I did not go to Salford but i would have no problem if he played again. Last time I saw him play was in the reserves when tupou made his brief return to action. He looked a better player than tupou that evening and he went well. To me its his lack of pace and general sharpness that is his weak point. However he is a big strong kid with a good attitude. I am no expert but I would have thought his future may be more of a second rower.
However if Minns, Lineham and Gaskill play and we havnt anyone else better right now then the club must be in a mess
Minns is a disaster, Lineham is an unfunny joke.
Gaskell I feel sorry for, I really believe he wants to do well but no longer can, however that doesn't help us.
I can't bring myself to watch most games we lose, life is to short. But I think we all know that when a team gets destroyed on the flanks the problem is not just with the backs. Others are clearly not pulling their weight, and I know some won't like this but I think Lino is a big offender. I also suspect that Miller had one of his poorer games and this also added to the problems.
I say this because the stats suggest the forwards generally did their work in defence.
I may be wrong but I base this on games I've seen, even in the games we've won we have always looked vulnerable on the flanks.
Finally those thinking Jowitt will save the day are likely to be dissapointed. As an attacking FB and under the high ball Jowitt is first class, but his defence, especially near the line remain very weak IMHO.
