Not a move, as such, but the ball to Magraff was a corker. Performance wasn't much better when watching from the touchline, I can assure you

Well after that try i thought eh up we may have a chance and the rest is history. Our forwards were of no use whatsoever yesterday ,i could'nt believe it when i saw Armistead dumped on his backside by an umpa lumpa ,it should have been the other way round plus our players just stood and watched as they scored 1 of their last tries ,dont know whether it was because they were knackered or could'nt be bothered either way its not good and im not surprised they chanted easy and we've got Penky you've got porky ,speaking of Penky , has he resigned for them as thats the impression i got from fax fans

It's simply playing to a players main strength - he could prove useful in others ways, but dare I say if he'd have got the ball in the first half when he had the chance to, we may have posted more than 6 points. Nanyn is the type of player we could do with, a player who can score tries when given the ball, he just didn't get the ball in the best positions. Also, didn't he make Mort's try?

No chance about it he did not want the ball did a good job of avoiding it.Only wanted it once or twice near try line.As I say he will not be cheap you heed more creative players I`d send him back.

Not officially, but I believe it's a done deal.

Thought we mis-used Armistead yesterday. Again.

He's a centre, why should he go infield looking for the ball where he will be useless. Get the ball out wide, set a move/ball up or whatever and get him on the end of it. If we had creative players maybe he'd get more ball. We need a good 6.

[quote="DParky"]Have to admit, Hilly had his least effective game of the season, but he wasn't alone.

Disagree. Took the ball up more than any other forward, never got knocked backwards, possibily 1 missed tackle? and worked his socks off for 50 mins. Who else can you say that about from yesterdays team. Very difficult to be effective when your stood behind your own sticks most of the game. Thought Watson did well and Morrison tried, but the rest soon gave up the ghost.

====================================
I think we mis-used all the forwards yesterday Asda need some trolley collecters

The trouble with our pack is strength and power they cant put people down they are mauling around in the tackle around the shoulders ect
allowing offloads and they allowed Fax to play the ball quickly constantly putting us on the backfoot also whenever we ran forward they where pushed back to easy it was sad to watch not sure who the conditioner
is at the club but our players are lacking in two areas upper strenght
and leg power.....
PACE, POWER & STRENGTH three areas we are lacking badly in

I agree with you re your pack. To me it sum's it up when Taylor is on the bench & Rowley brings him on after 30 mins to presumably tighten up the defence.... way after our horse had bolted.

From what ive seen of Taylor, he's a tackling machine, one of the best Ive seen in our division, he aint an impact player to bring off the bench. Look who we had yesterday, Big Frank, Said,Roberts & Gleeson. All of them impact players.

In one.

You were peppering us up the middle arund the PTB and we were crying out for someone to plug the gaps.

He did not want it when it came to him ,you need good ,creative players instead of him.
