No serious The game has passed you and your cuddle buddys well and truly by.
Playing nine in this day and age is not a specialist position.
Often seen Liam Byrne at Wigan in the first receiver role
Kay a winger at Wakefield sometimes plays nine
Even our own Joe Cator sometimes steps in at nine and of course we have Lovodua.
Probably lots more examples but the point remains its not a specialised position any more

I do quite like the ‘Hull KR fans, always living in the present’ angle. Shows the circle does turn in SL. Sort of.

A couple of wins and it’ll look rosier. Same as it does for us and following a pattern established in the 19th century. You’re not so crap, as you’ll go down I don’t think.

Be interesting to see what your rebuild looks like.

What you can say about HKR this season is that they are a lot fitter than we are

Maybe put Scott Taylor at Full Back. Good under the high ball I'm told.

You're beyond help if you think that's a genuine argument. You've used 4 example of players filling it at 9 and non of them are great at it.

Just because Shaul might have the odd decent scoot. You've completely ignored the workload he'd be under at 9.

Like it or not 9 is a specialist position in the spine of a team.

Why the hooker position should be officially reclassified as a dummy-half

His posts go up 600% when we lose. Hardly posts when we win. So I suppose he be posting a lot in the near future

Re: On to Leigh : Sun Mar 26, 2023 7:57 pm  

Your first try should've been disallowed due to a loose carry by Carlos Tuimavave with the ball going in a forward direction.

Of course it's all academic now but, there you go.

Even as a Hull KR fan, that looks like a strip and, while it does probably go forward (if it’s considered a knock on) it is marginal.

fans of clubs other than Saints often look to Saints for a single secret of success. Most often, developing young players. Surprisingly rarely, Eamonn McManus’ munificence. ‘Fans being really needy even in victory’ feels like it could be the new Leigh take on it.
