Mort should be in team plays with plenty of heart for the club and he scores tries n goals.

i really cant believe what i am readng

hobson was the reason that we got beat by barrow= if he had played the barrw forward wouldnt have ran all over us in the 2nd half

mort needs a good run of form in one position instead of being swiched about or not even getting a game so he can gain confidence and play on that

donlan is a centre and always will be and i cant believe someone has put that he should play 6= were do you think that up lol

stewart isnt a winger end of lol

and finally stanton does really well at clearing the ball from acting half back early in the sets and sets the pace of the set by getting a quick play the ball

Where did he play at Saints?

Donlan and Higson are both injured.

Si - Mort has had a continuous run at full back and, although I think we do need to find a spot for him in the team (probably on the wing), he has been making too many similar mistakes, game after game. Donlan is injured, as I say, but he is being wasted at centre as his defensive capabilities aren't being utilised completely (he can't tackle them all on his own) while he's seeing somewhere in the region of bugger all of the ball.

Still, with the number of injuries we've got, we'll be doing well to have 17 players on Thursday who will hopefully make up for yesterday's game.

Higson is out for a few weeks by the looks of things, had his leg in a brace at the airport today.

Now here's the scenario at the next training session.........

NK " Sorry Ian but you,re dropped for Thursday "
IM " Why's that Neil, thought i've played pretty well recently? "
NK " Because we've signed Stuart, he's costing us a lot of money and we need to play him at fullback.
IM " Why? "
NK " Because our money would of been better off invested elsewhere, but we made a slight mess of things, plus you've got time on you're side, and more to the point Kelly's Eye thinks so. "
IM " Fair point Neil, if Kelly's Eye thinks so, then that's good enough for me."

Getting a bit worried for Adam - he seems to be picking up a few nasty injuries lately.

Quite right Keith.....I like this kid, maybe a bit biased because i was involved in his development, and i make no secret of it! It's a good point you make, and one worth consideration......Not seen him at the paper shop recently, so not had the the chance to speak to him, then again he,s an Electrician, as i am.........If you read this and you're out of work Morty, give me a bell.

and how long ago was that and how old wat tony when he was on the wing

time always catches up with players and it has done with tony

Doesn't happen often, but I completely agree with you. That said, his defence is sound enough for him still to warrant a place in the squad and, let's be honest, our defence is utter bobbins out wide at the minute. Sick and tired of us conceding the same tries, over and over again, where the winger or centre is drawn inside to an opposition second rower/centre and is allowed to offload to an overlapping winger.

team for thursday. ahem, some new players - get rid of the DEAD WOOD !
We have far too many players, who you know, that when they recieve the ball, are not going to 'make a break' or throw out a super pass/dummy.
At the moment we have a side that looks 'truly awful'. The only rugby I've enjoyed this season, is the 1st half against Barrow. We probably won't get relegated, but we are not capable of 'thrashing' anyone, but we have/will get thrashed ourselves. It's very bleak being a Leigh fan right now, new ground or not !
