Wigan, Leeds and Saints usually have lots of good young players knocking on the door so a lot of other young players never get a look in. A lot of our Academy players who played 50 or so first team starts in the first team would never have had that in Wigan, Leeds or Saints, they would have been moved on to another club (like Warrington).

I await a stormer from Vaughan this weekend but, against one of the weakest sides this season, that should be agiven.

Bugger i forgot what prodigal meant ha ha, I'll say champion instead

I await just an average ground grass stomp at this time.
I’ve been getting stompings from more circles on here, than a Dorset field on the summer solstice.
Vaughan has been bang average on the best of his performances.

I don’t get the love in for him this season.

Without taking the bait, what’s the issue? 1300 meters at over 8m per carry. 280 tackles missing only 15 (5.35%)Compare that with Harrison, who is great by the way, 1100 at 7.2. 310 tackles missing 19 (6.12%).

He’s been performing better than the next best prop in our team, I won’t waste my time looking at Bullock, Musgrove or Philbin, because it’s self evident that he’s our best prop. If everyone performed to his standard, this team would be in far better shape.

It’s a bit of an irrational and irrelevant take to suggest that he’s “bang average”. He’s not. And that’s plain and simple.

That's what I was getting at in as many words!
