Quote: Gavin Miller - Legend "At last the true point comes out.

Mills was Rovers weakest Prop and was released.
Dowes is Hull's weakest and got a new deal.'"

In a nutshell.

Quote: Gavin Miller - Legend "icon_biggrin.gif
She seems pleased that they retained him.
Almost as pleased as the rest of the super league.
Damn we should have released one of those 4 players and gone all out to pinch Dowes from under the grasp of Richard Agar obviously. Not at all. The thread has gone like this:

GML chooses to slag Ewan Dowes as the equivalent of Mills and specifically to mock his tackle busting as embarrassing.
I then point out that Dowes, who I don't particularly rate, as our 5th choice prop is still better from a tackle busting perspective than 4 of Rovers props, including the superstar that was the highest paid forward at Brisbane and was being touted for Man of Steel on here.
Whether you rate Dowes or not, and clearly you don't, and I don't, you'd look a complete chump singling out his tackle-busting as an embarrassment when he outperforms most Rovers props on this measure.
I note GML fails to point out in his glee at FC missing out on LMS and Fielden, that Rovers were definitely targetting Radford (a point GML himself has confirmed himself) yet couldn't manage even him.
Still, with Mason arriving in 2 days, and the tackle-busting marvels you already have, I'm sure that's all forgotten. icon_lol.gif

Nice try, but no cigar, I'm afraid. You specifically mocked Dowes' tackle-busting. His tackle-busting is better than that of Clinton, Watts, Wheeldon and Netherton. Dress it up how you like, but those are the facts. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Of course, as you confimed on here, Morgan did have a target prop, Radford, but were disappointed to miss out. icon_lol.gif

Quote: Roofs "

Oh, come on, Roofs, which bit is a lie?
Not the Radford bit, clearly
Quote: Roofs "Morgan wanted Radford but the fans didnt.'"


Nor the stats bit on tacklebusting:
Dowes 15 in 25 = 0.60 per game
Clinton 13 in 23 = 0.57 per game
Watts 14 in 26 = 0.54 per game
Wheeldon 9 in 22 = 0.41 per game
Netherton 8 in 24 = 0.33 per game

Do be more specfic. icon_wink.gif

Oh dear.
We could get technical and point out that Morgan has a preference for more mobile props who cover the ground quicker and get a quicker play the ball away but i fear it would go completely over your head.
I await Ewan's line breaking performances with interest now icon_cool.gif

We could, but you tried that by singling out Dowes' tacklebusts as a specific area of weakness when he outperforms your MOS-elect as well as Watts in this respect. Best not.

Quote: Gavin Miller - Legend "I await Ewan's line breaking performances with interest now'"

Well based on last year's stats you'll wait less time to see one from Ewan than the majority of your props. icon_lol.gif

Not really England was like a GB 2nd team in those days.
Lets see if Mrs B can come back with stats/averages based on actual minutes on the field seeing as she want more specific icon_biggrin.gif

Are you allowed to enter into a new negotiation whilst still reneging on the old one?

Lets see if Mrs B can come back with stats/averages based on actual minutes on the field seeing as she want more specific I'm well aware of that. You said England. Dowes has played for England. Same as Dowes has made more tackle busts both in absolute terms and per game than most of Rovers props. I know you don't like it, that's why you've tried to excuse Watts on the basis of position, despite the fact that there are actually backrowers like Manu who made over 90 last year, and you've challenged it on a "per game" basis and that didn't work either. Keep digging that hole though. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Blah Blah.
So tackle busts averages based on actual time spent on the field are what then.
Its a simple enough request icon_biggrin.gif
I mean come on, your delight when Clinton only played 2 short spells on his debut at Cas was all over this forum.
Just reply with the answer not your usual flannel.
