am i the only person who thinks he is a useless fat aussie who is vastly overated and a liability?? People seem to think he is one of our stand out players but i just cant fathom why

Yes, you are.

Armistead works hard enough but looks to me like he's carrying a bit to much timber. Runs good angles though and has an impressive beard.

oh and one thing i forgot to mention is he looks like Uncle Albert from only fools and horses

Give this lad a medal.

Pair of tools/trolls replying to each other one thinks....

Agreed, pair of absolute idiots.

looks like i am the only one with sense and doesnt rate armitstead then

for what its worth, i think he has done well this season.

thing is, he won 'Championship 1 Player Of The Year' 2008.
Last year, did not rate him, mentioned it on here... got slated for it.
Been much better this season, no doubting his enthusiasm, his strength is 'offloading in the tackle'. I would always have Armistead in the 17, but not always the 13.

Nah I just think I`ll agree with my last post...........

Lets just shoot him

Yep, your on your own there mate. Last year he was never fully fit and threw a few too many 'silly' offloads. This year he has looked more than capable at Prop and is a real workhorse. Makes a lot of tackles and is willing to make the hard yards in attack. He seems to have learned when and when not too offload and is running some good angles too.

The likes of Army and Goulden are real grafters who do the kind of work that often goes unnoticed by fans but is massively appreciated by the players around them.

Plus the beard is awesome

Did you see the Barrow game Leyther ?
I would have him in my 17 for sure.
