We have, Peter Fox currently averages 8.03m.

Fox was our top metre maker last year. This says more about our exit set strategy than it does about our forwards.

compared to craig halls 13.05 metres per carry it does clearly say alot

If he played like Fitzy im sure we wouldnt mind

Says nothing to me. Hall's try on Friday night alone will distort averages over such a small number of games. Fox is continuing to do a cracking job for Rovers and is one of a small group who, so far have not let their standards slip from last season.

As usual, a potentially sensible debate about Rovers players turns into a EDIT contest due to EDIT like yourself.

Fair play to Fox, considering he hasn't made many breaks that is good going. However, this is about forwards, if you are having to rely on the likes of Fox to carry your pack forward then that just backs up my point abount your pack lacking power.

Most teams have at least a couple forwards who scatter defenders and put their side on the front foot, you have to hope Clinton does this for you because so far you don't seem to have any.

We didn't have any that fit that description last season either. Fozzard was supposed to but rarely did, partly due to him covering Vella's absence for the 1st half of the season. An impact prop is something we have lacked since our promotion. Aizue could do this to a certain extent, as could Ryan Tandy in 2007, but on the whole its a type of player we have lacked for some time. Time will tell if Clinton is up to the task.

thing is this year the better sides aren't under peforming

You started it by bringing up Fox's stats. I gave a like for like stat blowing yours away. Of course wingers are going to have better stats than forwards

The cheek of some people

P.S If you are losing an argument just start insulting people it works for this imbecile every time

example of who is the resident spoiler

last year was not a true reflection due to the underperforming

This year and the previous 20 are proof of that

just for the record I meant Hull, Warrington, Wigan & Bradford

Bradford being the only one not to regain form

I only brought Fox's stats up to explain to Mr Z-H that we have players acheiving over 7m/carry. Wingers will not always have better stats than forwards, depends on what their coach asks then to do. Morgan always works his wingers from DH early in the sets. He did this with Byron Ford & Jon Steel back in NL and has even recruited wingers (e.g Colbon) who can do this effectively. Not my preferred style, but he's the gaffer and seems to know what he's doing!
