How come Big Sam has fallen out of favour. I know he was not completely fit but he never did anything wrong when he was on the field all be it for 10-15 mins. Is he playing reserve grade to increase his fitness? Because at least when he played he had a bit of aggression about him.

Dowes, Cusack, Thacks, Maloney all ahead of him , that's all. IMO.

According to Wilf he has been going well in the reserves.

Funny, isn't it? When Agar played him it was controversial, and now he isn't playing it's being questioned.
A lot of people did see it as controversial, but i thoght it was a logical move. Why fly a player half way round the world to not play him. Personally i do think he brings something to the team, just his physical size brings 3 into the tackle. If he could offload when there on him it would make a real difference, But there is obviously something not right.
Think it time for a mix up we've got nothing to lose !
Thorman FB
berro /horne H/B's
Houghton / Lee Hookers
Washy LM
Nothing to lose now so let's make changes and see if there a short term solution until bodies start returning!

He tried a couple of times in the Cas game but nobody supporting him... go figure

Its just like when we had kearney in the team, its as if most aussies are that 2 or 3 steps infront when it comes to things like that and we cant read the game off them.

Supporting the man is just simple basic stuff and we neglect to do it. Watch Saints/Leeds Hudds etc this season there is always someone about to recieve a ball if it is popped out. They always have the option and wemay have the option 1 in 10 times.
That to me is down to lack of enthusiasm more than anything else.
Before you get on the back of broughton,
1, hes a centre, so playing on the wing isnt going to be the easiest of switches, as we saw with players out of position at huddersfield last year ie chris thorman, rod jensen
2, he is a part time player and works full time 5 days a week so has had little time so far to get to fit in after only one game, this week he should be stronger after more time training
3, he has the potential to be a great player, he played in a first team friendly at the beginning of the year and got a hat-trick for leeds.
If the current players havent been doing the job then give someone with the potential a chance, i agree hall is good on his day but as stated earlier he hasnt been on the form we would expect. Hopefully tonight Hull can put in the performance expected and wipe the smile off McRaes face!
