Sorry but, I disagree.
How many tackles does any full back make in a game compared to a no 9.
Most hookers are making in excess of 40 tackles a game and you just have to look at the upper bodies of most hookers compared to FB or SO etc.

As I said, I have no issue with with his passing skills but, just dont see him being capable of coping with the work load of the most demanding position in the team.

I agree with you on this and Finn would not be the answer either. Hopefully Moore will be staying and have a better run with injuries and disciplinary because we are nowhere near as good without him

I'll quote to you what our owner said to me on this forum and you can take out of it what you want.

Did he tell you who would be paying for the floodlight upgrading and the extensive concreting on the north stand terracing, both of which needs to be carried out before the new season starts at what you can imagine will be at a considerable cost.

Floodlights? Apart from the pitch they're the best thing about Belle Vue.

And that tells you everything!

The floodlights are near the end of their life, below the required lux requirement, in need of bulb replacement in numbers and currently without means of lowering due to the position of the stands. Not good at all!

Yes chiz you are correct from what I hear the cost of doing this could get us at least three top class players. That's why I have always been in the move from BV camp. Turd polishing every season is expensive and a huge drain on the club and most of all a total waste of money.

As far as the floodlights are concerned I don't think I can remember a time when more than 75% have worked. Also heard the bulbs are very old technology, very inefficient and short lasting and cost a fortune to replace.

Eh? Why would he tell me that, when it was a comment about how much we get from Sky. Anyway you saw the quote, so the answer is no.

Maybe the talk of floodlights should be part of a different thread.

I remember when they went up in I think 1991 they were very bright.

Should we be looking at if we do get the green light to fully re vamp the ground to have the lights built into the stand roofs like in a lot of more modern stadia rather than on the tall pylons

Why not ask Carter to put the moon on a stick, should offer ample lighting.

I can't imagine he would, I just used your post to highlight the financial problems' facing the club, the cost of all the work has to be met from somewhere maybe the landlord might contribute who knows, one thing for sure if he doesn't the club will have to find the money from somewhere and the obvious answer to that is as PB says at the expense of bringing in 3 top signings.
Anyway not wanting to be accused of derailing the thread Scott Moore has had his legs slapped and is not leaving the club, not this time anyway.
