Poor , all 17 anonymous , the flurry of trys at the end of the first half killed the game off ! The coaching situation is ludicrous now and needs addressing ! What a talent Rangi Chase is the guy tore us apart and he must feel invincible right now ! Poor, disappointed. I could go on for another 1000 words but won't .

I dis-agree, against KR we had Marriot and Davidson making their debuts, it was very much backs against the wall, and i agree with youngsters being given the chance but throwing them too early week in and week out in superleague will probably only see them going backwards, Look at Kevin Penny....



He was given a spot because we were low on numbers, Injuries and Suspension have forced our hand to throw Anderson back in, Ok its clear for everyone to see he isnt match fit, but there is only one way to get match fitness, and hopefully soon it will pay dividends

"Cometh the hour cometh the man" ?



But, yes I tend to agree that too much pressure too soon can cause trouble for young developing players - even so, certainly for Crusaders I'd have kept the same teamsheet if I could

Quote ="Prestwich Red"I can not for the life see why Anderson was rushed into the team. OK he scored a try on Sunday but FFS even I could have scored that. Is it because he is on big money and we have to justify that. There are a few in the team the so called big signings that should be ashamed of the performances they have put ">in.'" Now I agree, Anderson shouldn't have been rushed back into the side and, probably, isn't match fit, but he showed some great athleticism and pace to score that try. Which indicates, when he's match fit we have a great player on our hands. Like somebody else said, maybe the best way to get him match fit is to get him in the team and playing games. Of the so called big signings, do you think Wild hasn't performed, maybe Nero, or what about Patten. To me those three have given really good service so far. Granted, what the F&@k has happened to Feka, but Wild certainly runs his blood to water for the team and is definite improvement on Swain in attack. I suppose you could argue we have. roughly, at 50/50 success rate, Wild/Nero/Patten v Feka/Bailey/Anderson. Anderson and Gleeson, although I wouldn't class him as a big signing, could still prove to be successful. I'm not sure how to improve the quality of personnel within the side. There must be real trouble going on behind the scenes, it doesn't seem to matter what the club does, changes manager, changes players, the result is always the same. We the fans get let down. Maybe it's our fault, for not getting behind the team when times are tough.

Whilst I don't disagree entirely (and I do believe that you shouldn't change a winning team) most young forwards will tell you that there are two main differences between playing Academy and First Team football - one is the speed of the game and the other is the time it takes you to recover.



I'm all for throwing young lads in and they did a grand job for us but their ability to back-up week on week may well explain why Anderson, Feka et al have been called upon.



I still think we need to give Anderson half a dozen games before using him as (yet another) scape-goat though!

He is never going to get match fit if he doesn't even try to take the ball in and makes naff all attempt to tackle! He is lazy and looks like he is laughing all the way to the bank. Disgraceful!
