I think he wears a blind fold nevermind a cape and mask !!!

Funnily enough after all this discussion
Molloy, Mellars and Mariano are all picked at the weekend.
We will be able to judge each against the other.

I would compare Mariano against Mellars and Molloy against Walshaw (if he plays) and Trout

Nah, he only wears the blindfold at games - and thats only when his blinkers are in the wash.

Been having a chat with a few people about Molloy and things seem very positive. Seems to have been on the radar of some people who are a very good judge of a player for some time. Injuries have been the problem with his development. You never know we may have just got a good un.

Given the current state of our squad this was a poor signing, with no disrespect to Molloy as I have never seen the lad play, but the back row was the last place we needed to strengthen!
Mariano has the potential to be a quality second row forward and he needs to be out there playing. Mellars is another who for me should continue in the side at Wigan he was one of our best players, and I'm sorry but if someone plays well, particularly against Wigan you keep them in the team!
I believe Agar has dropped a clanger here and looks to be forming a squad of yes men, personalities will always clash, but you cant just drop someone as they wont agree with you.

If you compare the two player's background, they are poles apart. Molloy been at Wigan and Hudds, by the sound of it, has the right attitude. Possibly willing to play for peanuts this year, in the hope of proving himself and getting a contract upgrade for next year. Mariano released by HKR and picked up by us when we were scratching around for players. 6 into 3 spots doesn't work, but as was posted on another thread about the team being 'lazy', got to have good back up with the right attitude to keep starting 3 on their toes. Annakin and Molly must have this and Mariano can't have.

And you know all this how

Last bit is pure opinion and conjecture nothing more.

Also 4foxsake the name belongs to the fanzine of the same name, why are you using it?

I have no idea what going on with FM, its been suggested he may be lazy or he may be cutting corners.

Can anyone explain if that was the case with Ellis when he could not get a sniff in the team.

Just asking like.

No idea. Personally think Ellis was about making a point and he was the pawn, but it's just a guess.

Are you suggesting he gathers a team who don't want to follow him?
Seems to me a team of yes men, when you are asking them to run through brick walls is exactly what you need.

Saturday's game gives Molloy, Mariano an Mellars a big chance to put themselves top of the list for regular first team selection. Would like to see Mellars back in the centre. A full game from Mariano, and Molloy to play at least an hour.

Of FM I would say that it takes 2 to tango. Perhaps FM does need to up his game, but perhaps also - after a year and a half of being a second choice - he feels a little let down and disconnected from the club / coaching staff? I really don't know. I would also note that there is nothing to suggest or confirm that FM may be leaving - just people putting 2 and 2 together....

Of LW I would note that the kid has issues away from the rugby field which are personal and important to him. I don't think lack of ability comes into it, but perhaps RL is not his immediate priority in life.

Listening to some Fev fans at work Frankie is heading their way.
