So what happened, Dixon gave the impression he was going to play him then didnt include him in the 19.

I think its wrong that theyre denying him his chance he obviously came to play first team and he could easily have gone on loan somewhere else, or probably have stayed at saints and got a game given the state of their left side. The lad must be really frustrated.

We need to score ponts, saturday was a great defensive effort but we offered nothing going forward, particularly out wide, the lad has a great points tally with the ball in hand and the boot.

Why not give him a go?

nothing like nepotism

what he says is true , he could have gone on loan elsewhere but the offer was regular first team rugby which has obviously not been produced , how will we ever know if he will improve if he isn`t played , as I said , he could have played in our reserves for all the good it has done him

I don't think John Dixon is silly enough to keep him in the reserves if he was deserving of a first team place, do you?

I don't know. Dixon seems to be a good coach. He must be, since he's managed to do wonders down there and so I would assume that his decision making is sound, although coaches do have their hangups. I did notice in this week's RL press that Tyrer was noted for a 'big hit' on one of our reserve guys so maybe he is battling his defensive demons. Who knows. I just hope he gets his chance at first grade because otherwise aside from any fringe benefits there may be in Bridgend, he may as well have stayed here. Perhaps Dixon presently sees him as having a role with your reserve guys? Helping them adjust to SL level? Although it sounds like they're doing just fine anyway given their beating of Leeds and almost beating of us!

Still no spot for Tyrer, is he injured ?

I saw Ste Tyrer play for there reserves yesterday at Craven Park .....and to be honest he didn't play well enough to be in a Super League Side at the moment ....he was outplayed by both the Rovers centres for the day and neither one of them are anywhere close to earning a full time contract never mind a place in the robins starting line up yet.

Tyrer isnt in the first team because Duggan isnt fit at the moment. The teams moves at the moment in training involveded Duggan & Tyrer.

Dixon said the team would suffer without Duggan & Tyrers connection in thos moves, and Tyrer is inexperienced with the others, so thats why Dalle & Hannay have continued in their places.

How will a full back and centre replace two centres?
