The Blues Ox Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Id usually give an honest assesment of any player leaving us but honestly even though he played a few games for us I really didn't notice him that much. To be fair to the player thats not a bad thing in defence and in attack we have not had a centre who got the ball to his winger in a number of years. So in that sense its pointless us paying what I would assume to be decent money to someone not involved in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cattivo Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 absolutely superb signing. just need a half decent centre that can give him the ball....something we haven't had for a long time....or else it's a complete waste. Keenan Tomlinson or Lewis Galbraith aren't that player. just a thought. "you never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board doesn’t mean a thing.

9' oller Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Keenan away to Sheffield hopefully? Yep jodie a very very useful addition delighted. Perhaps rettie set for hunslet or shams?

Perhaps rettie set for hunslet or shams? Come on Marc, he's not that bad! As a utility he covered many positions and seldom let us down. I for one would keep him if we could as he'll get better I reckon just needed some game time. Galbraith too is not a bad player, when he keeps his temper, just a shame he isn't a little bigger but he punches above his weight that's for sure! I don't see us replacing all the squad we don't have the brass, but a bit of quality and I reckon Linners can mould a decent team that can take us a little higher in the table than recent seasons.

phildog Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 That's Broadbent and Broughton as a partnership, says he, hoping. Put JC at 1 and bring in another winger if Rettie is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distantdog Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I would definitely keep Tomlinson. I wouldn't play him at centre but what value he has as a squad member. Plays in so many positions and always does his best. Wouldn't have thought Reittie was going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverback Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Great signing,plenty a pace and no lightweight so should bust his way thru near line.galbraith would be no were near my squad and its nowt to do with his temper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffeedog Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Couple of centres and a halfback and a hooker and we should be OK for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be OK with Galbraith in the centre and one other, but agree, one more hooker, one more half back and we will be good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 If we've kept White and the suggestion of DannyY going back to Hornets proved untrue, are we keeping young Ineson, would you want another no6 or utility? Tomlinson is worth a shirt for versatility alone, maybe not the quickest over more than 20 yards but powerful enough near the line, covers 2nd row well and tackles. Would like another prolonged look at Pick n Blagborough, neither got into their stride in only 6 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9' oller Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Undoubtedly keenan getting close to the heart and utility value of brev but come on. Lads who aren't centre get caught out likewise second rows are a specialised beast. Once a season is enough but why persist and expect diff results. We love retts returns but too slow and not agile enough now for a true winger. Lewis is a centre still looks fast and a cert keeper. All opinions and subjective. Imagine mannings response at being asked to play centre for 6 games!!! 'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys...

9' oller Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Keenan too much of an average Joe for me. Ok he is stuck between being to slow for one aspect of the game and not big/strong/ battle hardned enough for another. I wouldn't bemoan rettie moving into back row as he wins collision still has pace for middles etc. But Wayne playing a wingers game nah 'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys...

That surprised me as I could not remember a single one so I had to watch the highlights to jog my memory. These clips might give you an idea what to expect, could call it scoring 2 and conceding 3.

I almost admire the lengths you have gone to find highlights of a player who has left your club to show how poor he is. Well done, we were almost allowed to get excited for a moment! For what it is worth, I hope he rams that attitude back down your throats when we play you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
