Dixon - Poor : Sun Aug 07, 2011 3:38 pm  

He has to be the slowest winger in the league and offers absolutely nothing apart from goal kicking

Re: Dixon - Poor : Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:34 pm  

Even his goal kciking is questionable. Very hit & miss.

For an array of reasons this is absolute tripe, I won't bore you with the truth or any actualy background, statistics or point you to the fact that in the ET against Wakey he kicked the golden point from a very missable position.
I will further not bore you with the QF when from memory he missed one kick and Brough missed 3 I think and the kicking was the difference.

I will furthermore not bore you with the fact that after the obvious plaudits that Rangi Chase gets, Dicko would be in the top 5 for most fans player of the year.

I freel cheap even gratifying the inital crap posted with an answer. I don't judge any players unless I have seen them play 10 times in the same season, becuase when you watch once or twice on tele, you can make yourself look like a plum by posting rash generalisations based on lack of actual knowledge.

Dixon has about the same conversion rate this season as Sinfield, Ah Van, Tickle.

Been a great asset for us this season, don't think we give him enough opportunites to score tries either as he's fantastic in the air.

Kirk Dixon is not the fastest of wingers. He is, however, turning into a very wise player. Reads the game well, especially in defence, and complements some of your younger backs very well. Never rated him when he was at Hull, but he's improved a lot with age.

Re: Dixon - Poor : Mon Aug 08, 2011 7:28 pm  

i would love to see him get the ball more he is great in the air taking the high kicks and on any normal day kirk could score in a nunnery

It does bother me somewhat though to think that of late we are using Dixon as a centre. On the wing with his very good goal kicking and ability to take the cross field bombs he's very usefull but in the centres his physicality and ability to beat a man and create for his winger can be limited. If anything I'd sooner see Owen being given the chance in the centre with Dixon moving out on to the wing.
