Quote: Trojan Horse "Bit unfair on Minns. He was always going to be back up and I think he scored a good try but just landed funny injuring himself. Not seen enough to really judge him.
If your referring to Whitbread. I think he’s been good. Tends to make regular consistent metre gains and puts himself about in defence. Overall think he’s been a good pick up. He’s not a flash player and for me looks like he’s bulked up for the prop role.'"
Not sure why fans have to be extreme. Nobody saw Hall becoming a first choice so quick, in which case Mins was a shrewd signing. Army Dave doesn't seem to have panned out but again nobody saw Murphy moving on so quick.
Alegend, Coaches have many gifts but hindsight is not one. If WP could go back he'd probably not bother with either but at the time it was a shrewd move. Ditto Hood and Lineham for CC. Gaskell was only dodgy due to his injury issues.
For me, the issue is not who we signed and who we didn't but the fact that some of them along with some existing players are not playing to their full potential. That potential; won't win us SL but it should have us higher up the table than we are. So instead of blaming everyone else, I prefer to blame the real culprits. In my experience it's nearly always the players who are at fault but people chose to excuse them for reasons not obvious to me.
