I'll be first to admit his recent performances have been far from great but same can be said forth team on the whole recently. Im sure the trys will come again once we get bodies back and we as a team will be leaking less.

We've signed him on a long term contract with the future in mind also, his weaknesses are not exactly a revelation and I am sure are being addressed and over the course of his contracts will prove a good signing.

Agreed. But there aren't plenty of jobs where you are judged based on your performance over 80 minutes rather than the whole week.

Surely, 80 minutes is a players whole week, but on the other hand, we are not privy to what players are carrying what injuries.

Re: Tom Lineham : Wed May 25, 2016 7:18 am  

I think for the finest example of injury prone we need look no further than Gary Wheeler, injury prone is surely where a player is injured more than he is playing and that the injuries are one after the other and not necessarily the same injury - Gary Wheeler.

Dodds has had a few injuries like most but they just seem to be big ones, maybe technique and maybe bad luck, therefore unluckily for him there is the tag of injury prone due the time he is unavailable. Just differing opinions.

If you think someone getting a broken leg is due to them being injury prone, you are an idiot and shouldn't be allowed near electrical equipment.

Also, in your list above two of them refer to the same injury.

Touche idiot

How true all this is I don't know, but, I think that overall it is a good thing.

Yes it might be a bit light hearted, but, at least he's admitted that he wasn't pulling his weight either at Hull or at the start of his career here. He's accepted that he needed a kick up the backside, (probably why he had a rolled up sleeping bag down the back of his shorts), realised he's made mistakes and is trying to sort himself out and become better.

Hmm. Not so sure, personally. Think it shows a frightening lack of self-awareness. This is the same bloke who admitted on the Locker Room video that he has a mannequin of a woman in his bedroom and his weakness in a game is his inability to turn quickly. Hope the opposition teams all caught that. Strikes me his mouth is moving but his brain isn't engaging. Yet to see any sign he's trying to sort himself out - he only got back in after Penny pulled his hammy, didn't he?
