Anthony maria on a months loan from catalans.

Re: Stop Blaming the Manager : Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:53 pm  

I understand there will be another loan signing announced tomorrow.

Someone told me on Tuesday night at Primary RL matches that it was Kyle Amor from Saints... Doubt it somehow.

Re: Stop Blaming the Manager : Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:05 am  

Amor might be a good fit for us, I did here that rumour last week but again maybe from the same dreamer? But he appears to be way down the order at saints. We do need some size up front quickly as a good chunk of our salary cap & pack weight is sat in the stands.

In HDM Sheens stated losing Addy was a big loss because of his versatility. The fact that he sees Addy as a big loss is worrying, when most people I've spoken to think losing Addy is a bonus.

Addy has been awful it’s one injury I’m not bothered about

Re: Stop Blaming the Manager : Fri Apr 26, 2019 12:36 pm  

Regarding Addy. Just a genuine question; By my own admission I'm no scholar of the game but I think I can identify when a back has a bad game Eg bad defensively, can't convert opportunities or susceptible under a high ball but I find it difficult to gauge how a forward is performing. Eg When everyone was raving about Robbie Mulhern I couldn't see what was distinguishing him from the rest.

Any subtle pointers to look out for in my next game...?

He’s an injury away from a regular place in a team that has a good shot at silverware, i assume. And then there’s the commute/need to move. He is ooc this year, though, so I guess he might want to put himself in the shop window. Signed a 3-year with Saints in November 2016. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/37978048 He’s young enough to play a couple more years, I guess (32 in May).

There is no secret to it. Basically, is he physically dominant? You can talk all you like about the wrestle, finding your front, offloading, playing at the line etc etc. But ateotd if you don't make metres and you don't hit hard you can't be a great prop. Some guys might have more strings to their bow. Some might be good ball players, some might have good footwork, some might play for 60 or 70 minutes. But what all the good ones have in common is that they bend the line and make ground.

When confidence is low and you want the manager to come out with an epic Churchillian speach Sheen's comes out and down plays the importance of the Leeds game ffs. Stating there's plenty more games left, its only Saints after that but not to worry Tim as there'll be plenty of games left after that aswell.

IMO he's too laid back for a relegation battle, when harsh words are needed he's softly softly.
