Well that surprises me. Why would you think that ?

Which bit Frank?

Sorry I should have been clearer. It is the Stanton has no pace bit.

Because most oppostion wingers either run over him or round him!

The lad as got pace look at the try he got at toulouse away and tell me that he as no pace the team do not use him in right way imo he comes inside looking for the ball he is always running at 2 forwards no overlaps/no kicks to chase look at donlon he only comes in the line when the ball is going down the right hand side.

You could put aslead and madan in the same club as stanton ste if you look over the season alstead and madan have been found out a few times with the high-ball and winger going round them

I agree mate, none of our wingers have any genuine pace, what I am saying is Stanton is no quicker than Dave or Steve

Sorry mate imo steive wonder would see that stanton as more pace than dave and stey i would give him a run on the right wing.

We will agree to disagree, unless of course we can get a sponsored sprint at the end of the season to solve this!!!

A few trys from all 3 would do me.

I THINK OUR GAME PLAN LET US DOWN SATURDAY 1 MAN RUGBY DOWN THE MIDDLE TIME AFTER TIME ONLY INTHE LAST 12 MINS DID WE PLAY OPEN RUGBY THE REST IS HISTORY

The government has already made £2 billion worth of cuts to community programmes etc.

Recognising that there is less money coming onto the game, surely this is a case for the RFL dropping the minimum ground criteria, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if clubs such as Salford, Cas, Wakey and a number of Championship clubs approach the RFL regarding grounds, salary cap etc seeking reassurances that the RFL are taking action to safely govern the sport through what is a deepening economic crisis.

The thing is though they have had plenty of time to sort the grounds out so if the RFL do change the criteria due to cuts then it will just show what a shower of sh!!!!!!te the RFL are ,they should stick to what was originally put forward.

Do you know why like for like SL crowds to date are a massive 0.28% up on last season (thats about 400 people after 20 rounds).....................Crusaders RL (using Celtics crowds as comparison) are showing a 51% increase in crowds so far along with Wires increase of 18%.

In total 5, yes 5 SL clubs are showing an increase on last year and 9 and are showing declining crowds.

So in summary the RFL/SL can say that expansion has been a success, simples

stanton is quick , but doesnt seem to hit a gap, also his lack of size doesn't help! do we not have anyone in the reserves who has a bit of pace??
