But you don't comment on every post, pretending to to know everything about rugby and the come out with over the top statements and nonsense.

You are misunderstanding what essentially was 3 very good displays (Wire away, Leeds at home and Wigan at home) in side surrounded by some fairly average players. As mentioned, not good enough to lace Fonua's boots.
Adam Dykes was better then Matt Head.
All about personal choices, that's what forums are for and putting forward why, and yet Dave K immediately sought to just wade in and have a pop and focus on how many games I go to as the yardarm with respect to having a valid voice. And yes, Dykes is/was better than Sneyd too but both he and Head just didn't play many games. As I said, I respect was MF did for us last season but my points still stand with respect to Crooks, not fit to lace his boots is just silly. Crooks was far and away the best centre in SL that year.
people getting far too hot under the coller over other people's choices/viewpoints and having a go at posters is just dumb and what puts many off from even bothering.

Here you go again, accusing other posters of something which you do on a regular basis.

Good point, he ran great lines too, I think he scored 4 trys in a match once for us too

To be honest, he doesnt reply to every post. He posts things for dramatic effect, which he has already admitted to, and several posters jump on it like its a competition who can insult him first. A bit silly really, as thats exactly what he wants. If, like myself, you dont like what he posts, dont read it. I dont bother blocking people, i just look at the posters name and realise that the post will contain a load of rhubarb, and just scroll on. What I do find rather irksome, is the several replies to the troll post, often from users, like yourself, whose posts are often fair and reasonable. If everyone left him alone, he would dissapear. The responses to his posts are like a family and friends to him. He is obviously lacking something in the real world to resort to coming on a message board where all he gets is abuse. Catholic School upbringing perhaps?

Tickle was a great player for our club, that's not in question. Would he get selected in the back row in front of Ellis, Mini, Manu (either of them)? Doubtful IMO.
For me Fitzgibbon was metronomic. Hardly mad a mistake.
