Quote: TrinityIHC "I get what you're saying but I get the impression that Walton has put us under a lot of pressure with conceding pointless penalties, both for high shots and holding down mainly.

We didn't have that much ball vs Hull and got pumped in the end, last night we did ok defensively but don't think we're ready to invite more pressure on ourselves just yet. Tansay's experience will reduce that.

To be fair though, as you say, he is a better defender than Tansey, so might be what we need to protect BJB, who seems to alternate between a tackling god and being powder puff.'"


That is very true, normally I would be on his back more than I am but I do think he's trying but his timing is still way off - he should have made the tackle at Widnes last night - he got it all right bar the last bit. For this reason I personally rate the more reliable Owen, not as quick but tackles well and has a knack of popping up in the right place to score tries.

Quote: vastman "No offence BLM but we are a few levels down from SL here. That's not a dig but you've a wee bit more room to experiment there.

Still be interested in how he goes.

How come when ever I go on the York site JC never gets a mention, is he in the first team? I'm very interested in his progress.

When Phil Clark stated that one of our three young players would be a future International, one a Man of Steal and one another acholade (can't remember what he said) just out of interest who do you think each statemant refered to?'"

It was a little bit tongue in cheek Vasty, yes he's in the 1st team, 3 tries in 4 games definitely Tom and Max in the predictions and I think Jordan may have been the third, having an abundance of 2nd rowers at the moment he's going to have to be patient for his chance to be given.

Quote: vastman "Bit OTT as usual.

Hall and Walton next week, pretty obvious. Week after Tupou should be back giving extra choices.

Pitty Morris had to call it a day.'"

It's not ott I just can't believe our centres keep getting injured!! It's not a position that this usually occurs. Not like you to have a ott reaction to an observation is it.... icon_rolleyes.gif

I was only saying this morning how well we have covered the centre positions this year. Even having lost Tupou,Arundel, Lyne and now Gibson we could still put Hall and Walton in there and not look particularly weak.
Also i suspect Tupou is not v far away from coming back.

I dont think there would be many loanees out there that would be an improvement on what we already have.

Would rather be in the position we are now regarding injuries,than last year.
All in the forwards last year, all in the backs of his year.
Unfortunate but easier to cover.

Would think Chester will go with Hall and Walton next week and probs Hall and B.Toups week after as for Tansey yes he is versatile and can play centre but for me is a better full back but can be a diamond or dirt and we have full back covered very well.

If Toops is fit then he has to start, however with it being challenge cup, What about Richie Owen slotting into centre, his defence on the whole isn't that bad...

Quote: vastman "I agree he's not the most cultured I've seen, however he has played most of his career at centre whilst Tansey has hardly ever player there. Tansey is also a weak defender and Walton is strong.

Not just digging at you but I just dont get this obsession with picking out of position players in preference to those with experience. People on here are doing the same with Hall, almost demanding he is a SL standard HB despite the flimsiest of evidence to support it. I assume it's based on the fact that very occasionally he can pass a ball. Yet you suggest Howarth as back up some tool laughs at you when in reality he's as much of a claim as Hall. I'm assuming this is based purely in the fact that Hall can run faster, it's certainly not based on any other known facts. That said these are the same people who will post the following week that Tupou or Lyne will never be Centres despite having played many games in that position with a good level of competance.

I'm not against players changing positions, quite the opposite but there has to be a reason for it and the ability to do so. In the case of BJB he wanted to be a F/B and everyone assumed he would be good at it, but he was poor and that happened because people listened to the player and not what they saw. Mopsey warned us all and he was spot on this time. Tom Johnstone on the other hand looks very capapble of moving to the centres and maybe even S/O in the years to come but it needs to be planned.

The only other sound reason for playing a player out of position is when there is absolutely no one else available. So back to Walton - he's available and he's an experienced centre and for me should get the gig no questions asked.

Finally for the reactionaries out there who small minds I can hear crunching into gear - wingers becoming H/B's especially S/O's are a very common and higly successful phenomina indeed. I give you

Garen Casey

It wasn't too long back you wanted to move Annakin to centre and Howarth to stand off. It's taken a while but at least you're starting to see some sense.

Howarth was suggested as emegency cover. Anyone with any kind if Rugby brain can see it's a job he could do very well if required, I really don't see what your issue is on this one other than ignorance.

Annakin was more left field, but this is a forum for all and not your own personal sounding board.

Now go off and play on your shrimp boat.
