Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Quote ="Bullseye"Positives – He can kick 40-20s, pass superbly, back up very well, occasionally hit hard in defence and boot conversions from the touchline under extreme pressure. He will put his hand up when others go missing. He’ll give 100%.
Negatives – He is infuriatingly inconsistent, often within the same 80mins. For every killer pass he can throw one into touch. For every 40-20 one can go directly out. For every big tackle there is a feeble shoulder grab. For every touchline conversion under pressure he’ll miss a sitter. />
He’s be criminally misused at Bradford. He’s a backrow forward who’s been forced to play as a playmaker. As a result none of his skills have been fully formed because he’s trying to do too much. He’s sacrificed a lot of his career by trying to do everything and filling holes made thanks to our awful recruitment and off field mismanagement. It’s testament to the bloke that he’s been with us this long.
I said he needs a move. Wherever he goes he needs to be in a side where he can concentrate on playing in the backrow and not be the “go to guy” for everything.'" />
I don't disagree with any of that, but his inconsistency is what makes him a liability. He ain't the first and won't be the last. You can only get away with being badly inconsistent if you'r as good as, say, Shaun Johnson. Unfortunately for Addy, the good stuff to bad stuff ratio has tipped in a negative favour this year - albeit it might be because of several mitigating factors.
/>
And his defence has always been terrible.

You could be right we signed Blair to play second row and he's played stand off for two years

Agree with everything here, for me he isnt a 13 either. Personally I thought he looked his most dangerous playing left edge second row for Scotland in the world cup ability with ball and strong running. Would have loved to see him play there for us

Spot on Bullseye.

To quote Jimmy Lowes, Danny is a, "really good rugby player". He's [i:k5k3914gnot[/i proving it. I say 'almost' because he has had his moments, even in that position. Criminally misused doesn't tell the half of it. New club, new regime and a new Danny Addy - just what he needs imo.
