Did anyone think he was liability in defence last season, he's not that small a man but he tends to hide in the line when defending.

Does anyone think he's a bit lazy as well? I just expected a bit more from him up to now this season. His mouth has got him in the sin bin twice this season already.

Heard you lot were raving about him last year, do you just think Swinton haven't got the talent for him to shine with?

was bit of a poor defender.

you have to accept that he aint a good tackler & just concentrate on all the good he does with ball in hand (and on foot!).

You dont pick a half back to be a top tackler.

He tackled like a turnstile!

However, other aspects of his game were excellent.

your only as good as the players around you imo.

im sure he will be frustrated playing in such a different side to be honest

and holly has never been mr commitment to the team

If he doesn't have players running the right lines he probably has nobody to pick out.

Plus didn't he make the NL2 team of the month last month??

Was talking to Stuart Fielden recently and "Turnstyle" was Andy Hobson's nickname within the Bradford team all those years ago.

Should still be, although Watene is pretty similar.

Man Of The Match for Swinton in every single game he has played for them according to the papers. Not bad going.
