The Hole : Sun Apr 15, 2018 5:33 pm
The hole were in is much bigger than I initially thought. The only thing worth keeping us in SL is to retain our youngsters in my eyes. If it wasn't for them I genuinely wouldn't care if we went down this time round.Gaskell is aboslutely dreadful but yet will get accommodated to, no matter what. What attributes does he have for a SL half back or Centre? NONE Throws hospital passes and throws silly passes out wide on the 2nd tackle which results in us been put in touch, twice!!! when we had tackles to spare!!! Cant break a tackle and weak in defence. Worryingly have him for another 2/3 years.
Brough - hates to lose which cant be said for alot of other players. However, while he is still in our team we will get nothing from referees because they hate him with a passion and 50/50 calls will always go against us.
Adam Walne - dreadful signing and why he was picked before Wakeman today I will never know. He offers absolutely nothing and an utter waste of a signing.
Rankin - Not good enough at all in either the halves or full back. Unfortunately we have him for another 2 years.
Aaron Murphy - No longer a winger but better at centre. But even still, hes never going to make a break or put his winger in with decent handling. We may as well move him to the 2nd row as all hes does is run hard.
The problem is all these players will be here next year which means our attack and game management is unlikely to change. If we start next season with Gaskell and Rankin as our halves I will not be renewing my season card.
Matty English by far our best player today and deserves to keep his place in the squad going forward.
Bring in Jake Wardle next week at Centre and move Turner to the halves.
