How many times do I have to post this!

I've stated in my posts that I can only go on the games I've seen him and go off the stats I've seen on the two games Ive missed! I've stated this very clearly!

So under yours and her rules, people can only post on here if they went the games? If so, this board will be pretty empty. I also feel for the people who can't afford to go the games or can't get time off work as under yours and her rules can't post.

What does our mod (bewareofshadows) think who doesn't attend the games and often listens on the radio?

I have never stated you can't give opinions, chill out. Nor have I attempted to create any "rules" so stop being so childish about it.

All I'm saying is that you making comments about someone without having seen his better performances. Your comments are therefore inaccurate and it's no wonder that folk will naturally pull you up on what you're saying. Giving your opinion on the performances you have seen is one thing, but making false statements about him and chastising other people for not criticising him is another thing altogether!

It doesn't take a rugby league genius to see that 8 carries for a prop when we are down to 14 players is great. I don't need to see the game to see that's pretty poor when we need to dig deep and lost Ant Walker very early.

So if he made 20 runs and was in the right position to take the ball in on each of those occasions and only got the ball passed to him on 8 of those - whose fault is it that he has only made 8 carries?

Some good news, tommy mak has been cleared from scans, and he should be "fine in a week or two" - as according to his twitter

Which in reality that happens, quite a few games this season the "playmakers" have took the wrong options, I've seen plenty of instances where Mose has got a bit of space only for the ball to be switched to the other side.
We use to do it a lot with Shenton, never got the right ball and when he did there was no space for him to take advantage.
What I can't understand is that Walsh should know how to play Mose with set plays, I don't know if Mose has been instructed to play a certain way to graft for hard yards.

He does. Did you not see the set play that gave Wello his second try on Friday? That involved Mosoe. They'd tried it once before in the match but it broke down. Sometimes the opposition get in the way.

I know he does it with Walmsley a few times and Roby via LMS or Franki. Maybe its bad timing,positioning or misread, I think what we have to remember is that he has only played about 10 games so far so its still very much work in progress.

In the absence of LMS, Walmsley and Lefrank he pretty much only had Mosoe to use. It was the ideal set play for that moment, and it worked. Mosoe's contribution was to turn his back on the defence, taking the ball from Walsh and passing it back to Walsh who passed it on to Wello who scored. I don't know the name of the move but every team does it at some point in a match.

I like mose. I liked him when he was getting fitness. I liked him when he was barn storming last week. I can only comment on the stats on this game. Which look less impressive. I'd have him in my team at present. But whilst I saw the London Bradford and huddersfield games. I did not see the Warrington or Salford game. I did hear the Salford game and said who I thought sounded like they had good games. But I've kept my own counsel since as I don't care in most cases what others think. I do think we all over analyize as we call it a crisis when we look unlikely to win a trophy. We as most would call first a good achievement. But that is about expectations. Which I think applies to mose. I was not expecting more than I've seen. In fact I expected less.
