Easy to say when out anyway. Good way to put a rocket up a player

You must have been watching a different game to me. (I'm assuming you're referring to Monaghan's 2nd half try.)

Did you got to the Wire game? Lineham was woefully out of position for both Hormsby tries, he was stood next to his centre on both occasions, for no reason whatsoever.
No problem with him dropping him for it, if he has the right attitude it won't be long before he's back.

i went to the wire game, stood to the left of the posts, the side yeaman was defending in the second half! he just stood and watched the ball bounce in front of him! didnt even attempt to knock it out, monaghan pounced and that allowed them to get on top, it was a speculative kick as they couldnt break us down until that!

the lineham tries he let in were on the other wing from our view, say what you want but that try yeaman let in allowed a clueless wire back into the game!

I'm no Yeaman fan and came to the same conclusion as you at the time, but looking back at the highlights it's difficult to see what he could have done.
Lineham stays on his wing and marks his man you can deduct the 10 points they scored.

attempt to put the ball dead would have been a start , even moving could've prevented monagahn from getting in! poor play!

ill stand by my origanal post, radford will drop game changers, match winners but not steady eddies and we all know who they are!

Try watching the replay. Yeaman was running back towards the ball, which landed about 3 yards away from him, and then bounced (almost backwards) over his outstretched hand by about 3 feet. I'm not defending Yeaman, no centre would have touched the ball. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... episode-14 @15:26 minutes

I'll take your word for it, to me and others around us it just looked lazy play!

players like yeaman and michaels aren't match winners like shaul and lineham but the latter seem to be dropped no matter!

I'm not defending any coach, but know I will be accused of it, but why would anyone in any sport for that matter drop match winners knowing that it could cost them their job? Put an end to good form? Get them relegated or even knocked out of cup competitions? I just don't see how they would pick someone because people say he's a mate, some fans don't see the whole picture I don't think, they just see it as someone was picked in place of someone else & when a player makes a mistake which happens in sport the coach gets blamed for picking favourites, to me you train your squad & pick the best team on how well they've trained prepared in the correct manner no niggling injuries. & what you see best to compete against good opposition & know they can do the job.

yeamans' and michaels' try scoring return this season is embarrising for a pair of centres! 1 try between them both! hardly inspires confidence in scoring tries! they are safe players there to not concede tries!

Lineham and Naughton on the wings, Sa and Talanoa in the centres looks good to me.

same, but highly unlikely to happen imo

I might be getting paranoid now but after 2 good victories i'm sure the coach would be accused of changing a winning team if he brought in different players,6 from 7 now but there always seems to be an agenda for the same people to look for something negative.

These players were involved in those wins getting dropped. Don't get me wrong delighted we are 6 from 7 but equally frustrated our top try scorers are being overlooked for safe players, he was quick to drop Naughton once yeaman was fit sgain

No I'd say defence & defensive positioning is also a very large part of a wingers game.
