Who are you refering to when you say "you lot"?

When did I say "retire him now"?

but if that is what the game plan requires him to do, that is what he is going to concentrate on.
He has changed his game to fit in to the pack.

I have watched the replay, not that I needed to, and while I see the mistakes he made he was a net contributor to the overall effort.

This was the first game this season where I really felt JD was leading us from the front, almost willing his team mates to follow his lead in terms of effort and commitment. So he made some errors, who does'nt, but they did'nt cost us dearly and they were the product of fatigue in itself a product of his 100% effort.

I thought he put himself about above and beyond the effort of most of his team mates and as a result I include him on a list of those who should be exempt from major criticism.

for me jd s done..... you must not have played before or was watching a diffrent game 20+ tackles in first half and carry's then pushed from piller to post to fill in where needed and still trying to push the side around your def not watching closely and not noticing was happening

just watched the last hour on sky plus as i was away all weekend. whilst we had no penetration whatsoever what i saw was people low on confidence and devoid of ideas, but a team working pretty damn hard. we need a win and need it badly because our chins are in our boots at the minute.
i'm much more optimistic for the rest of the season if we are to see that level of effort.
