two tries at batley !!!! speed around the play the ball oh and you are an intelligent guy the two comments wernt linked ..Durbin at prop i know i come on here to post comments but unlike some am not stupid...

Although durbin at prop instead of hobson well at least we would get some gametime out of him!!!!!

Two tries at Batley that were both support play IIRC? He has no leadership qualities and speed around the play the ball only comes when your forwards are laying platforms, hitting their front first, and we aren't doing that so it makes Durbin in-effective IMO.

I like Durbin and would like to see him take on the line and be a running halfback, but he hasn't shown this in some games.

durbin isnt allowed to dictate because that is wattos job everything has to go through him???? sometimes thats good and other times well you know??
durbin has talent and good line speed he has to be allowed sometime!

Who 'dictated' when Watto went off injured? (against Barrow, I think it was)

If you think that a prospective Leigh player makes his mind up not to play for us by reading this forum you are mad. Also Alan the whole team were in shock by the site of Watto flat out with a gash to his head and play not being stopped. At that point in the game there were some strange decisions being made by the ref and the boys found it hard to react. Maybe we should send the team to Afganistan for some pre season hardening up. We should not look for single reasons or people for the way the team play. There are loads of points to take into account.
I'm just glad I dont support Widnes or Bradford.

My comment was about an individual not being allowed to dictate play, and the fact that there was a distinct lack of volunteers for the role, when Watto went off. methinks we have been lucky he has steered clear of injury! (fingers crossed!)

well i for one would have durbin somewhere in my 1 to 17, probably on the bench for impact, we need players with speed who can make something happen, i think given the time and support durbs could do that, as for all this stuff about rowley's ego, well i don't know him personally and never wanted himn as coach, but on saying that he is not doing to bad so far, excluding last thursday. all coaches will have their fav players, but for the good of the club i say pick durbs, at least till we get somebody as good if not better.
