You don't half talk some pap.

Tickle not only played exceptionally well in his time with us last season, he was regularly leader in total carries, metres gained and tackles made. He ate up big minutes giving other more "impact" forwards the opportunity to rest. It's true, Danny won't go eighty metres, burst through many tackles or throw many match winning offloads. What Danny will do is graft, he will constantly be an option around the ruck, and won't shirk the responsibility that goes with a prop-forward. He lays a platform for others around him to play on. His is a thankless role and one which people without a decent rugby education will fail to understand. Also, many Cas fans echoed this viewpoint and we're sorry to see him leave last year.

Every team needs its grafters.

We have some great RL ability in the forwards, Weston can pass, Stewart is as good as a halve, as is Patterson

Our players ( all of them ) will give us more chance of winning , but to do that they need to have the mindset of going out to win , from the 1 st second , they can all play the game , if they are allowed to do so

Paul Anderson was a battering ram at the Bulls , nothing more , when he signed for Saints he suddenly started playing RL , actually passing and offloading , they can all do it

That philosophy delivered by Paul Rowley was lapped up to great success in the 2015 middle 8's

We aren't playing in the middle 8s ( yet ) , and you have identified the problem in your post

That's 10 metres from the mark,I believe that realistically only adds another 1or2 metres on the old 5 metre rule not a full 10.Should be fun for the video ref come disallowed try time from a scrum.
