He wasn't holding his arm when he came off which says one of two things two me. Either it wasn't broke, or he is no pansy!

I quite like LMS. I think he's got real potential and is developing well. He worked well on Friday I thought (I was keeping an eye open for him as I think he's a real character). I hope that continues as it's great to have a London lad with talent playing league.

What a soft sh*te! Playing rugby league with a broken arm. :roll:


:?

Do you want to show me were i've said anything like that?

I've never really rated him, and i still don't. Playing with a broken arm, is brave but doesn't mean your a quality rugby player. Also, i said that he got up hurt a few times after some big tackle, and i felt that he was getting tackled very easily. It's my opinion, i'm not basing my opinion, on the fact he looked to have got injured a few times, i was quite obviously stating he was playing with an injury that seemed to come from a few big tackles.

But what's that got to do with anything, if you don't mind me being so direct? I mean, all rugby players get tackled very easily, especially those tasked with pushing forward. That's what defence work is, isn't it? And Fas got knocked out in the Leeds match. Does this mean he isn't to be rated either? Or Sean Long when he was injured in a tackle? I'm really not sure what the point is that you are making by linking your opinion of him as a player with being tackled and getting injured.

I might have used the wrong words, what i meant is i don't feel he runs his weight. Its very often the likes of Graham and Fas'avalu hit the defender but then continue to make extra yards, were as i always feel that Scarsbrook gets tackled first time far too easily.

The getting injured bit was just an observation from the match, i'm not linking my opinion to that, i just noticed he took a few knocks after a few big tackles were put on him. Fair play to him though, he kept getting up and taking the ball in again.

Ah, right. You mean actually brought down? He doesn't carry a few on his back for a while? I hadn't noticed that, to be honest. Maybe you're right, I don't know.

If he has broken his arm then he's a damn nutter!

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.
