IN my honest oppinion jd is long in the tooth and should have gone last year hes been carried by the club now

Players shouldn't get picked for that reason though, not if they are unfit/out-of-form/whatever is up with him.

and equally players shouldn't be dropped when they have outstanding service and then have one bad game.

Too true PT.

Loyalty and respect have to work both ways even if some like to quote it "when it suits"

Not slagging JD cos I like him a lot, but his form has been tepid all season (i know its only 5 games old ) But I just think he needs a rest, and his form will return....

Trouble is for JK, he has nobody to replace him with unless he fetch's young Trout into the second row and plays Tesco/Hendo/Latu at loose? People should remember also that for a reasonable chunk of Saturday's game JD was being played as 'a running 6' after BJ went off, which is not his natural position by any stretch......and possibly affected his defensive positioning at times
