He also said that  none of the Champ teams would make it through the qualifiers into SL didn't he?

Best No6 I have seen in a GB shirt from mid sixties on.

 

David Topliss, John Holmes, John Joyner. Tony Myler, John Woods, Shaun Edwards, Roger Millward, Alan Hardisty, Ellery Hanley.  I could go on.

That's not necessarily a good thing...

What annoys me is that almost every year this guy does the same thing. It's like a yearly ritual. 

And every year we read it. Why do publishers print such rubbish if all we do is read the stuff?

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

And last year he had oldham going down. Oh how we laughed! ?

[THE RED ROOSTER]

Having read Schofield's comments - He makes the same points I have made in earlier threads on here - Danny Ward is an L plate Coach, Bartheu and Ackers are big losses, nobody has come in to replace either of them and I can see a season of struggle. Perhaps not as bad as 10th more lke 6th - Which could be it for the Professional game south of Sheffield.

I cannot see any cause for optimism this year - sorry.

It’s a shame you never got to see tony Myler or JD play. They were true greats. 

You also forget Roger Millward and John Holmes. Schofield had an eye for backing up a great break and finishing it off. Creative as a stand off not in the same class as the 2 I mention. But we all have different opinions.

 

[Quinskolar]

Hopefully Danny Ward will use it to motivate our boys. Squad lighter than last year but the Broncos first 17 will match everyone except Leigh and Toronto. Lewis Bienek if he continues his progress will make a lot of people look up. The London conveyor just keeps producing the goods.

Garry Schofield wants to be the Geoffrey Boycott of Rugby League.

He's got the talking extremely loudly bit down to a tee, as well as being a superb former player, but cannot surmount his parochiality.

He wasn't being parochial when he (correctly) tipped them to finish second last year. He often dished out praise and regularly talked up Andrew Henderson. Maybe there's no agenda and he just thinks they'll struggle this season.

 I assume you mean Jonathan Davies, 13 GB games, 4 at FB, 4 at centre, 3 wing, 1 sub and 1 at 6 in 72 - 0 v France 1973.

The more opinionated columnists and pundits the better for me , like schoey and boycott . At least they put their neck on the block , say it straight and engender debate... sport now is full of anodyne , boring commentators and pundits who hardly criticise or daren’t be controversial , just sail along sometimes being very daring and saying ‘ he’ll be disappointed with that ‘ ... or ‘ he’s not had the best game ‘ but ‘ he’s a great player ‘

According to Terry O' Connor there are no poor, average or even decent players in SL. The vast majority are excellent, but if you have genuine ability then that makes you exceptional. If you can manage to put your boots on the right feet  but struggle to catch, pass or tackle, you are merely great.

And, looking at the bigger picture, no one else has successfully got people talking about this year's Championship!

Yes indeed , very irritating . ‘ he’s a great player ‘ hopefully gets less outings this year ... or even better him n his mate all together

    Was Hendo not a L plate coach?  He also started with the club/team in more disarray than the one Danny Ward will be starting with.

   Apart from that,if on-field criteria is no longer the requirement for promotion then who knows how it will all unravel...?

The man's a total clown with his articles.

A very good player, but a failed coach and useless writer.

 

Rumour was he was starting a fashion line.

IMO it was a shame he decided to leave London.  Won a lot more than most of his predecessors and seemed to be a real driving force.  Seemed a wierd choice to then go as an understudy.

of moo-moos right? Don't they have a spot Schofield on the town thing going on right now to prove hes a chipmuncher?

I like the guy, he's opinionated but at least he says what he thinks. Also just because you're a great player doesn't mean you can be a coach, the two are interconnected at all.

Lastly you have 12 tams and 12 spots, someone has to be top and someone has to be bottom, if you know 100% where London will finish this year stop complaining at Schoey and bet your life savings on it and reap the rewards.
