| Quote Pickering Red="Pickering Red"You're up there with Stan as our number one forum Statto on this evidence, Easty!
So Dixon has missed 75% of his tackles, that's shameful. The good news is that he's made fewer tackles all season than Boudebza, McCarthy and Larroyer have made in some single games. Reliance on the defensive element of his game has been minimised thankfully.
Fortunately fullback is one of those positions nowadays which is regarded more as a strike position than a defensive linchpin. Catalans have given us space in both SL games this season, they gave Wakefield a load of space last weekend and for me Kieran Dixon will exploit it better than Ben Cockayne. Teams like Huddersfield and Saints don't give you this luxury.
I would pick Dixon against Cats, Salford and Hull and Cockayne against Huddersfield and Saints.'"
Made 43, missed 33.
33/(33+43)=43% missed.
Still not exactly ideal of course. |

Ahhh dam it, that's what you get when you're a male species attempting to multi task.
Or at least that's what the wife tells me.  |

| Quote Sandro II Terrorista="Sandro II Terrorista"Dixon is so far the better option it's not funny.
His passing game when chiming into the line is at least as good as Cockayne's, they're both liable to wang one into row Z.
They're both as liable to drop a kick on the sixth.
Dixon had to come a long, long, way for the one he dropped on Friday in a swirling wind and rain, one of the wings should have taken that.
Those are the negatives.
Dixon has searing pace, he's electric over five to fifteen metres. Cockayne isn't.
Dixon has fantastic footwork,he could pick a lock with his toes, Ratchford didn't get within a metre of him on Friday. A metre! As good as a mile.
Cockayne has never and will never go full length.
Dixon writes a goodbye letter to the opposition whilst doing this
There's absolutely nothing about personalities or previous indiscretions in that post.
We've got a solid plYer and a fantastic talent to choose from.
Cockayne didn't cut it for us on 2007, how relieved where we when we signed Briscoe?
The last point I would makemis that contrary to an earlier post, Cockayne is really not some sort of tactical genius when it comes to calling the defensive plays.
Both have vast improvement to make in this department, but one's thirty and the other twenty two.'"
Very good post which sums up perfectly imo the important differences between the two players and highlighting why on this occasion at least, Chester will hopefully opt for Kieran Dixon at fullback against Catalan.
I'm wondering if Chris Chester may actually decide to have BC on the bench. |

| Quote Oafy="Oafy"As fans we cant decide on cockayne or Dixon so imagine how hard it is for Chester
my take on it is i just hope he gets the decision right'"
The fact that supporters cannot agree on who should be playing at fullback has absolutely no bearing on how hard it is for Chester to make a decision. His decision will be made on which player he feels will fit better into his game plan for the match. As supporters we do not know the details of the game plan and so are not in a position to make that decision. Supporters have many reasons for championing particular players. Cult status is one and Ben has this in spades with some supporters. Kieron is beginning to develop his own cult status.
Having said all of that to proceed further we need to win the match. Kieron is a match winner and as a supporter I want him to play tomorrow. |

Dixon is your version of Catalan's Escare. They're both potential match winners and surely Chester has to pick Dixon.

If Lunt is fit I can't see him going with either BC or KD on the bench. One will start the other will miss out.
The bench will be Lunt, Donaldson and 2 props. |

can see cats going down the middle even though you have forwards back, if you get early scores you will win easily, but if its a slow niggle game then maybe it will be very close,

The last game at our place Cats looked like blowing us away in the first half and we cut loose after the break. Can't see that happening again. It'll be a tight nervy affair that I hope we'll edge. |
