Can you mend a lada? He's been awful tonight and it'll be a miracle if we can make a player out of him. |

| Luckily we have miracle full time training methods that make world beaters out of average players 
Had to laugh when he lost the ball in goal, his face afterwards was like ... oops! |

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

Ah Van was poor tonight, but he's better than that, imo. He is definitely a winger though.
Bradford's halfback pairing is and creates very little. When they do click, they play well. They have a decent pack with two great hookers and their back line ain't too shabby either. If they can bring in a decent Scrum half and stand off they'd gel much better. They're a bit like Hull FC in that.
As a result they are often disjointed. When things go well they look great, but fall apart under pressure. It's hard for any player to give his best under those circumstances. I think Ah Van could go well for us next season, provided that we don't make the same recruitment mistakes as Bradford. I think that Mick Potter is a fairly good coach and will rectify their problems next season.

On last week was excellent though. So definitely potential to be brought out! |

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

He might improve when he moves over to Widnes. A lot of overseas players tend to do better in their 2nd year than their first.
However, Ah Van has a tendency towards laziness so if he's going to be on the wing, I hope Widnes have a good centre to pick up his slack

Well when we play you next season it will be Raynor vs Ah Van. And I know we have the better winger in that battle.

By "better" do you mean he has a more impressive criminal record?

No, I believe he means stronger runner and better defender. |
