Re: Perry : Sat Mar 10, 2012 11:39 am  

over the years we have always had that unsung hero at prop Apollo, O'neill, edmondson, bryn we dont have that someone who will just get the ball with rolled up sleaves and will just take it up no fuss, i have no idea why we let jake emmitt go i always throught he was a cracking young prop and HUGE.
some of the things said about LaFrank are a little harsh, why on earth we got a big back rower (hes not a prop) to replace the BEST prop in the world.

to keep the tread going i think perry is getting better i believe the storys coming from the club about his fittness and leg the problem is that there is nowhere to hide or anyone to cover his missing yards and tackles

I thought Perry was pretty decent last night. To be fair he can't be blamed for that offload, the ball was for Wellens to take, also the break after that should have been shut down in the Hull 20m.

I've not been impressed with Perry so far, but last night he did the yards, took the ball in and most of all looked interested.

I actually thought our pack was decent last night. They did everything a pack is supposed to do, they shut down the Hull attack, they got us up the field and gave us position and possession. I'm not going to blame the pack for every loss we have, they did their job, but the half backs did not use the territory and possesion to create.

I'm a fan of Lomax and Gaskell, but for me they had 2 stinkers last night. Wheeler came on with 20 minutes, but during those 20 mins Hull gained the acendancy so he never really got much oppertunity with ball in hand, bar one run.

Was 3 or 4 times last night that Lomax just passed the ball to a Hull player when attacking????

If last night was Perry at a "decent" level heaven help us. I'll give him props for the offload - but his workrate and lateral defence seemed pretty abysmal.

Can someone sleep with his wife or something to make him angry?

Biggest soft lad in the team!

Perry was poor yesterday!
Has this guy ever heard of an advantage line?
Waste of cap space, quota spot and ultimately a wasted shirt!

He would at least look better if they found one long enough to cover his gut!

His conditioning looks abysmal - un-recognisable from the prop who played for Manly and Australia.

You can't be serious! He may not be playing to his best but to say Perry's soft is a bit ridiculous.

All this seems a bit harsh to me. He looks to be improving and wasn't on his own in a poor showing.

Mr Baileynext week might be able to bring out the animal in Perry, I hope so.

Hi Stevo. Has he heard of the 'link'? Surely he has the knowledge factor to know about this.
