Turn it up more like

snowie you have to agree that jd has been very poor this year and playing him at 9 instead of davey is a kick in the balls for the young kid !



won't dis jd for the effort but is this a year too long? or move him in to the second row?

He meant Jase is taking the flack for the players he captains giving needless penalties.



I always thought JD was best when he bounces off tiring defenders, runs across the line putting runners away and runs wide looking for a winger to come inside him. At the moment it's 80 minutes of crash balls and tough tackling midfield that has never really been his forte. I'd personally use him as an impact player like we do Hendo.

in the pack ? agree

Yeah straight swap for a 2nd rower etc, we'll be winning 16-0 etc 25 minutes gone and JD comes on the pitch fresh as a daisy - wham! Bradford did a similar thing against us. Platt came in field, ran hard and straight at our tiring defence a few times. What I thought I saw was his enthusiasm turning the game.

he might not be playing as good as he has in past years but it doesn't make him a a scapegoat, penalty machine

get real

he still puts the effort in
