And you know this because as someone who has coached for many years you can tell exactly which clubs would be interested in which players and whether those players would get a start or not? Shame you never got involved in the coaching at Wire this season. It would have been nice for someone to come in and turn the season around.

I was asked....I was too busy.

well, this is why i've not been in favour of rumours threads previously, as its 95% trash, 4 % agro and 1% widespread accuracy.

Majority of the games that Wire have played well in have been against mid/bottom table sides. Against your sides we should be competing with? No one within the teamhas shone. ....

How can anyone sit there and comment that he isn't good enoughduring that season is beyond me. HIS FIRST FULL SEASON. If he was like Matty Russell and consistently Poop for 3 years then yeah fair enough. but he's been well and truly been thrown under the bus this year. Expected to make miracles happen in a team that really couldn't have cared less.

Sandow left and Patton was brought in and expected to run the show. If the rest of the team had been knocking walls down, playing well and knocking teams around in defence then yes all the Patton doubters would have an argument, but they weren't. They were shocking. So how you can judge a young halves ability after playing behind that all season is bewildering

Calm down young Dec, you'll be playing for Leigh soon.

I joke and seriously hope he makes those of us who don't believe he can make it eat our words. Despite only being a mere fan however you can usually tell from consistently watching when a player isn't cutting it whether it's only in your unprofessional opinion doesn't really matter because that's all it is.. Sometimes they just don't fit other times they're just not good enough. Not sure which it is with Dec, but given him and Brown are our two remaining halfs and the new coach has already said he wants a new half, it would appear he thinks the same as some of us; I.e that either one of or both of our current options aren't good enough.

fun though

Re: Rumours : Fri Oct 13, 2017 12:53 pm  

what about all those coaches that said Luke Gale "didnt have it" when he was Dec's age?
seemingly not good enough for Leeds after leaving their Academy for Doncaster (2nd or 3rd tier rugby ???) then playing consistently in the bottom four of superleague with London and then pretty much similar with Bradford. he then reached the heady heights of mid table, with Cas....

....until this year when fans that have an eye for a player would have gladly seen Moran pay big money for him....

Decs had one ordinary season, along with seasoned International and former NRL players.....

if you want a scapegoat now Penny has gone Patton isnt the one .....

anyway ive heard nothing on rumours..... nothing new there....

Re: Rumours : Fri Oct 13, 2017 12:54 pm  

Problem we've got is there are three/four halfbacks at every NRL club tops. Two starting are not going to come over here, see Maloney & Roberts whereas the others will be young kids.

Would anyone take Jarryd Hayne? Titans want to sell.

Re: Rumours : Fri Oct 13, 2017 12:55 pm  

Rumour that Wire are in to rescue Josh Charnley from his union nightmare.

Re: Rumours : Fri Oct 13, 2017 12:57 pm  

I heard Charnley and Luke Walsh this morning, no idea if there are any legs in it?

Re: Rumours : Fri Oct 13, 2017 1:00 pm  

Oh dear god not Matty Smith please. I'd rather us make Adam Doyle our marquee signing.

And please don't anyone start quoting stats at me. His half back play would make a glass eye go to sleep. Banal, in italics and bold.

Re: Rumours : Fri Oct 13, 2017 1:03 pm  

Not sure what to make of Walsh.

He was awesome in his first year for Saints, one of the best players in SL. Obviously stagnated a bit since he's left but n doubt he's better than what we've currently got.
