I think his game is too limited to be a top hooker, too slow and lacks a bit of skill. Strong defence, decent passing, kicking and good work ethic though, I would have him as solid SL hooker.

I agree totally.

He's never going to be a world-class ranked hooker, but he is a hard, solid SL hooker. He's been consistently decent for us since signing.

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.

Before the injury against Wigan on Easter Monday Tommy Lee was playing well and contributed to our good form at the time. I also thought he did OK when he came back from injury in the middle 8's. He's not the quickest and doesn't have a top kicking game but he's honest, versatile, has good hands and works hard.

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr

Re: 17 For Hull : Thu Feb 04, 2016 1:20 pm  
I can't see happening, but I'd like to see Gaz O'Brien on the bench instead of Logan Tomkins. He offers more versatility and will do a decent job at hooker when Tommy Lee needs to be spelled.

They won't drop Tomkins i'm betting O'Brien will play FB.

For any Salford fan to think Tommy Lee is a top hooker then your being delusional. He is a run of the mill Super League Hooker, in fact I would only say Wakefield and Widnes have a similar level hooker and I feel I am being generous.

He gives 100% and will tackle and kick for us all ay, but by no means is he top draw. I have always felt this is the one key pivot position which Salford have ignored over the past 20 years and have struggled because o it.

I would love to see a really class number 9 who can dictate the speed of play and put us on the front foot.

God loves a tryer but we had Mal trying for years and lets be honest all he could do was tackle.

With regards to O'Brien, it would be foolish to drop Nial, who was one of our stand out players last year so can't see that happening. And O'Brien on the bench in stead of Tomkins would be another surprise as you don't need cover for your backs due to the infrequency in which they get injured. It would be a waste of a bench spot for a forward against what is a very big pack, which we will have to match.

I've heard that Tim Sheen's see's a lot of potential in young Matthew Wilkinson.

I've heard good things about him as well. Hopefully if the draw is kind to us we could give him a cup run and also use his as backup in case of injuries to Lee and Tomkins

Re: 17 For Hull : Fri Feb 05, 2016 11:23 am  
I'm obviously in the minority of one on here but based on Wigan performance I'd have O'Brien at FB instead of Evalds. He didn't put a foot wrong, was solid under the high ball, linked up well with the halves, got play out wide quickly & returned well, we didn't concede a point when he was on against a stronger Wigan side than the one that we conceded 16 against. Evalds was poor when he came on, in particular for the first try. Before the Wigan game it wouldn't have even entered my head to not play Evalds but then again I don't think he should be in the side just based on last year. Again it's only my opinion and is subjective but I was really impressed with O'Brien against Wigan. If he doesn't start I could see him being on the bench instead of a forward with Tommy Lee being more than able to play at 13 to accommodate both Tomkins & O'Brien. Just my opinion.

you cannot possibly compare last season against one friendly pal surely? Evalds is and will be our first choice FB this year, he is massively talented and will kick on again. It is great to know Gareth is able cover but IMO that's all he will be, cover for FB and HB positions but good cover at that.
