Re: Priority requirement - A proper fullback : Sun Jun 12, 2011 7:44 pm  

Given his form over the course of this year so far I would say yes his performances are acceptable.The weather today was appauling and every player struggled with it,making a judgement based on todays performance is just daft imo.

Im not sure if you do it to spark debate or if you just troll,but your glass is half empty approach on the boards and the team/players performances makes me wonder at times.

I know everyone will say it's because he knocked me back when I got drunk and tried to kiss him at Wilko's barbeque, but it's not true. I love the guy to pieces, but I think it's a position we're lacking in at the moment.

Yes, under-rated link in the line badly missed when not present. No better full back under the bomb, dont be blinded by the pace is be all and end all brigade.
The most laughable aspects are questioning his consistency under the bomb and positionsal sense on last tackle plays, which is the reasoning i ask if you actually watch us play regularly.

He's made a few uncharacteristic mistakes this season. I'm not suggesting we sell him to Widnes or anything, just maybe it would be good if we had a more pacy, dynamic player at fullback. SL is such a squad game that he'd still play every game, just not always at 1.

I'm starting to slowly agree with this, next year a line up of:

1. Pryce / Hohaia
6. Pryce / Hohaia
7. Lomax
9. Roby
13. Wellens

Would be more than acceptable for me.

Re: Priority requirement - A proper fullback : Sun Jun 12, 2011 8:21 pm  

Wello for me is the ideal bench player for me. We start with Lance at 1, Shenton, Meli at 3 & 4, Gaskell and Lomax at 6 & 7. Wellens covers 1,3,4,6,7,9,11,12,13 from the bench.

Re: Priority requirement - A proper fullback : Sun Jun 12, 2011 8:23 pm  

Its been stated though that Lance has been signed as a 6 and i would imagine the planning for next year has revolved around that.

If Wello reads this thread it wouldn't suprise me if he is MOM this Friday against the Goons.

Wouldn't surprise me. One thing I can never fault is his commitment to the cause. I feel bad about criticising him, I really do.
