Quote: Willzay "At this moment in time I don't see how Howarth could be any worse an option than Miller. Sure he might be slow but Sykes and Smith weren't exactly quick.'"

Other than personal reasons why would you want to move Howarth from a position he's doing rather well in at hooker and move him to a position he's apparently not played before just to remove Miller?

Quote: Sacred Cow "Howarth never played stand off for us during his first spell, he appeared pretty much exclusively at loose forward. In fact he hasn't (other than maybe a mid-game fill in due to injury) played at stand off for any of his clubs in superleague. He played a little there at junior level for Wigan i believe but moved to the back of the pack where his lack of speed was less noticable. This is not to say he couldn't probably do the job just as well as the rather clueless Miller but for me his best position is at dummy half where he has a good eye for a gap close to the line and his good defensive qualities in the middle of the park make us tough to break down there. He has been good so far so why change that, him and Moore rotating for me would be the best option.

As for stand off, if Miller doesn't come good soon and we need a change then i would be tempted to try Tansey there alongside Finn. He has a good support game and has enough pace which will offset Finns downfall in that department and has played plenty of first team rugby there, albeit not for a while i grant you. I personally don't rate Miller in the halves, for me some of the better rugby he played last year was when he switched to fullback where the extra space seemed to suit him, sadly he seems like a headless chicken at times at stand off. So by way of a change leave Finn to be the organiser and Tansey as the support act and see if it works better.'"


Rubbish, he's played S/O a few times and I've seen him or does he just state these things fun. I'd love to know where you got the "never" from. Followed every game he's been in have you?

Quote: PopTart "Tansey has proved in pre-season he is not a half back.

I'm happy to progress with Miller. He has done a great job in defence in both organising, sweeping up and one on one tackling.
He had a few runs against Rovers but just couldn't get the space. It will come on the dryer grounds and when our forwards get quick play the ball.
He should stay.

Hall in my opinion has skills, but we would be adding a weak tackler in to the team when we have only just sorted that out.

Howarth I don't mind as cover at SO. I'd rather put him with Miller though so we don't have two slow half backs but I don't think Vasty is wrong. Howarth has the skills, just not the speed.'"


Is he that slow? I know he's no speedster but I've seen slower halfbacks - Tim Smith springs to mind. I'm not saying your wrong I'm just not sure he is that slow.

He's slower than Miller but I wouldn't like to put money on a foot race between him and Finn right now.

Quote: ScrummingJumper "I can't work out if you are the most arrogant, ignorant man on these boards! If anyone doesn't take on board your almighty rugby knowledge then you are straight on the offensive.

I take into account your link but I also take into account that I have eyes, have seen him play and like many others who must also be thick and ignorant can not believe for a moment Stuart Howarth is a super league level half.

As it will be impossible to have any sort of reasonable debate with you as you obviously know much much more than me regarding the subject I'll sit back and keep my opinions to myself. God forbid anyone have a differing opinion to yourself on a forum.'"


I do love folk like you - you feel you can post as derogatory a comment as you wish but when someone has the audacity to hit back as hard or harder you run off blubbing. I made a very sensible suggestion, you chose to have a pop - at least be big enough to accept the consequences.

The bit in bold is truly arrogant, it's your opinion and that of a few others - doesn't make it so does it.

At no point did anyone think Sykes was a S/O and please don't pretend you did yet combined with Smith he was excellent. Tracey Lazenby also springs to mind as do many others. Trinity's recent history is full of players stepping up to the mark, when will people like you ever learne - it baffles me it really does. It's often a case of who fits and Howarth in my clearly nowhere near as clever opinion as yours is a player who fits with other players - just a thought.

But hey folks lets just carry on stereotyping players and not giving them the benefit because we all know the signing of Johnathan Thurston is just around the corner. icon_frustrated.gif

Miller is lightning quick but needs a foil, Howarth would offer that if Finn were injured. If Miller were injured then Fin and Howarth would perhaps be a little pedestrian but still IMHO a more serviceable partnership than Hall who is talented but as yet seems to be a bit spineless. I suppose Moore is the most obvious step up although it's a while since he's played at 6 or 7.

Disagree by all means but don't make up "facts" you can't prove No it's not rubbish, he has never started a superleague game at stand off. As i stated he may have filled in for injury mid-game and I think he might of played a challenge cup game there for saints, thats it. The 'facts' are out there, feel free to chase them up yourself.

Quote: Sacred Cow "The point being the style of players they are as opposed to the others mentioned. Miller and Tansey have the same style in the halves, where their game is based around footwork, speed and support play. Whether Tansey would do a better job than Miller is the debate and yes i have my doubts but if Miller continues to under-perform with the ball then it may well be worth trying out to see without having to change the whole system in place. Defensively they are similar, Miller has improved a lot recently recently but remember at times last season he looked like he couldn't tackle a hot dinner let alone anyone else so isn't infallible. Whilst you don't tend to pick a halfback for his defensive quality the have to be able to hold their own and both can to a similar level imho its just the attack that is failing. We have scored just 6 tries in 3 games, 3 of which have been from Howarth running from dummy half from inside the 10 meters. We may need to try something different soon and for me Finn has to stay so Miller is the one under threat. It can be all rendered immaterial though if Miller picks his game up and starts performing over the next couple of weeks.'"


So let me get this straight, Howarth is not a S/O and has never played there at SL level but Tansey is and has.

Odd because Jordan Lewis Tansey doesn't even bother to mention that on his Wiki site his dominance of the position is such common knowledge.

Absolute comedy gold.

No you do it, it's your claim - seeing as it's squad numbers these days I'll be facinated to see how you do. You could give him a ring I suppose.

What you are doing is stating your own pre-concieved opinions as fact - but they are not facts are they a046.gif

Maybe if you cut down on the faux outrage and embarrassing bluster and also read things properly you'd have seen my take on it fully in previous posts.

And you do know how wikipedia works don't you?

Apologies but as stated its a truly pointless exercise expressing any opinion that differs from yours. I do accept you hit back as you put it and I can certainly take your points on board, i certainly don't agree with the majority but again I take it board. I do Accept where you state"it's your opinion and that of a few others, doesn't make it so does it" maybe you should take note of your own words.

As for the accepting the consequences part, you do know this is a forum not a playground don't you?
