"I hope we get to the bottom of the answer":13804.jpg



Quote: Thetalentboy "But likes of Taylor Houghton Griffin will never be cheap

Keep taylor he's still our best prop

Griffin not sure if he's truly cut out for a 2nd row and has no pace for centre

Houghton get rid , dwyer was good last night 3 breaks more of that needed

Clifford is our best half back since Kelly'"


Agree on Clifford and Taylor.
For me Griffin depends on what is available on the market. If there isn't much out there I'd be happy enough to keep him on for another year and see how he gets on. He's runs some decent lines and often seems a handful when hitting the line at pace.
I am still not convinced on Dwyer. He is definitely capable of adding a spark and creating something but he also takes some bad options, particularly on the 5th tackle. Both qualities were on show last night. Again, it very much depends on who is available for me.

He reminds me of Masi Matongo, big frame but just doesn't look aggressive enough or run his weight for me.

Quote: Steve0 "What's changed in the camp? Have the players finally bought into Smith's methods? Has the dropping of lovodua, Evans and savellio been a wake up call for others?'"

I thought that, I think Savellio in particular has been a sacrificial lamb, he's pushed the boundaries and refused to fall into line and has paid the price. Nobody doubts his quality on the pitch but from what i've seen first hand his general attitude off the pitch is horrendous. That is exactly what we've wanted Smith to do, I find it hilarious that some people who cried out for a culture change are now up in arms that Savellio isn't playing.

I think the case for Joey is that he doesn't have a set position so has found it harder to get any traction but his attitude and effort are fine. Evans just isn't good enough for me.

Quote: giddyupoldfella "There was a similar offence on Clifford against Rovers, when their player was binned. Although I don't think this one was as bad.

I don't remember whether that Rovers player got a ban or not, I'm sure some statto does though?'"

He got a one match ban,the worst was SKD no penalty during the game,then a 4 match ban,so who knows. icon_smile.gif

He was such a bit part , at the clubs you mention, because of his age and the fact that he was even included in those team's squad, speaks volumes about his abilities He was that good , he got an NRL gig. Injury cut that short , before he had a chance to progress. He is an excellent player, and I don't think he will be easy to replace with anyone of a similar standard, given what talent is available. If his attitude is disruptive and poor that is a shame, because we are a better team with him included. Got to back Smith's call on him, he sees him every day in and around training.

Quote: GrahamBray "Good win and certainly looks like Wakefield are down, sadly for their fans. Thought Taylor and Sao were great tonight, with Lane more direct too. Danny Houghton looked great and Sutcliffe was an inspired signing, always looking to attack and very solid in the tackle. Ref was a bit too involved for me, too many six agains and Clifford's try being ruled out was poor from the officials just as Come On You Ull has said, best stats since Toulouse away, defensively, and we can build on this. Shows how close things are when we are level on points with Saints, albeit played more games and just 4 off the Dragons. Can build into the season and the playoffs should be our goal now, relegation looks banished from our minds now and Smith can take us to a far better level, with some clever recruitment next year. I would definitely have a look at Whitbread for a possible signing , thought he was good and hope for Wakey's loyal diehards that they can survive the drop. Michael Carter was almost resigned to the fact , judging by his pre-match interview and it is hard to see where their next win will be, they have nothing in attack.'"


Their problem is not just relegation but in reality there is no way back into S/L even with the ground improvements

Always the Optimist never the Pessimist. Glass Half full not half empty man me.:8077.jpg



Griffin makes lots of metres runs his weight in 2nd row I think he will get a late decision Tag definitely another year, Houghton depends on what’s out there.

Hooker is a real dilemna still. Houghton has played his best rugby in years recently, Dwyer is very good at what he does but isn't the man to be our main number 9. Is he happy being a 25-30 impact player off the bench? Then there's Balmforth who I really like the look of and hope we don't end up losing, but obviously he's raw. We need to go look for a quality hooker who can control a game for us, but if we find him, how do we accommodate everyone else? Tough decisions to make on who stays and who goes.

But even Houghton playing "his best rugby in years" still doesn't make you go "wow"

Dwyer was better than Houghton other night cause he makes things happen

Houghton hardly rips teams apart like clark or roby

Wakey fan. Dwyer had a huge hand in you pulling away that second half. He always causes us issues. He creates chaos at the play of ball.

Exactly what we've missed for years some real attacking intent from dummy half
