Poore without the penalties is a great asset.
Good go forward, can rock opposition in tackle and when tackling.

He's a really nice guy and not unintelligent.
He didn't have a discipline issue in Oz.

But unfortunately he just doesn't seem to be able to control it here.
Its not even the odd punch, which he can certainly deliver.
It's the in tackle penalties. Laying on or poor technique cost Wakefield a lot.

The guy we replaced him with is less spectacular but is hard working and error free. Much better for us.

Seen Poore involved in quite a few fights on NRL footage but seemed to be in a time were punishment wasnt dished out as much.

The link was between his poor form when he did play and his regular bans

looking forward to him, weyman and burns in the derby. We might just have the beating of 10 men

Just an assumption then.

Should be a good spectator game, not so much for great rugby, but for a bit of biff. Do you think Radford will come out of retirement for this one, love to see him and Poore at it.

Fnarr, Fnarr.

Not diminishing Radfords fighting ability but Poore is no Bailey and Radford would get hurt. Poore is a good forward when he keeps his nose clean, the two bans he got while with us were for punching an opponent after heavy provocation. In the first he messed up Ryan Bailey good style and in the second he knocked out Liam Farrel with one punch.

I've also seen him chase 50 metres to make a try saving cover tackle and put his body on the line to make the unspectacular hard yards that some shy away from.

Give him time.

4 games suspended in the 1st 9 rounds. How much time should we give him?

Another 7 games suspension and he'll be brilliant.

They're trying to but he keeps getting himself banned!

Still an improvement on Ryan O'Hara

While it is a shame he is banned I have liked what I have seen from him. He plays plenty of minutes and puts in some good legal shots.

Sure he didn't need to go in and tip a player above the horizontal but it is no reason to just get shot of him.

We moaned that we didn't have an enforcer out there and that we were always bullied down the middle, well with the Walker twins, Weyman and Poore it is unlikely we will get bullied this year. We may get beaten by skill and speed but not by brute strength.

With Justin missing for 3 games let's just suck it up and give this opportunity to players like Cox and Green, this will give them the extended run that they need to fix themselves in to the 17.

Obviously not an assumption then
