Deep sigh. I see they tried to hide it as the bottom story in a really vague bit of good news about Holdroyd and Myler. Depressing.

If not unexpected. I said 8w after first one and he played after just over 6w. I know we were desperate, but now look at us…..

Think I also said it sounded similar to the Phillips injury and he was out for 12 weeks.
Had he had the surgery from the start he would be almost ready.
Could Walker be the answer once Myler is fit?
Or could Walker play in the halves with Austin at centre?

Surgery is not without risk though. If we have Had started the season better I’m sure he would have had a longer initial rehab.

True.
I`m probably clutching at too many straws due to the situation we find ourselves in when I seriously thought we would be in the top 4/5.

It’s really disappointing to be wherewe are. Frustrating to see some younger players being held back too long, and only paying when we are literally desperate….

Re: Our Centres : Fri Apr 01, 2022 6:00 am  

Ultimately the key issue regarding the development of our young players in the threequarters has been the underperformance of our forwards and halves. Our pack is consistently not getting over the gainline or achieving dominance up front. The halves have underperformed and created little for our backs and their primary role has been getting flogged bringing the ball back out of our own 25 into contact. That is why we keep going back to Briscoe and Sutcliffe as the younger players are not as physically developed despite probably having more speed and ability to beat a man.
Its actually impacted our threequarters and their performance and development since 2015 however this season has been the worst so far!

I think our halves have had opportunity to do a lot better. Some of the passing from Sezer in particular has been abysmal. Everyone is trying imho, and I think it’s actually a myth that players like Briscoe and Sutty are somehow metre making machines to help the pack out. We’ve tried safety first approach and it just ain’t working. As others have said the only thing to salvage from the season is at least looking to see who has muc potential. Corey Hall for example is a lean lad. Has he been battered to the point people are questioning his welfare? I’m thinking now if you have talent, you simply have to play……

Levi got over for another for York today. Hopefully his year there will really bring him on.
