| Quote trys'r'us="trys'r'us"Know he is what? All I'm saying is that he shouldn't get a first choice spot in the back-row. That's all I've been saying all thread long. I don't know if he'll play at all. Judging by performances last season, we might be intending to play him at 7. He shouldn't, however, be in the back row ahead of Tickle, Manu, Crocker or Washbrook.'"
How do you know he is going to be a first choice back-rower??

| Quote Gordon Gekko="Gordon Gekko"He was more consistant than both Tickle and Manu last year and his stats back it up. I can't beleive you seriously think Tickle and Manu offer more to the team based on 'recent' performances!!!! Tickle will have to produce way more now that Hull don't need him purely for his goalkicking and Manu will have to have a lot more than the couple of decent games he had last year.'"
I'd rather have someone vary between average and great than someone playing averagely every week.
The stats back up what the stats measure, and often what they measure are vague definitions of indefinable things. Nothing more.

I really hope I don't.

FFS. I don't. I haven't said he will be. All I'm saying is that he shouldn't be. Is that so hard to understand?

Not at all. But you must assume that he will be given a first team spot, otherwise why the complaints?

Do you seriously think that Tickle and Manu's performances vary between average and great????

Manu occasionally has a stormer, and I would have him in my team anyday of the week. Tickle, like you said, has to perform now that he isn't needed for just kicking. And I'm sure someone will disagree with me...

Are these the stats that show that Willie Manu has been in the top 10 tackle busters in Super League for the last 3 years running?
Manu is class and the introduction of Crocker should allow him to be used as strike player off the bench, which is what most would prefer to see I reckon.

The 'complaints' have been as a result of Big Dave T's insistence that 'Radders' should be in the first 13.

They're very rarely less than average.

I apologise then, I have only read a few pages on this thread, I'll take more notice next time. Just wish people would cut Agar and Radders a bit of slack.

Agreed, the problem was last season that the only time we looked like doing anything the ball had to be in Manu's hands. The opposition soon twigged and it appeared as thought Manu had gone missing as we desparately looked for a plan B which has yet to be thought of.
