But if every player did the same then the shape of the side should fall apart. He needs to learn to be more disciplined in his positioning, and instead give the pivot(s) a rollocking for not spreading the ball out wide rather than risk leaving a gaping hole at a turnover.

He would'nt get any ball he never does they only seem to pass to Madens wing .

Then he shouts himself hoarse until the ball does come his way. He can't disrupt the team's shape purely because he's forgotten what the ball feels like.

He put his hand up on more than one occasion and when Donlan did'nt pass to him deep in our half he must have thought "bugger this i 'll find the ball myself"its blatently obvious he is not used properly and this needs addressing otherwise whats the point being on the pitch to scream and shout for the ball just to be ignored after all its a team sport but some players like to keep the ball to themselves.

On the subject of the Maden/Stanton wing debate.......

That little kick to Madens corner. How many times has it failed in the last 3 games? 10, 12? It's become embarrassing.

It has no more chance of working than I have of playing netball for the Faroe Islands yet appears to be our only planned move on their 10.

Derek Pyke used to get similar stick from the terrace for spilling the ball 2 or 3 times a game. The fact that he was 10 years ahead of his time for a ball playing prop was lost on many.

Well said ... a lot of our fans only appreciated Pykey when he moved to Widnes.
