridge is still when one our more dangerous players when he's in the mood but those occasions are few and far between these days and most of the time hs scares the bejeezus out of me. However, if we're judging him on an abject kicking game and suspect decision making, and apply that logic to everyone else who has lined up at 6/7 this year they'd all be sat in the South Stand and Asotasi would be lining up in the halves.

Personally I'm still hoping GOB will come good but I seem to be in a fan club of one these days.

The issue with Bridge in the halves is it has been tried a lot and he never convinced there. I don't know where rubber duckie has got this idea that he was brilliant there. There certainly weren't many arguments on here when he got moved in to the centres.

He played over 60 games in the halves for us mostly alongside Briers. Pretty much the whole of the 2006 season and half the 2007 season he was there, as well as a few games in 2005. Obviously everyone remembers the game when he came of age at Odsal and tore them up in the second half but he did not repeat that very often, he had a handful of good games and a lot of the time he was ordinary there.

The same criticisms were made about Bridge as are made about Myler - he didn't look like he could control a game. His kicking game was nothing special, he was a good runner with the ball in his hands and could break the line but that was it. His strengths got better used when he moved to centre and it was at centre he became for a couple of seasons one of the best players in SL, at a time that coincided with us being at our peak as a team.

There was also a brief experiment of Bridge at fullback too, I think it was Cullen's last season. It was the plan to play him there, he was there in pre-season and looked good there, then he played one game and got injured for the season if I remember.

I have a lot of time for Bridge for the same reason I have a lot of time for Briers - there were loads of people writing him off saying he wasted his talent, was a problem off the field or whatever, and then he worked hard to become a top player over time and proved his doubters wrong. But I think you have to use him in the outside backs, I don't think he's a player that can run a game like Briers could. I think he might be past his peak though now.

What is interesting here is to compare and contrast Myler & Ratchford with the halves at the two clubs who have been by far and away the best teams in the comp this year: Leeds & Saints.

Saints first choice halves, though they do tend to rotate, are Walsh & Hohaia.
Leeds' are McGuire & Sinfield.

What these have in common is a superb kicking game (Walsh & Sinfield particularly), and both are playing behind a very dominant set of forwards. Additionally they gain additional impetus from Lomax at FB for Saints, and Burrow as a utility at Leeds. Hohaia was panned by Saints fans all last year but was still considered better than Lomax, and people have been questioning Sinfield's credentials as a stand-off for years (me included) so it's hardly as if they the individuals concerned are light years ahead of everyone else.

What I do know is that on paper Ratchford & Myler are more than a match for any of those. What I also know is that on-grass they are currently a country mile off their counterparts.

Tony Smith believes they are getting better. I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought Myler played well last week.

Wilkin and McGuire are dangerous kickers too, so Saints and Leeds have good second option kickers as well.

Wilkin? I've never seen a SL player touch him with regards to a player being able to put a high bomb up only for it to hit the kicking player on his head on the way down. Pure quality!!!!
