i agree with you there mate cant stand some of our fans to quick to jump on a players back imo turner has been one of the better players over the last few weeks hes really taking that centre spot well. what we need is a decent winger and to get reece lyne in championship for a year he scores for fun in under 20's but needs a run in championship to get him ready people slate him to much wen he plays also and hes only 18 got bags of potential but not ready yet unfortunatly
but what big winger is they whos up for grabs???

David Hodgson? OOC and from Hull. Off to rovers though i reckon

yer hes a great finisher and not to bad in defense and i heard the same bout rovers
that worrency looked a handful got bags of pace playing for halifax strong aswell
some one like meli would be nice though pace and the ability to run over wingers lol

Whiting IMO was at fault (or at least partly) for 2 trys on Friday and also one last week against Salford, if Sharp had done the same there would have been a 10 page thread about him on here.

Whiting is too slow to defend against a winger as quick as Hall or Broughton, even though I haven't too much faith in Sharp I would be tempted to bring him back next week and have Whiting on the bench in place of Washbrook and Dowes in place of Lauaki.

I agree with most of that and said pretty much the same on Friday night. He got stood up against Salford with a simply step by Broughton and was too slow to react again on Friday. Any winger with any pace will always have the upper hand on him.

Like you say Sharp would have been crucified.

Are you suggesting that not all players are dealt with the same on here?

How very dare you.

The main problem is the system we play. We have our edge players cramming in and leaving the opposition winger free, with the intention of sliding out once the ball has been passed down the line. Some teams go man for man, for example Wigan. The system we play will mean that we will get caught out time after time with a long miss pass on our right hand side. Most teams prefer to attack down their left side, largely due to right handed players being better passers to this side.

In Whitings defence (pardon the pun) look what happened away at Saints when afer a re-shuffle he was in the middle of the park. The final try of the night (one of our best trys of the season) was the kind of try that FC simply don't score - all single handedly created by RW.

Why on earth he's not given more of a go in the middle is still a mystery to me. Instead revert back to Plan B, aka D.Washbrook. Even Cullen hit the nail on head in commentary the other night in his bafflement over that switch.

Said the same about Whiting plenty of times.

ryan hall has bagged about 75 trys in his career off that ball from sinfield.....
if we had ryan hall in our team, he'd be lucky to get 10-15 a season....

You lot moaning about that right hand side again? Oh and take a look at the Hudds site if you think Hodgson would be good! Saying that, they are a top team.

Bang on the money - IMHO
