At this moment we are playing some of the dullest rugby I've seen in years. The type of stuff I watch other teams play on Sky & turn over after 10 minutes.

Sadly being at the ground & already committing my money I'm kind of stuck with this dross.

Here's to hoping we open up abit when the grounds toughen up & we at least try to entertain. Sadly, I don't see that coming with the structure we play & the personnel we use in certain positions week in week out

I do worry if we will try to play better rugby from reading KC quotes in local paper.

He's obsessed with the "arm wrestle".

He said " you don't win rugby games throwing the ball about"

He said "luke Walsh is better player now than 2 years ago as he's not throwing passes out"

To me that's a big big worry

I reckon he's trying to emulate Hanley's style of rugby mate. I didn't enjoy the rugby that season despite winning the grand final. By the sounds of Longy's autobiography, he was a brilliant man manager and maybe out of all the managers we've had, he left the biggest impression on KC. I'm purely speculating and could quite possibly be talking a load of nonsense....again.

I said all last year he wasn't good enough. When we all picked our team for 2016 I didn't put him in it either.

He misses to many tackles. He gives silly pens away and he was getting smashed on regular basis. Spent more time being dumped on his bottom than anything as he runs to upright.

Maybe he will improve with age but imo I'll stick by my prediction early last year, he will be playing at leigh within 3 years.

Youve changed your tune, you used to think he had potential

Never ever said he would play for his country and never ever predicted he'd be a star.

I said he had more about him than other lads we had Brought thru but he got worse and worse as he played more.

He did ok tonight but nothing more and against what looked like a unfit pub team in Wakey. I don't think I've seen a team so unfit as Wakey.

He just needs time. Totally unrealistic to expect a kid to live up to early game promise. We've seen so many humps in performance from 2nd/3rd season kids that people ought to know better.
