Quote: Matty_HullFC "It could be argued that our impact comes from in the second row with Hame, Manu and Tickle? I think when Radford, Dowes, Yak and O'Meley play our team has a better balance hence wins against Saints away, Hudds at home and Bradford at home.'"
I'd agree it could be argued our impact came from the 2nd rower if we could move the ball quick enough to isolate the likes of Manu and Lauaki in 1 on 1's but were so slow we give them the ball in standing positions up against 4 men. Manu in Leeds, Saints, Wire etc would be absolutley un-playable. For us he's just a player who doesn't take a backwards step. Other than O'Meley we have no rough, impact props. Cusack and Dowes are too similar and shouldnt be in the same team. Radford moving to prop has only given us another non impact prop. At least big Sam takes putting down. For some reason though Agar feels he can only do 2 10 minute stints. If thats the case why sign him?????
Our team didnt have a better balance against Saints, Bradford or d. It simply ed it down and reduced it to a mud fest. Of which we came through as our speciality isn't passing. Yet in dry conditions against the whipping boys in Salford, our 'challenge for honours team' took a battering
If I was Agar - instead of Moore as assistant I'd have an Indian Rain dance warrior!!!
We have some players that have to bust a gut just to get their chance to play and are then dropped for even the slightest of misdemeanours and others that can continue to make the same mistakes game after game and are still in the 13 every week.
