They've thrashed better teams than WTW by more this season at home. They've spent to the salary cap and they're a quality team who should go far in the play offs if they get some consistency.

It took 3 to tackle Owen most time he ran the ball in. He's been ok so far but was below par as most were today.

Precisely so it is not on.

Then he shouldn't do it, you agree?

Agree with what, an individual having an opinion on a player he does not rate. I think Mathers is a rubbish player, yet am I an idiot for thinking that. You agree?

Don't waste your energy Pat they are bullys most of them. Its not just one mistake I think Owens effort has been poor. Compared to Fox he hardly carries the ball, hes very good at pointing and not much else. He is a player who needs to give everything if not he will be in the national leagues. I don't think hes given everything and tonight was pathetic. THE MAN NEEDS A CONTRACT.

You need to practice what you preach mate. You have posted no end of offensive remarks aimed at other posters. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. The Owen thread aside I can't make my mind up if you are really poor at sarcasm and humour or are just simple. Either you need to give your head a shake. The worse thing is on the odd occasion you write some really well thought out posts, but every decent one you post 100's of ridiculous ones.

Well..I see there's an intelligent debate going on here. First 2 or 3 games I thought duffer get rid. I thought after the last couple of games, he is getting better. Look, I think he has been starved of games. To single him out tonight is very unfair. For example, Tim Smith had the kind of game that made me happy he went to Salford for 90k..but he has been great since he came back. My feeling was, we had an utter mare but we didn't utterly fold. I was fearing 60 points but we had guts in defence and hung in for a bit of pride on a bad day. I am not for big reactions after the spirit shown over the past few weeks. Catalans is a tough place to go on a roasting hot night

I suppose that you could argue about R Owen & P Fox aqll night but if you want to compare them on one game , well thats hardly fair. Where as someone could write that Owens picked up more winning pay than Foxy this season while playing for Wakey. Just for the record b4 someone opens up another old chestnut, I thought that D Washbrook was probably one of the better players on our side.

Just to be clear if you dislike ngb4c op
Are you saying owen is a good player and that he had a good game?

For me his positional play defensively is terrible and was caught out numerous times last night. not a fan of his so far although im not writing him off quite yet

For me get riley signed up long term and lets see how owen goes for rest of the season

That's a very good point

I wasn't happy when we signed Owen but he's done ok over the last few weeks, well enough to get away with one game where he was poor but was by no means the only one.
Name 3 players who played better than their opposite number. I'm struggling to do so, in which case singling out one player just because you don't like him is akin to the bullying that NGB4C has accused others of.

It was Owen that clattered Escare in the first half causing the head injury wasn't it?

Not really a big fan of Riley. OK, he's filled a gap and "looks" to put in loads of effort but how many times does he actually break through a tackle, make a clean break on the outside or even take a high ball???
Not much difference between the two but I'd say Owen is potentially the better if he put in the same effort as Riley.






Think it was Scruton who banged heads with Escare.

All this arguing about opinions. At the end of the day there is only one opinion that really matters and that is whoever is managing and picking the team. Every fan's opinion on here should be respected and debated, but should not descend into name calling, we are mainly adults are we not?

Not really going anywhere this is it?
