SUPERSTUD Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 There are no medical examination’s at this level. BB is abroad he saw the light early doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSTUD Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 As much as LG and the board appear to be stuck in their blind ways IMHO some of you supporters are also. Certain players are undroppable and they are the ones that some of the supporters appear to put upon a pedestal yet in truth they have delivered the club nothing.

Crown Flatter Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I think you need to give us a clue which players you mean and then we supporters might be able to answer which of our favourites could be on wobbly pedestals. 1 Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield Ram Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Given the squad is so stretched the only players who don't get selected are Sweeting and Smith. I'm not sure they would deliver any more than Beharrel and Sykes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However some players IMHO have been absolutely rank and yet they remain an instant pick! I don’t think that any of the players have been rank. The one saving grace for me is that they keep trying to play to the best of their abilities. The problem is the style of rugby and the lack of ideas. The ban on offloading remains mystifying to me and the the signing of so many players who the coach obviously doesn’t rate or had dodgy injury history hasn’t helped. Add in a bit of bad luck with injuries to the likes of Turner and there you are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield Ram Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Given the squad is so stretched the only players who don't get selected are Sweeting and Smith. The issue since LG has come has been the ability to score points. Even now when we get to opponents 20, we lack composure and ideas. We struggle to get to 20 points and so we will always struggle to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJs favourite unfit prop barely got a look in (Aaron Hall). Davey Dixon looked good at FB to me but got one game. Maybe he’s injured too but how would we know?

However some players IMHO have been absolutely rank and yet they remain an instant pick! How much variation do you believe that there is in the player's contracts? In addition, I fail to think of any individual player that could be defined as being "absolutely rank" in the same way that I can't name one that has been outstanding. 1 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

I’m not party to who earns what but there is certainly a pattern of younger players that pay the price consistently for the teams poor performance. it’s almost a weekly occurrence that a younger player is made a scapegoat and is taken out of the team for a spell for making the same errors the more experienced players are making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't disagree with that, a senior player had a shocker yesterday, but no doubt be first on the team sheet for next week, if its the bar been set that if you have a bad game, and your pulled off or miss the next game.... If that's the rule it should apply across the board, every player is entitled to gave a bad game.. But if them staying in the team stops another player been able to step and have a chance it does seem a little unfair and cannot do team spirit or player confidence any good. Every player yesterday gave it a good go, and I'd run with the same team regardless of errors unless we have a player returning from injury and needs game time as we've no reserves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having the exact same conversation after yesterday’s match. I have been in attendance at every game live this year except Widnes London and Workington away in the cup. Let me tell you some of the regular picks have been woeful but nevertheless have been selected for the following game. Three of them came to you from a champ 1 team in the last few years and never fail to gain selection. Some players especially younger one’s are often dropped and blamed to accommodate them! Two young ones left out yesterday after the London debacle and a young player hooked after approximately twenty odd minutes yesterday and did not get back on. Fact.

He was replaced by another young player. I guess that you weren't watching when Warren Jowett was coach?
