Quote: Harry Stottle "I think he has invented a new aspect to Rugby League Football in complete "Contact Avoidance" as has already been said he will not take the line on it seems he is willing to throw the ball anywhere before take a tackle, and it is quite comical to watch him in defence hiw he gets out of the way, Duffy knows this and instructs hin to get to the wing when we are not in possession, Ryan Brierley is also not very good in the defence department and it will not be that difficult for opposition coaches to take advantage of this, in my opinion we can only afford either Woods or Brierley on the feikd at the same time, I would select Brierley every time.'"
Some harsh comments there I think. I expected more, especially in attack where he doesn’t appear to offer many options, but there are inclines of promise there
Regarding defence, how many half backs are not 2nd man in on defence, if you want a poor defender Richardson is your man. Woods doesn’t seem to let much by or bounce off him, he’s quite well built albeit not to Hutchison levels
