Er, I merely pointed out that we were having a reasonable discussion on who might fit best where and RocknRolla accused me of nit picking but then did exactly that and went all in saying Shaul was garbage. I knocked no-one, it's inflammatory comments from people not wanting to have a decent discussion that make this forum such a crap place to chat about rugby and the clubs goings on. If you don't want to enter into discussing rugby like an adult and merely to slag posters off/make snide comment, why don't you just toodle off elsewhere?

Can't we just talk about rugby ffs. Are all players aside from Shaul injury free thus far, how do people see us playing with regards to Reynolds inclusion, getting the ball moving quicker and with more purpose as well as having more discipline is what I'd like to see. Not just addressing indiscipline at the PTB which costs us penalties but discipline in how we stick to the coaches plan, too often we've seen a bunch of headless chickens running around with no shape or organisation
I remember a home game (against Wigan I think) we were a few points down at HT after making inroads into the opposition lead late in the half, we came back out and went all mental and started forcing things straight from the first set, we lost possession and they scored, back into meltdown mode and they won easily in the end.
it's difficult for players under duress but hopefully a coach that can man manage and address how players adapt and maintain what they do when the chips are down (and also when we are winning) so that the team plays as a team, that they rally each other to continue doing what they know they can do, will see us improve a small amount that can turn close losses into wins. On the individual side, can't wait to see what Reynolds will bring, his dynamism is evident and hopefully there's someone on his shoulder when he makes a break.

After listening to the interviews by BH and what I've read on the things he has said it certainly appears he is addressing discipline in all areas even within the training, he seems also to be very thorough in his planning by all accounts. He already spoke about the importance of having systems in place and ingrained in the players so even when tired and concentration is low the structure remains in place so hopefully the total drop off and lack of organisation will be a thing of the past. He's also been quite vocal about it being a team first mentality too.
I'm fairly optimistic and looking forward to seeing how we go and feel we will certainly see improvements in our style of play and performance. I'm hopeful we might now see players in support and a fluid attacking line that's mobile rather than static when receiving the ball.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I’m sorry but you made yourself very unpopular in your prior guise and your argumentative style of reposts don’t help. You recently said of me, “ you add nothing to the forum and your posts are meaningless” Calm down, I appreciate you are an FC fan and your cycle holiday around France and Belgium in 2017 has to be lauded with Jack Harrison memorial in mind. Just try not to bite when other posters are niggling you.

And yet again you just couldn't leave it could you! So having a differing opinion that didn't meet with others approval warranted been constantly attacked including personally including by you hence my response. You made an inflammatory comment in the first instance and you got one back, yours and others asinine comments towards posters when it comes to disagreeing with an alternate viewpoint is what makes this forum so toxic. Yet you can't even see or admit that it is the puerile posts that make it such, and those posts do not add anything to the forum and ARE meaningless!
Stick to commenting on the rugby and everything is fine, why is that so hard for you and others to understand, or is it that you simply want to cause ructions and force people off the forum when you don't agree because you can't have a reasoned discussion?

He really wasn't though was he ? The form Tony showed during our 13 game winning streak was unreal, the only reason Briscoe got moved back to fullback was because of Blacklock retiring. In fact Briscoe was tried on the wing first but was terrible there so Tony got moved there because there was nobody else and it significantly weakened our team.

I have often said those games in that run are some of the best full back performances I have personally seen for FC at the Kcom. Motu's problem was the same for me as that of Richard Whiting and now to a lesser extent Jake Connor; he could play well in too many positions and his utility value far outweighed his need to play in one place. .
