He wouldn't be at Warrington as a 13 - TS simply wants a prop playing there.
I'd much prefer it if we had a ball playing 13.
I suppose he'd be a Ben Currie type second rower rather than a Benny one.

Liked Wedge though. Possibly playing a style that was a few years ahead of his time.

not really... if grix was fit, he would be 13.... smith is playing prop like players there because he has no others.

the 13 role, as a specialist position, seems to have died away.

Back on thread

Not interested in stats. I simply watch the game.

I'd rate him as good.
He's not exactly "ripped up trees", but then again, hasn't shirked any responsibity. Doesn't break enough tackles. He's just a more agile version of Steve Molloy, who again, fitted that description.

Needs to improve more. As a consequence, so will the team.

...as did John Fieldhouse.

Too good of a player that we just couldn't utilise, watching on as his passes often found touch, as there wasn't a 1/4 line player clever enough to shadow him.
He left us and went on to become one of the best forwards of his time, and was awarded GB caps, and put us out of the CC with one such pass! for us just another scapegoat.

An offload has to be controlled from a call from the support player. Otherwise it is just a loose ball.

Some daft comments being made here.

That's what I was thinking. Blaming a none-existent back up runner, rather than the chap in possession, for an offload to no-one seems a little strange.

Fair point.

I wonder if Alfie Langer had to call for a pass from Andrew Gee every single time!?
