Don't get me wrong over GOB, his game is developing steadily and worthy to continue at hb, Myler however isn't and hasn't.
Had we have had a footballer in with GOB we would still had of beaten St Gl, perhaps not quite as convincing.

Indeed, the current England stand-off was of true international standard.

Wheeler is a brand-new element, so we can hardly be surprised if TS doesn't pitch him right in at 6. As many others have pointed out, Bridge is clearly not a natural no 6 and has a VERY mixed record when playing there for Wire. Ratchford may well prosper alongside Wheeler [iIF[/i it turns out that the latter can be a creative 6, as Ratchford, too, is not a creator of gaps and spotter of line-breaks in the Briers mold, rather a dangerous broken-field runner who needs someone to set up such chances for him.

So, on Friday Ratch wasn't fit, Bridge no surefire miracle worker and Wheeler still working his way in for a place in the 17. What coach would not have played O'Brien and Myler together? Let's not forget, either, that Myler put O'Brien into the gap from which he scored.

Doesn't matter mate, it doesnt fit his agenda

I cannot deny that point As13
He probably had little choice and with current form of 2 wins with the hb's or Myler and GOB, TS doesn't have the reason to change and had to go along with it.
Now he has all the reason he needs to drop Myler.

Last season TS biggest mistake was to reinstate Myler imo, but I guess he had to give him the chance to prove his worth, and that's fare. But Myler let down again.

He has to be on last chance saloon this season. The appointment of Wheeler was to put pressure upon him to buck up.

TS cannot ignore this much longer out of sympathy, he's not the real deal and he never has been.
Bought in snap haste when the real money guy we ought to had splashed out on was Ratchford.

Hey we all think it, I'll just say it. No gripes on the kid but I cannot see his future here. Sometimes you need to put it into perspective, it's a job not a privilege, and he isn't doing it well for his pay grade.

I thought our kicking game was ok on Friday and good the week before at Hull.

What did Rubber Duck think about the quality of our kicking game at Hull?

I listen as good as I see.
What is your take?

I think a major problem with Bridge at half back is the amount of injuries he picks up & more or less every season he has a long lay off at some point, I am a great fan of Bridge's though,& i think his best position is centre.
As for Ratch ,i think he too is a great player & for many he is our favoured full back, but at stand off his reluctance to pass the ball would be a draw back as it was with Willie Aspinall many years ago.
Wheeler may be a good option but is overall fitness is still in question.

What alarmed me on Friday was that St G had two meaningful attacks in the first half & scored both times ,cutting through our defence easily. On the other hand, at times , we look as if we could spend 80 minutes camped on an opponents try line & still not score but we are much more dangerous from broken play further out from the try line. A player we will miss when he retires will be Mickey Higham....he seems to have the greatest nouse close to the line.
I think may be O'Brien 's missed penalty to touch could have played a big part in the result because we could have had six tackles from half way providing nobody dropped the ball.

I cannot comment Paul as I shamelessly didn't go.
I had work commitments.
There was precious next to nothing the SL show too.

Too right 9A
GOB simply doesn't put enough height into his kicks.
Not enough height to find touch, not enough height to give the fb something to think about with a bomb.
These are simply fundamental errors. GOB can fix them, he needs to start doing big weights on them legs. His running game and handling are very good and improving.
Myler however is not.

Did GOB not put enough height in his 40/20 at Hull?

Did GOB not put enough height into his 40m winning drop goal at Hull?

Why are you asking me those questions?
