Nice bit of interplay last week that led to the Dufty try & Lindop's disallowed effort was marginal. Could've have easily been a different result.

I hope he tears it up, I really do.

His contribution at Catalans was bordering on zero. He is way, way, way off being an effective, reliable forward. He is, and has been, our poorest performing forward by a long shot - not even marginal, for a while.

In terms of the last game I don't know how you can only make 3 carries in 30 mins of playing.

Even Philbin himself made 8. (Vaughan made 15 by comparison).

I remember us signing Parker.
His stats made Dudson look like Morley.
(Tbf on him, he was always the dummy runner).
The opposition eventually got wise and never put a guy on him.
One particular game he actually got a pass, to his surprise, and had a gap to score bigger than Madonna’s 2 front teeth!
Who knew? Could be a moment for Duds yet.

Dud-son is exactly that a Dud, we will be far better off including promising youngsters on the bench than Dud-son. Working with a couple of the young guns will help their progress immensely, whereas Dud-son's inclusion is hindering their progress.

Dudson dropped and Wood in.

Awesome, i think Wood is exactly the extra punch we need, glad to see Burgess doing what we hoped he would. Don't perform and don't play


Who's replacing Dudson though? As wood Surely comes in to replace Crowther?

Top marks to whoever put viagra competitor 'eroxon' on the hoardings tonight while we have a player called Max Wood

Max looks really hard…wasn’t sure if he had a niggle as he looked rather stiff to start, I was worried the coach might pull him off..
(courtesy of Carry On on the rugby pitch).

I hope he keeps his spot and gets loads of game time, he's clearly ready for this level, so lets amp up his experience

However, his Fijian half-brother Semi Wood has a reputation for being a bit flaccid in the tackle.

Wood yes, Bullock no.

Looks like their chance will come at Widnes on loan, certainly Bullocks will

is he not going to hull now?

then i'm confused about snaggletooth's post, its been a long week, so it maybe me

Sorry its me, I was told something and I confused the situation, which at my age isn't difficult

I haven't had chance to edit as I've been in meetings.

I thought Bullock looked really good and had a cracking game, fair play it was against London but he looked well up for it. If he puts that same effort in against Catalans we might see him back sooner than later.

I didn't see the game and obviously Sam Burgess might know a bit more about propping than me but I've never been that disappointed by Bullock when he's been available.

Granted we've had some lean years but he was doing OK for me comparatively.

Now it might be a masterstroke of man management, a combination of game time and motivation, but my inclination is I'd like to see him do well and come back as opposed to sayonara Joe

Yeah 100% i thought when he's played for us he's played well and added some good punch up front. I'd love to see him back in the squad.
Harrison and Vaughan starting, with Musgrove, Philbin, Bullock and Wood fighting for Bench spots looks healthy.
Been very impressed with Wood, especially since i didn't think we'd see him so soon.
Real shame about Luke Thomas as he looked really good against Widnes, so i hope he can kick on next year.
Also i mean't to say i think Harrison has been Superb for us this year so far, really upped his level for me

weird to hear the comms say max wood has lost 2 stone since joining us

I think Burgess has a plan for Bullock - I think he's trying to motivate him and if we get a fully motivated and firing Bullock then we're going to have another really good prop. I hope that's the case anyway.

i had no problems with bullock, was unsure when we signed him but he did ok, him and harrison were both reyt signings

I like Bullock. There is a decent prop in there somewhere.

Get Dudson out on loan until he makes more than 50m / game.

Sayonara Gil then
