He has never really rocked my boat, but you don't get many 8 ft Stand Offs do you ? I'm loathe to post such a post because it just sounds sour grapes etc etc. I hope you've read enough my drivel over the years to be able to discern the difference between a p take and a genuine post. Brian mcD in a coffee shop was asked by a good friend of mine circa 2019 why JF was never approached for SL. McD's response was surprisingly in tune with your assessment rather than mine. He really didn't rate him. Has a double pump one way and a decent boot but that's it. Crapola defence. I don't necessarily agree with his assessment but I do acknowledge McD has forgotten more about rugby than I'll ever know.

The double pump thing is bang on, it's his go to move and when it works looks great, but he seems to do it in every attack. He does look very lazy in defence in the games I've seen him in.

He played for Donny at Town and we barely laid a finger on him, just totally dominated the game and made it look so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just meant that he couldn't play for as long as the measures were in place. Indeed, but faking a vaccine to circumvent those measures is breaking the law in France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Evans Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Anyway, Kheirallah played. Went well considering he hasn't played in a while. No better or worse than Pickersgill on today's performance. He'll settle in quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
