Cookson/Hobson : Thu Apr 23, 2009 9:20 pm  

Anybody else feel sorry for Cookson having to be water carrier whilst Hobson gets to play despite putting ZERO effort in? Hobson gave away at LEAST 8 points tonight through a high tackle on the last play and missed tackles because he is too lazy to bend his back an tackle properly. Got to be dropped for next game he stunk tonight and its not the 1st time either!!

We need to Find a Matt Sturm or a Simon Knox before we can axe Hobson, I don't disagree his performances have been poor but without hoim we have ZERO agression i would say that is quite obvious and its is to the opposition as well.

When was the last time Hobson used his aggression in a useful/positive way though?? He just gets wound up when he's tired and then starts giving away silly penalties for high tackles etc because he is too lazy to bend his back. I'd rather have enthusiasm than Hobbo's 'aggression'. If Hobson had the attitude of Meekin he would be fantastic at this level. I wasn't bowled over by Cooky last time but he deserves a chance instead of Hobson at the moment.

On a good few occasions in the Widnes game IIRC. And let's not forget that Cooky proved to be an unfit penalty machine on his last outings.

We found that when he was at Halifax. If he is on the bench he just gets wound up and by the time he comes on he is a bit of a liability. We got around it by starting him for a few games, but he soon looses his head. To be honest I think everyone has seen his best.

That said I am touching some wood quickly, as comments made like that come back to bite you on the @rse and we play you very soon.

I missed them, I saw many missed tackles though, but somebody said he had hurt his shoulder.

Cooksons coming back from injury, he didnt miss any tackles in his last game which was Fev away. He just wasnt on long enough to do anything.

Cookson looks in best shape deserves a chance, hopefully fitness will show through for him. Need more impact on the field not Hobson on one man mission to give games away!
