Yea, I should have in luded that sita made some big runs and hits. I'd also have Wood over Musgrove. I think Bateman was ok last night. He isn't performing as we all hoped but he did everything that Holroyd did and a little bit more so he does improve our team. Don't see Holroyd getting that offload away.

Let's not go down the butler road. He's nowhere near our standards. The last match he played for us he was gassing after 5 mins and looked so out of shape.

I watched him play for Wigan in their Academy Semi against our Academy at the end of season play-off.

He was a substitute and scored a try in that game.

Wigan won but were disqualified for using too many interchanges.

Yea, I'm not sure why I thought he signed last season but for some reason I did until you pointed it out. It's still pathetic that he's not posted as a player and doesn't appear in any stats on the SL site

Those Musgrove stats are interesting. He is definitely not a bad player. But if you are playing <30 minutes per game, as a senior pro, you should really be blasting the opposition off the park when you are on the field, and I don't think he does that. Otherwise you are just getting someone else to do your job for you.

I've been disappointed with Musgrove and voiced it, but sitting back and thinking about it he's not actually doing a bad job.
He comes on, takes the ball up well and defends well. But i still think he plays low minutes and I think he's a bit lazy at times with little things he does.
But he's doing a job and letting Vaughan and Harrison etc get rest during games so helps avoid putting too much work on others.
Yates has been superb for that, really really happy with his signing.

I think that's why I struggle to get too exercised about it. Musgrove isn't a guy who is going to come on, give away two penalties or knock on near our own line. He averages one error in every four games and concedes one penalty in every three.

What I'd like to see is him playing longer minutes in Hull/Cas/London type games because we shouldn't have to burn out our top guys by making them playing 60-70 minutes in those sorts of games.
