I think Murrell is very under-rated, by other teams as well as fans, that's why he was so good on Sunday. He can get on with it while the opposition are watching Dobbo.

Murrell had a great game yesterday but if we had a fully fit squad to choose from, I don't think he's consistently good enough to be selected in our first choice 17.

totally agree with that lovegrove is an unsung hero

Murrell was my motm on Sunday. His distribution was first class, as was his tackling. He deserves his place in the team.

Scott always gives 100% for the rovers cause,he loves the club as much as us the supporters and is a must for the derby! Saying that i do believe it will be his final year with his beloved Robins !

I said it at the start of the season, its going to be difficult to fit Murrell into the team. He does have a utility tag about him but for me the discovery of Hally has made it even harder for him.

However, if Scott can maintain (and improve on) the form he is in over the next 3-4 games then he might be difficult to leave out. The problem is can he improve enough to keep his place? His downfall is lack of speed from a standing start. He has a good engine but only has one gear! In his favour, though, is his kicking game, he has a good understanding with Dobbo, very good passing skills, and he can dish out big hits.

To counter the suggestion Murrell is in good form a colleague has suggested he looks good at the moment because Dobbo has hit a rich vien of form. I can buy into that argument although you can say Scott's role is allowing Dobbo the space to run the show, something Hally isn't able to do but we know Blake does.

The thing is, though, Blake will bring so much more to Rovers (even Hally has), whereas Scott has been playing a supporting role and a good one at that. To me Scott will need to find another postion in the team unless Sandy has another switch play in question lol!

Yeah.
When you start to think about it Scott is gunna struggle when everyone is fit.
1-5 Obviously not.
6-7 Wont be infront of Dobbo or Green.
8-12 Doubt he will get a look in with how CS has been using his forwards as Scott just isn't big or mobile enough IMHO.
So that leaves 13 which all depends how CS want to play it, If he wants 5 monsters and a hooker on the field then that means Scott is gunna really struggle.

Trouble with Hall at 6 is that his defence is not good enough. For all he adds in attack we lose in defence.

I thought the option to use Murrell to kick at the end of our first few attacks gave Dobbo more room later in the game.

There is rarely a time when everybody is fit. He offers good cover for the halves, can play 13 or from the bench. Valuable club-trained-qualified member of the squad IMO.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly.
He is gunna have to play 'wherever' though as he is gunna struggle to nail down a position as his own is my point.

Fair point.

Just managed to get the match on Hull KR TV. That was quite a turn of pace that Scott showed when he nearly put Shannon in the clear. That few pounds he's shed looks to have made a big difference.

We don't really know what Sandercocks approach will be once he has options in midfield, so far he's had to go with what's been available.

Scotty was great on Sunday & does a lot of unappreciated work, pressuring kickers etc. I think it was him getting off the line quickly & forcing a couple of rushed plays from Kevin Brown that started the change in momentum.

Hands up who thought Murrell & Netherton would be the last 2 survivors from our NL team?

What Murrell does bring is a calm in defence and he can hit bl00dy hard when he wants. great game Sunday.

Scott was an unsung hero on sunday, best game of the season for me. Obviously behind dobbo, blakey and hall, but can cover for them and in the back three as well.
