Scott Murrell is like Tommy Gallagher. A nice kid, a bit of potential, plays lose forward but to fat and slow.

I see where you're coming from, but Scott is a lot better than Tommy. However like most people I do think he has got too big (whether muscle or fat), it is worrying that the coaching staff think he's perfectly fine in his current condition. He has never been blessed with pace, and therefore he more than most cannot afford to lose any by bulking up too much. Its a shame, I used to really rate him and his defence but I simply don't think he's as effective these days

Same could be said for Fox, been told to bulk up from last season - hasnt done him any good at all has it.

I think the main reason behind Fox's demise is his confidence is completely gone, but i agree that as a pacey winger there was no need for him to bulk up really

Uness his coach insisted on it so that he can take the 1st three drives every set 'cos the props ain't up to the job?

what props??? have we got any?

Yeah we got Sam latus

he a pub player

Seen this bulk up nonsense on a couple of threads. I dont think he has too much but lets talk Pat Richards, he's like a line backer but seems to do ok. Fox is never going to be a defensive giant but give him the ball in open play and he scores every time.

Hes just never given the ball enough imo

I thik fox has lost bulk from last year, He bulked up a hell of a lot between the 2009 - 2010 seasons and looked like it killed his pace. I actually commented in preseason that he looked leaner going into this season and expected we'd see a bit of his pace returning. Shame but his confidence and form seemed to collapse when he got tackled on that clean break at the Haliwell Jones. Scored that try (or held the ball) and we beat wire, unfortunately he dropped it and the rest is history.
