Did nobody listen to both Pearson and Radford recently when they both went out of their way to mention that Shaul featured heavily in their future plans?

I didnt read to much into it either way. Not much of a game to be able to. At 6.1 and 94kgs id disagree at too small. His 94kgs are very ripped carries no extras. speed hard to tell. When made the intercept I thought same but replay noticed widdop had ten yrds head start on him and he was always looking for his wing. did notice that when he took a couple of straight runs at defenders he bent the line and popped offloads out. Hard game to analyse a player though. Odd game really

I agree , so if he is staying who are the players we're having to offload to get this "new outlook"? The ones going apart from Lineham are model pros so are our issues all down to Lineham's disruptive influence? Or are some more on their way?

I don't believe the weights that are attributed to players half the time. My eyes told me he's pretty skinny. Ripped no doubt but no real bulk in there. Also interesting that he's a kg lighter than ben crook if weights are to be believed and he struggled with the physicality in the centres

Ben crooks doesnt remotely carry his muscle. Check his twitter profile pic ive seldom seen a player carry so little body fat. Combined with a 6.1 height hes not skinny by any means. Looked defensively ok too. Had a lot of work today.

My only concern with him is his defense. I'd read that he winces in the collision and needs to toughen up. I'll wait and see how he gets on before I lose any sleep over it though.

I'd still like another back and a hooker. Carlos T. may well end up in the halves before the end of next season.

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the (Dark) Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Can't remember his exact words TBH but my takeaway from the interview was that it was more about matchdays than off the field. So players with different skills/roles rather than different levels of professionalism.
