I'll be the first to say over the past few year's Tommy Lee is Crap!
BUT he's being playing OK over the last few rounds
He's definetly not a Hooker Berro and Houghton are 1st n 2nd followed by Hodgeson.
He's Not a Half back Thorman , Horne and Washy are in that place before him .
what he's doing at the moment is great and i think he play's better when not under so much pressure like when he's at Half back or Hooker.

Your having a laugh if you think Hodgson is ahead of Lee for the hooking position.

Don't think he did anything wrong at all on Saturday and I can't understand why people feel the need to blame him all the time. At the minute I think he has to be a better option on the bench than Haughton, he can come on in the back row and do a good job if needed and he can also come on at hooker and do a job if Berro needs a rest.

Lee's best position is 9 and I agree he should be first in the pecking order on the bench to either spell Berrigan or a back rower. He is playing well - better than Houghton - and should be rewarded as such. If he's playing well his versatility means he shades Houghton.

i cant understand why lee isnt in the backrow,then we could stick with manu on the bench,manu is a lot more effective off the bench.also play with three props on the bench and rotate them more often.

Manu seems to take a while to settle into games though and has even said this himself. Thats why I think he has been starting games, and for an impact player he seems more than capable of playing 60+ minutes. Although wouldn't make as big of an impact.

You must all be having a laugh or are the last few of his fan club.

Lets put this into perspective if all are fit he would not get a look in .
He is not a 7 nor he is he a 9 now you all think he is a back rower the only few places he has not tried are full back Centre and wing.

Two problems with him he has no natural place and is not able to make decisions.

We need to drop him and get a ball player like washbrook or whiting back into the side.

he plays well now as all we do is plod down the middle which is all he is good at no skill required in that, and no decisions to make.

he has had his chance needs to go out.

Who did we have before Dean Treister? Was it Lee jackson?

Pretty much, although we did have Last for a short while. Treister came mid-season IIRC.
