Some of the stats on bmm and few others make interesting reading. Our pack without Cooper and Dc is average.

BMM isn't a true prop. He doesn't do the heavy stuff up the middle. Just the barnstorming run stuff down the right quarter.
In realistic terms he's an impact back rower.

He is capable of doing those big minutes though - he certainly did at Salford. I think Currie & BMM starting back row with Hughes at 13 could work well. Leaving Philbin, Clark, Sita/Tasi plus ANO on the bench. Hughes for all his virtues doesn't quite have the attacking threat for me of a top SL back rower.

I'd agree though, we do need another big bopper in the middle to come off the bench. Teams generally start with their best two props on the field however, so keeping one of Hill or Cooper on the bench to start could hand the opposition an early advantage?

BMM isn't a very good rugby player in my opinion. He's just big.

Bmm is only good 5 yards out and with a small guy in front of him. Too lazy and work shy, Currie since coming back has been very poor as well.


Realistically Currie needs to ease himself back in slowly and we shouldn't really be expecting top quality performances from him yet.

Exatly. It's a miracle he is back playing. If he can recapture the pre-injury form we have one of the best 2nd rowers in the comp.

He’s still got the brain and the skill, but it would be unfair to expect him to ever have that pre-injury turn of pace again. He can be very creative though and if we ever decide to go with a ball playing loose again I’d like to see what he could do there.

I'd like to see that too. He has sublime hands and vision.

Anyone else getting a bit disillusioned?
Rubbish passes and general lack in leadership skills. I wonder whether he is playing injured as he offloads the ball as soon as he gets it, as if to avoid being tackled.

Either that or he’s fed up of being marked to death and flattened every play. We are easy to coach against, shut down the Austin show and it’s up to Clark to do it all himself.
