Converting the west to the promised land

Re: Half Backs : Wed Apr 19, 2017 6:58 pm  
I don't see the point of playing Abdul whatsoever. He's hop stepping back across the river to his preferred choice at the end of the season. Now to rot after Kelly has penned another deal.
Him and Addy are clones in my eyes.
Against the weaker championship sides i'd experiment to get the combination that clicks the most. We've got some talented backs in Quinlan, Moss, ZDC, even our very own product in Harris, as mentioned above.
My opinion, but I can't stand the fact we've got this FC product that were nurturing.

That's how I see it.although you can't blame the lad for landing here and he always seems to try.its a project we don't need and a real class half back we are crying out for. It's not an anti fc thing for me anymore it's just he ain't a half back

Stop Pi55ing up my back and telling me it's raining !!!!

Re: Half Backs : Wed Apr 19, 2017 9:21 pm  
Our half back problem isn't just Abdul, against Featherstone Ellis was woeful. Neither are what we need moving forward, but until we have a clear alternative partnership it is what it is.
ZDC may be the answer at 7 but we don't have anyone (including Quinlan) who will strengthen the team by moving into the half's.

Re: Half Backs : Wed Apr 19, 2017 9:31 pm  
Again I agree but Ellis alongside a running half back with proper skills and game management will go a long way to getting us up..Abdull in the half's ends in failure come mpg. Just my opinion and if proved wrong I'd be happy as can be.

I think Abdull's running game is his biggest asset. Left edge back row for me, looks a natural replacement for Blair.

By the time a player gets into a professional team, he (or she) will have been tried at different positions in their junior/school/amateur teams.
With the exception. of Quinlan we don't have anyone with experience at a higher level who has played at 6, and moving Quin will weaken the team at fullback.

I'm all for giving people a chance to prove themselves, but throwing someone untried into a league game is not the place to experiment.
Maybe if Sheens suspects he's got a possibility in the squad we could ask York to give them a chance to show what they can do,very much the same as Hull are doing with Abdul at Rovers.

Re: Half Backs : Thu Apr 20, 2017 5:33 am  
I'm not sure on our 6/7 either but I can't help thinking if we get a damaging 2nd row and another prop who can bend the line and get a fast ptb our halves maybe good enough. There was a young half in aus last year Hastings I think who I've not seen this year, aggressive bugger for a half and a decent kicking game would be an option if we look at bringing another in. Maybe our coach already has everything planned out.
