Only ones I would disagree with are watts and probably whiting. Watts has been messed about by radford. he was our best prop in the derby then gets dropped so not sure what the issue is

I'd rather have Crookes than the bin man, if that means giving Crookes a run out on the left when Lineham comes back then so be it, I don't see that Talanoa offers anything more than Crookes IMO and in fact Crookes is bigger AND faster.
As for getting rid of all our halves..sorry but that's just crazy, keeping Rankin is a must because he offfers more than Horne and if we are to get a 7 then we need somebody bedded in at 6 already.
Miller must be given longer to play, this season at least, I'm not saying he is the solution & we keep him but let's be honest, at times we have been absolutely gash and we are not a one man team. Despite everything that has been said of him, he's 21 and at times he's had poor first pass service behind a pack getting dominated, how many other teams in the bottom half of the league have a 21 year old no.7 that is dominant and looking like an all-star when you're just not that good as a team?
Add into that that our gameplan is poor and doesn't suit his natural flamboyant style, he will go somewhere else and flourish I have no doubt.

Well you seem to be in the minority where Talanoa is concerned. The general consensus seems to be that we get his signature on an extended contract asap. Still you're entitled to an opinion, even a wrong one!!

Depends how much he wants and who else is available. His poor positional play and lack of pace mean he is only an average winger in SL terms IMO. if we can find better we should let him go.

| I actually agree with him over talanoa . I think he's average at best , unless he hasn't shown his full potential yet I don't see the big thing about him . For his size , I don't think he runs his weight and sometimes I do wonder if he knows the rules . Ok he's a number , and we could do a lot worst and not saying crookes is better then him but I'd keep crookes if wage is ok and have him as our 3rd choice winger . Not a bad replacement to cover for injurys .

I'd like to see him play in the centre.

Really? I mean really? Bin man's been a bargain for me. Can't be a better value for money player in the league I'd imagine he's on peanuts. When you take into consideration he's playing on the wing in a largely under performing team. Don't think I've seen him enough in clear open space to dismiss his pace outright although don't think he's lightening.
What I like is he's often not even put to ground and plays the ball standing and takes up 2 and 3 defenders. Always gets a fast play of the ball, has a good urgency to do so. Physically is big(one comment on here said he wasn't and crooks bigger-WHAT?)
downside is his positional play-maybe a consequence of being out the game so long. Baring in mind he's not had an off season either and less than 10 games back. All that said he's our
4th top try scorer
3rd top carrier
3rd top metre maker
4th for metres per carry
2nd top off loader
8th most clean breaks
Personally I think he's only gonna improve the more games he plays

I agree. The only bad game I saw him have was against Wakey. Much better than Crookes or Colbon IMO.

You forgot top of tackle busts.
Certainly needs to improve or work harder on his positional play, as he has been caught out twice on 40/20's. But he is a good winger who works hard for the team , is a good defender and finisher.
Certainly a value for money winger in a team that doesn't use their wingers enough (apart from acting half) and playing outside Yeaman.
Still like us to sign another winger for competition.

Yes really , I do think he's average unless he's got more in his locker . It seems like you and others only rate him because of his so called cheap salary . So what you mean is you wouldn't be happy if he was on a lot of money . There's a reason why he's getting paid ( peanuts ) . We have enough average players in our squad as it is . Would you still rate him and want him if he wanted or got £100k a year ?
