wonky Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 On current form it would have to be Whiteley and Doran??not sure about that. Attacking wise perry has done more than anyother back row forward this season. Yes his defense still needs work but i think he deserves a place over the likes of mcavoy who offers little in attack. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the defence angle I mean to be honest, he misses quite a few when you watch the videos etc. having said that totally agree he works hard going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townie88 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Perry deserves his place to be fair. Was head and shoulders above everyone vs sheffield. Maybe him at centre defending next to jarrad could be an option? Mossop on wing, forrester fullback. Give murphy a kick up the jacksie. As previously said. Finally some problems we DO want.

Seaton Sandy Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 There are some players who seem to be guaranteed their place regardless of form. Jack Murphy is one of them. At the risk of repetition I believe Sam should have the 1 shirt to finally show why we signed him. Brett Carter embraced the wing role like a natural and I think he has earned the right to stay there. Also believe Liam McAvoy should stay at 13 --- when he hits his straps he'll show us why.

dkw Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Mcavoys fitness is a problem, he struggled to get back in the defensive line after 15 minutes last week, and seemed to have a problem last season too. Makes a lot of defensive errors too, missed tackles etc. Hes a quality player and was outstanding in his first season but he should not be a certain starter anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he is currently off the pace his defence is better than Perry's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderofwood Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Think people also forget Liams age? The young lad is mixing it with some seasoned pros. I'd play him in the second row and perry at loose .Your right side has got tortured in all three games and it all coming from the inside Murphy needs to take more responsibility with the boot . It's showed you are short of length from kicks when doran and Carl kick. Sunday was crying out for a big boot on the fourth and not once did Sharpe get turned around .

dkw Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 So what, we should never question a player now in case we upset them? Should make for a fun forum. It wasn't the set he made 4 out of 5 by the way. Hes not a loose forward in my opinion, hes a 2nd row or prop if needed, and like it or not he's not first choice in either of those positions when all are fit. He us definitely worthy of squad place, but not an automatic starter. I rate Liam highly, in my opinion when on form hes one of the best forwards in this league, and is capable of getting into super league. But we are very strong in the back row and he needs to deserve his place now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 young ritson misses out which is a bit unlucky as the wings arent the problem and any winger on a day like that wouldnt have made a difference ., ok he is the kid of the squad but he didnt miss a tackle in defence ( copied border news highlights and his part in positioning and tackling during their tries was faultless )and the centre second row full back were slack on the line and it seems obvious the opposition are watching dvds and attacking those from dummy half scoots or fast ball 2 v 1's ., the wings just kick the grass in attack and i hope js can go towards putting the ball in their hands sam and tee are real strike threats with ball in hand but i dont think they have had that in the last 3 games ? so heres hoping creativity , direction and speed returns with js .

Liam is the workhorse in the group in defence but dosent offer an offload game or the drive forward but perry makes yards like a prop and in good conditions will score the points. To be honest the best solution might be to shift perry into the backs. Mossop and carter are definate starters for me but i think all the others are there to be reshuffled. Sam at full back with dec on a wing and perry at centre could be worth a shot. Personally think liam is a prop and would be more suited to the roll. I also think karl olstrum is massively unlucky not to be starting games. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say you rate him as one of the best forwards in the Championship and capable of cutting it full time in Super League yet you don't see him starting for Town? We must have some stable of super stars if they're keeping Liam on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkw Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Or maybe I believe Liam is out of form and therefore would prefer us to player someone in form. Is that really so difficult to understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

townie88 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Really cant see why McAvoy is getting all this stick. Probably in thentop 5 most consistent players over the last couple of seasons. His problem, along with olstrum is their utility value does them no favours. Both can play prop, second row, and loose. So because they never get the chance to nail a permanent position, they seem to be the ones people want to move/drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkw Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 There is no stick though, its just my opinion that he isn't a definite starter anymore as we have many pack options now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that really so difficult to understand? Yes,I do find it hard to see why you judge him to be out of form. Liam took the ball up harder than many last week and I think a lot of players-on both sides-were struggling to get back into the line on a glue pot of a pitch. Very harsh to judge anybody in those conditions. Lets hope for a better surface this week -and an improved performance. A decent set of officials would also make a nice change.
