Oh, how we laughed

[marklaspalmas]

O'Loughlin has more try assists than any other forward in SL, but let's not let the facts get in the way.

Useless stat in the face of the evidence of his showings in an international jersey: solidish defence but prone to giving away penalties, offers nothing with ball in hand. But let's not let club bias get in the way of objectivity.

The last full series he played in was the one when we beat the Kiwis.

He was named man of the series.

Yet again, try having an original thought, rather than jumping on the "Lockers give away too many penalties" bandwagon.

When it comes to SL, he is not even in the top 25 of players who give penalties away.

No club bias here, just plain fact. Try facts sometime, they taste good.

Would that be the worst kiwi side ever to tour this country.
O'loughlin isn't an international class distributor of the ball, I think it's something we lack.Defensively good yes,good with ball in hand so-so.

Yummy

Good job we only have to go back 3 years for his last good game. aAgainst the worst Kiwis in living memory.

No bandwagon here. Last Wigan game I saw was 48 hours ago. O'Loughlin gave away three penalties on the trot. His side lost. He has a poor tackling technique which sees him take the opposition too high, too often. Daft really, as he is a good round-the-legs tackler.

No club bias here either. Finger lickin' good.

O'Loughlin has been injured for the WC, and the last 4 Nations.

It's not his fault that he hasn't had the chance to build on his last international performances.

Righto*. SO, leaving aside question marks over his defence, do you really think he could play pivot for England? First receiver, one side of the ruck, directing operations. I think not, which is why I dismissed his chances of playing as such in the 4N. He's just not that type of LF. The original point remains. We're short of play makers.










* I was going to type 'bloody sick-note too then'. To wind you up like.

[HappyDave]

Play-maker? What about Longy?

O'Loughlan is a good round-the-legs tackler??? Ay? When was his last tackle below voicebox height?

Who takes a blind bit of notice what you say, you think Jamie Peacock is a ###### player.

Errrrm, no he wasn't. I think you'll find that was Rob Burrow.

O'LOughlin also played for England last year, but yeah, whatever.

And?

I presume you are now going to regale me with a shedful of stats that show he was a useles liability in that game, who gave way 40 penalties, and contributed nothing apart from a few head tackles?

If not, then what's your point?

The point that O'Loughlin's international career has been stalled by injury in the last few years does not become invalid just because he played a game for England last year.

[bendyas]

All the bickering apart, O'Loughlin is obviously class.

If you can't see it, then your eyes are painted on.
