Is this what Eamonn McManus meant when he said we need to put our faith in St. Helens' outstanding academy crop?
I've come to the conclusion that McManus just says what he thinks fans want to hear but then does the opposite. The line about young players was just to cover doing things on the cheap.
As with Wheeler, Dixon was in excellent form at the start of the season but got dropped with the change in coaching setup. It would be a shame to lose him as I think he was developing into a good second rower.
Not good enough. Does have the size or aggression to compete as a modern day forward. Dixon was left out on occassions by Simmons if memory serves me right. Likes of Forster now ahead of him even before the likes of Manu, TP, Wilkin, Flanagan etc Needs to be playing regular first team rugby & will go. Certainly not the Nathan Brown style of forward.
Good signing for Salford - not good enough for us. We always produce plenty of similar workhorse 2nd rowers whenever we need one in the squad so I doubt we'll miss him.
He is a second row in the Lee Gilmour mould. Pretty quick for a second rower, deceptively strong with the best footwork of all our second rowers. Better than Matty Ashurt anyway
Yep...and as above, was also left out on occassions by that clown Simmons. Is it me or playing regularly & left out occassionally a similar thing? Or are you on a personnel crusade to reply & takeover every single thread. Irrelevant, gets thrown round like a rag doll against the bigger packs & isnt good enough, hence why he aint getting picked.
If my memory serves me right, super Royce didn't pick him in the starting line up against London but played due to flannery taking ill in which Dixon played well which backed up his impressive friendly game against Widnes but then was dropped the following week by super Royce on his crazy rotation system.

You seem to be on a lot of threads too.
Dixon was played whenever he was not injured or on rotation, same as everyone else in the team at that time. You were making out he was dropped, which he wasn't. Unlike now, when he has been.
