I really hope Adrian decides to hang up his boots at the end of the year.

His deteriorating form is becoming very evident and I would rather he went out with his head held high rather than being remembered for some rather tepid performances.

Thats all.

Positive as usual, beat a Leeds side in monsoon conditions and hardly put a foot wrong, and considering we top the error charts and people pick out arguably the greatest forward of his generation for criticism even though he did nothing wrong other than be out performed by the exceptional fresh talent of Chris Hill and Gaz Carvell who on his day can be almost unstoppable, wow, just wow.

I know the argument of sentiment in sport but that aside what did Moz do wrong last night?

The trouble Adrian has is he was such an outstanding player that when he drops off to a standard of the normal forward in SL it's noticed, last night very few forwards in SL would have been classed as better, he's just not the best in the world anymore that's all.

Moz played well, for me the worrying thing was the England Capt...Peacock was shocking!! Okay Moz may of not played enough to get in the squad but how can likes of Hill be overlooked and peacock get in!

Moz is more an off the bench forward for me now but still quality player to have in the 17!

Thats all ? Seriously ? Its a good job your opinions (which of course your very entitled too) mean absolutely nothing. The bloke is 2 games back from injury and your wanting to send him to the knackers yard ?

Despite his age or recent injury problems he's still world class, hence the Roosters recent interest in re-signing him. I'd be delighted if we got him for another year as our Captain.

When you shake your head from side-to-side does it make a rattling noise ?

Re: Morley : Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:45 am  

I would definitely give him another year

Re: Morley : Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:47 am  

He obviously wants to make a point as he's said basically the same thing on three different threads this morning. Always has a way of making a negative out of a positive result does Colin.

Agreed...I also think that Moz will have to be told to retire can't see him doing it off his own back just yet..

I always consider him to be our boards Odemwinnit. Bit of an attention seeker.

An even bigger worry than the form (or lack of it) from the England captain is that there are 6 Leeds players in the squad, and none of them in great form. Sinfield was terrible last night. His lack of pace when he was on the right hand side of defence was badly exposed. The only man who looked in any real form was JJB. I didn't even realise that Bailey was playing until he refused to move back 10 yards for that last penalty.
