agree, i think lee has done nothing wrong this season, he's cut out the silly mistakes to his game and has knuckled down in the gym by the looks of him...he's a great tackler too...

Thackeray did an excellent job for us in nl1, unfortunatley he was a turnstile in defence at sl level. Shame because he has many excellent attributes, but until he can sort out his defence he will never be a sl player.

Have you seen Thormans tackling

How many times has our club made its fans ask that question ??

theres more to come aswell in the near future me thinks

To be fair, most of the time the answer is blindingly obvious.

It's not the players we've got rid of that's the problem. It's the ones we've kept.

You do know that Sean Long failed in the top flight with Wigan and then dropped down a division to play for Widnes right?

Yup.

Are you suggesting some sort of equivalence of ability between the two?

Not anymore, his defence is now spot on.

Against NL1 opposition, the key issue/fact in this conversation.

I very much hope thats true he always put effort in when playing for us and helped us get promoted so i would like him to do well. One word of warning though, he never seemed to have to much of a problem when we had him in nl1 but that all changed when we got to sl and the people running at him where generally faster and bigger.

Simple really.

to be fair the lad wasn't released by either club, he asked to be released from contracts early to play for a team that was gonna give him game time - can hardly blame the kid. and it just so happens that those clubs were lower division, doesn't mean he won't come to Superleague standard one of these days. I think, given chance at our club, he could have come good and be playing regular first team now.

Has to be better than Thorman !!!!!
