Believe there is too much criticism of Blaymire because his alleged poor kick return, primarily I want a full back to be able to tackle, be good under the high kick, have good positional play and by brave on the sweep - which he I believe he is accomplished at.

Very few clubs have the Australian style Full back/Stand-off - and they pay good money for one & their success is as much to do with the quality of the team around them - we were not exactly creating too much pf a broken line to return to last year. Probably has alot to do with how we (in the UK) train our youngsters.

If I remember the last two attempts we had at that were Rooney and Demteriou in the position who were little short of a disaster and quicly replaced with a "traditional" full back.

If I remember the fans favourite of the last decade at full back were Hallpenny and Martin Holland - both of whom appeared to be playing in slow motion.

Quote: Fordy "Anybody else think that Matty knows running the ball back at pasce will do him no good as when he does get tackled we would have nobody there at the paly the ball. One of the reasons he takes it steady returning the ball is to give the rest of the team time to get back for the next play. Let's face it none of them exactly rush back to help him do they?'"


That's not an unreasonable observation; I've criticised Blaymire myself in the past due to him appearing to amble back with the ball and then tackle himself when he hits the line, but it is very difficult to judge a FB who is playing behind a beaten/inept team. Perhaps he suffers in the way that Millard does, who has looked pedestrian for a lot of the time, due to being used in totally the wrong way?

I wouldn't extend the same latitude to Gleeson, but knowing our luck, he'll pull up trees at Salford next year and prove everyone wrong.

Quote: Miro "Gary Spencer had great pace, trouble is he slipped, tripped and fell after 3 yards.'"



I remember him going the full length on the pitch away at Castleford in 86 it was a great try we got battered that day all season for that matter just 4 wins and a draw

Quote: trinfan71 "Some people just don't have a clue what they are talking about. Blaymire is one of the safest fullbacks in the league. Just because he doesn't score every time he fields a high kick or is (as some people say) very pedestrian in his returning of the ball. Look at Brent Webb probably by far the best attacking fullback in super league, but many Leeds fans will tell you they cringe when he is under the high ball in a crowd or is facing a one on one.

I for one prefer to have a fullback who is going to field the high ball and keep a hold of the damn thing. Whether he charges back at 100 mph or strolls back to the line is not the be all and end all. The most important thing is he retains possession more often than not and his positional play is good, he is safe under the high ball. Granted he may miss some one on one tackles, but name me a full back in the league that doesn't, especially one that has to stop as many attacks as one playing behind our defensive line.

Some of our more steady recent fullbacks were not blessed with pace, Martyn Holland, Gary Spencer, Kevin Harcombe and even Collum Halpenny, but they all did a job. In my opinion if he does go it will be Wakefield's loss and Crusaders' gain.'"


God you are a strange one aren't you? You seem to think that the "bring a mate" campaign currently at the tail of every communication from the RFL guy seconded to the club is the work of a crack team of media geniuses locked away for a strategic planning weekend.
What you fail to understand is that there are now les than 200 season ticket holders/members and another 300 or so hard core fans left....and they have all brought mates, brothers, parents, kids, kids mates, kids mates parents to games. In 2012 these fans were to be rewarded for "bringing mates" as part of their ST allowances......less than 5% did.

So no, it's not No fans No Broncos. Your lord and master has been given some cash with which to market the game to the locals......not just to try and flog RL to 300,000 kids the local council paid him to let them come and see his facility.

No Marketing = No fans = No Broncos.........the Marketing bit is down to you and your precious owner. Remind me again how brilliant he has been at that so far?


BTW, I said free "away" kids....they bring full price paying adults with them and it is the same across ALL superleague clubs! If you're going to attempt spin, at least put some effort into it c020.gif

Wow. That is one hell of a grudge to hold for 12 years before replying.

Posted rambling nonsense on a couple other threads as well, I suspect the account may have been compromised and it's a bot.
