NickD Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 God knows. I never even notice he's on the pitch. That said, those who pay more attention to the less attention grabbing parts of the game tell me he does a fair bit of tackling.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real grafter, but doesn't contribute much in attack - he's not alone in that aspect of his game though. Really hope he becomes good enough to hold down a Wakey spot.

graham fisher Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 How old is Jordan,19/20? He's a young lad playing in a struggling side,he's put a lot of the more experienced players to shame this season. So I take it you don't rate him then Nick?

Does not get enough service with the ball (could that be a deliberate move ?) Scored in his last two appearances. Was not in favour at Wakey so had little ball time there.

grumpyoldram Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Don't mean to be picky Graham, but the whole squad are playing in a struggling side. They are all part of the problem. Crowther is no better, or any worse than the rest of them. Age isn't the issue - if they are good enough and all that. I agree though, some of the senior players aren't stepping up to the plate.

I just dont notice him....simples...My first answer was no messing. I wouldn't know if he was on the pitch or not. If he's ever given a pass or broken a tackle Ive missed it.. I like Eddie Rombo's, Dennis Baileys, Anthony Thackerays..I tend to forget that there are two sides to the game..Unless its someone like Gary Cox or Tony Murphy who were really stand out tacklers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The solid grafters and tacklers are fundamental to any team's success. Did you notice all of the flash stuff that Kevin Ward or Jimmy Thompson (to mention just two of many) used to do? The "flash Harry's" of our sport distract from the engine room without which most teams would be lost. Let's see a list of Dewsbury's unsung heroes of the past.

I've always believed that you can't be a truly great RL player until you've mastered the art of defence. Attacking RL will come but a forward in particular must be able to tackle. I'm way more pleased that you rate his defence more than his attack - his attacking game we can work on but if he hasn't learned to tackle by now I'd be very worried. We have a few in our team who have not fully mastered it and eventually it always catches them out no matter how fast or flash they may be so I reckon Jordy is on his way..

We've got quite a number who wo't or can't tackle. You only need to look at the points against us to see that. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
