Yep, this left sided/right sided thing isn't as big of deal as people are making out. Both halfbacks used to play on both sides of the pitch back in the day.

Yep, but I don't believe skills hsve regressed to the point that halves can't play on both sides anymore. They're having to pass, tackle and step just like they had to years ago.

skills have massively declined for me, kids cant have proper positions until they are 12 as thats when the teams go to 13 and have the full rules to play with (im sure weve had this conversation before ), I mean some kids will excel anyway no matte what happened but in general the standard is no where near what it was (my view anyway)

Late in the day, but I can't help think that clubs are missing a trick when it comes to not showing games on the out league app.
I can't get over to the game tonight, but I'd be happy to pay £5/£10 to watch it on the Our League app - something that I've really enjoyed over the last few months.
Am I right in saying that Sky haven't picked up a game for tonight?

Drops Hanley who had a stormer last week in favour of Hastings who’s best position is in the halves in favour of playing Tommy and Smith together - a combination which doesn’t work.

You've just said what I was going to say. Why have your best half back paying at full back? Then drop the full back who's done pretty well considering......lam isn't fit for purpose. I just really think he has no idea. Is it any wonder we're struggling in attack and have no direction? Words fail me.

Honestly I don’t know what to say anymore. Broken record. The sooner he is gone the better.
