I think he has lost some weight during the off season which may have affected his effectiveness in the collision. On top of that he recently became a dad so i suspect he has a slightly different mindset to what he had last year.
That said i thought he had his best game of the season against Bradford......and then promptly got dropped!!!

Didn't know that.
Its his speed that worries me a little, seems a little slow to get going. Hopefully he will come good again because he has the skills.

That leaves Taylor, Wheeldon, Watts and Cook to fight it out for two spots each week and the odd occasion maybe only one spot. At the moment Wheeldon and Cook are in the driving seat, but one bad game and they'll be out for the side for 6 weeks. Thats the Morgan way.
There is no doubt in my mind that Taylor is being dumped on in much the same way Hally is. But go back a few weeks and the same can be said of Cook and Wheeldon.
Frustrating isnt it. The annoying thing is that if the right side and tactics were used this weekend then i dont think we would have too many problems beating Hull. As it is, Morgan is spending all week devising ways of dealing with Hulls left hand side attack and picking a team accordingly as opposed to picking a team to get at them and giving them the tactics to do it.

Worrying signs.
Our right side defence has been fairly terrible all season (was Newton doing a lot of the direction here?) so it's hardly likely to be cured in a week. Matt Cook has done excellently going forward but I don't think he's managed to shore up this area and at times his goal line defence is a concern.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

no so sure he was dropped, he came off with a suspected broken wrist that required scans etc. not too sure how fit he was for the salford game but was back in the squad for wigan and will get a game before too long I would think.

He was fit enough to play in the reserves.

Morgan is easing him in IMO. Scott's a level headed kid and knows he will learn a lot from the experianced guys around him. Im not concerned about the fact a new deal hasnt been announced as there is plenty of time for a new deal to be signed. He is one for the future and im sure the club will do the right thing.
