clubb and pettybourne are both being missed.

Oopsa daisy!

His comment stands, he's lazy and pretty garbage. He's no amor that's for sure

I watched him play for the first time v the Aussies at Wrexham in the World Cup before he joined us. He had a good game against them so he can do it IMO.

When we sign a "project" i.e. someone who until we sign them is seen as 2nd rate, our coaching and fitness regime is supposed to be so good we will turn them into good players. Eddie P is not a "project" as he is better than that IMO so if he is heading off in the Lauaki direction I'd like to know why given the resources the club has.

How about maybe he is just injured?

How about maybe we just signed another injury prone dud..

Comes on..gives the big licks, then goes of never to be seen for three months..?

Well if we have it will be time to question the recruitment. Lauaki was awful and if Eddie goes the same way that just won't be very good at all but there is time to see which way it will be. I hope our new recruit from Wakefield isn't another!

I thought lauaki was an early April fools, he just turned out to be a permanent one, Eddie hasn't even turned up yet..Jordan James wasn't good enough first time around..recruitment is worse than poor..scraps from the table.

I raise your JJ with my Andy Powell. Another masterstroke of scouting and recruitment.

All three seem as bad and for us fans as sad and crap as each other

I'm sure DaveO is in his element whenever we lose a game so he can go back to criticising how the club is run

Thank god the season scapegoat has been settled on, took a while this year...

You also cant forget the likes of the backs too with Karl Pryce, Tim Smith, Gelling, Clubb, Sarginson, Phelps etc. There is a common denominator with all of these signings and that is that they are cheap and dressed up as a long term project. However how many have actually established themselves in the first team? How many have been as good as the players they replaced?

I think some of the comments on here are way off the mark regards to Eddy P. Maybe they are a reaction to last nights defeat?

Give the guy a chance. I personally think he will be a good player once fit.

I thought he had a good game last night.

Nothing spectacular apart from smashing Anderson near the end.

Reviewing the stats of our props last night shows :

Clubb tackles 25, busts 3, carries 8, metres 61, average metres 7.63
Taylor tackles 16, busts 3, carries 9, metres 83, average metres 9.22
Crosby tackles 19, busts 0, carries 13, metres 70, average metres 5.38
Eddie tackles 12, busts 3, carries 14, metres 83, average metres 5.93

I reckon these stats will improve for Big Eddie as he improves his match fitness given the few games he has played this season.

So overall I think he will come good at the back end of the season.

I think some fans who have knocked him for not playing need to give him some time.
