good job then that murphy got back to make the tackle blaymire missed in the first half wasn't it ? i wasn't dissing blaymire, just commented that he may be getting back to full fitness but if you want to get to excellent full back play then murphy takes the ball in far stronger, is much quicker and faster to react. blaymire had a good season last year but murphy being only 21 looks a better bet for the future already..and i would prefer to see him in the starting line up at the moment!

mr vastman will probably not agree but as we all know he is always but always CORRECT !!!

What I hate is when players come back from injury or operations and people think they should play like wally lewis the weeks after and when they dont they slag them off big style..

I'll get slated again for this, but I don't think Matt Blaymire is good enough to play at the standard we are aiming for.

thank god for that or we'd sell him!

not in a good place with WTRLFC today!

Blaymire is a natural full-back, he has the intuition to read the game and know exactly where the kick is going and the safe pair of hands to catch it.

If Matty had the pace that Murphy has then he would be easily be pushing for the England full-back shirt, unfortunately he hasn't and therefore doesn't offer that added dimension of attacking flair. But what he does offer is the reassurance that we have an excellent and dependable last line of defence.

Except when Hull broke though the other night and Blaymire wasn't fast enough to get across. Murphy came from behind him to make the tackle. Murphy has to be the first choice full back.

Really? I know you should always aim high but what standards are you aiming for?

Improvement.

We have improved each year that Blaymire has been here so improvement does not seem to be a problem.

He's our weak link. Every kick he returns is a wasted tackle. He isn't good enough.

I disagree 100%, weak link don't make me laugh, i've seen some pour excuses for a full back in sl and he isn't one of them. Solid if unspectacular. He'll do for me and id be happy seeing him in the eng squad.

Anyone want mathers? pratt? no didnt think so.

T'other side of the coin is he probably takes more bombs/kicks than any other player in SL safely, and he looked good enough to beat is opposite numer when he scored friday.

For me he lacks pace, but so does PW.
