You've got to remember as well Frank that for most of last season he was playing on one leg and had to have injections before most games. He is free injury at he moment which is showing most of moaners how he can play.

As I`ve said before.......this lad is a prop IMO and not a L/F - not got the speed play 13. Dave as had his doubters but he was outstanding today (as was everyone else).

Well done.

Never doubted Dave, good, solid game today. Well done Armi lad!

Dave put a lot of effort into his game today and was very good i think as the season progresses
he will become stronger and have many more games like today ..WELL DONE DAVE !!!
One little thing tho when he runs the ball in he seems to step one way or the other losing
momentum im sure if Dave drives the ball straight in he would create more of a problem for the defence with his size ect

I think this is the way they are trained these days - the concept is to change direction at the last moment and hit the defender at a different angle than expected therefore weakening the force of the challenge and increasing the likelihood of breaking through or keeping free for the offload.

But then again, I'm no coach.........

Quite correct !

i agree with this. i sometimes wonder if i've watched the same game when i listen to people.

Its called FOOTWORK and is a generally recognised way to 'hit the line'
somebody tell DS this is 2010 not 1960

You mean Darren Shaw Fred?

nowt wrong with Shawy one of the nicest guys walking (or limping - sorry Darren

)

im doesnt want footwork off the props he just wants them to run staight at the opp line

well he got it off Army yesterday
