I've said before you've signed too many journeymen.

Smith and Agar are notorious for neglecting the academy in favour of power puff journeymen from the other side of the Penines.

Chris Hill is quality.

Ashton Sims is a big girls blouse and when the going gets tough he gets gone.

Mitch Dodds is crocked and whenever he recovers his confidence will be shot.

Bailey, well.... he's Ryan Bailey and looks like he is already causing trouble and ruining the professional culture. Smith knew what he was like though before he signed him and allowing him to share a flat with Tom Lineham is a recipe for disaster so he must take full responsibility for this failure.

Jordan Cox is bang average and is on his way to being a journeyman who makes the typical descent of playing for Featherstone via Wakefield.

Joe Westerman is another bang average jouneyman who can put in one good performance a month and then have 5 terrible games. His career will follow that of Anthony England in the future.

You've obviously never watched Cox in a Wire shirt

Plus I find your opinions to be among the biggest load of bullshit on this whole forum

Dare you to tell him that to his face.

If you ever see any of these players close up they're f'in massive.
I have no probs with Ashton. He doesn't make yards like Hill but Chris is world class.
A lot of it is to do with heart.
At 6' 3" and 17 st you'd think Lineham would be suited to prop - same with Jonah Lomu, but they're on the wing (or were).
Cox makes an impact. Don't think King does but ha does a lot of other things right (defence eg).
We're not so bad.

Chris Hill is special and playing alongside most other props in SL would make them look less of a player.
Didn't think Sims would go well for you after last season but he seems to have a lot of passion in a Wire shirt.

I wouldn't worry. You'll storm into the semi finals this season. You have a well balanced team. It's just about them last two games. Seen as the Giants aren't going to make it I hope you guys lift the trophy... Unless we pull off the miracle of the century.

So, what's the latest on Ben Evans? He's a big unit and has had a number of games for the reserves, when can we expect him to turn out for the first team?

Re: PROPS....I mean prop! : Mon Apr 18, 2016 1:33 pm  

Evans played quite limited time for the reserves on Saturday and ended up with his knee heavily strapped.

I think we're ok in the forwards, when all fully fit, but we're suffering. When simms n hill are off the field, I think the opposition see this as an opportunity and beef things up then, dodos linked tho he could steady the ship when they went off

Re: PROPS....I mean prop! : Mon Apr 18, 2016 5:30 pm  

Think Bevans as an out and out prop definitely has a role to play at the minute, especially with the injuries we have.

I couldn't agree more GHF he's definitely a prop and out and out. Feel a bit sorry for him as he must have thought he was going to get a decent run before the injury

Re: PROPS....I mean prop! : Tue Apr 19, 2016 3:08 pm  

We are in a poor position with props because of injuries not because we don't have a good pack. The Dodds injury has turned out to be a big blow, it's harsh to see him labelled (albeit by Pacific) as a crock as well as it was such a freak injury. I think dodds would have gone a long way to addressing our drop when hill and sims are off the field. Cox is going well for us but is injured, Ben Evans is decent but again injured, Harrison is injured and Bailey is injured too (although he would probably be playing reserves with his mate if he was fit). I don't think there is anything wrong with sims and I don't think there is any disagreement about how good hill is.
