Thought Hanley was far better against Wakefield - unless Lam wants to give Bevan a run on the wing I'd keep him in.

Just noticed, thread title is misspelt!! Should read "Whingers"...

Dropping it in general. He isn't dropping it over the line or when playing the ball cos he's on the wing.

Use the same line up as we did against Wakey but swap Hanley for French, The end

Hanley had comfortably his best game on Friday. Poor effort trying to get the try but over 100 metres with the ball, solid taking the high ball and he looked a lot more comfortable. He was very lucky to get away with the kick in to our in goal but he’d earned that I felt.

How many did he drop? Was it more than every other player?

Eh? What has that got to do with anything?

Someone said he is playing out of position (he is) but his mistakes are nothing to do with that. Moving from FB to Wing doesn't make you drop the ball. How many times he dropped it is irrelevant.

Yes, he is currently the Super League's top error maker with 7, which doesn't include the 3 he made v Saints on debut last year.

He's playing on the wing though. You instantly forget everything when you play out of position.

Reminds me of the Escare defenders saying he was under the high ball because he wasn't a winger.

I like Hanley as a player BTW I just don't think he's ready yet.

FWIW I agree with you. But we haven't many options at the moment.

'Solid, unlucky not to get man of the match' on the Hanley scale is roughly equivalent to 'I'll pack his bags myself' on the Gelling/Sarginson scale. I'd pick him v York because I'd rather him get experience against a Championship team, but it's frustrating that people outright deny the errors are happening when they would slaughter other players for it.
