Mort should be in team plays with plenty of heart for the club and he scores tries n goals.

i really cant believe what i am readng

hobson was the reason that we got beat by barrow= if he had played the barrw forward wouldnt have ran all over us in the 2nd half

mort needs a good run of form in one position instead of being swiched about or not even getting a game so he can gain confidence and play on that

donlan is a centre and always will be and i cant believe someone has put that he should play 6= were do you think that up lol

stewart isnt a winger end of lol

and finally stanton does really well at clearing the ball from acting half back early in the sets and sets the pace of the set by getting a quick play the ball

Donlan and Higson are both injured.

Si - Mort has had a continuous run at full back and, although I think we do need to find a spot for him in the team (probably on the wing), he has been making too many similar mistakes, game after game. Donlan is injured, as I say, but he is being wasted at centre as his defensive capabilities aren't being utilised completely (he can't tackle them all on his own) while he's seeing somewhere in the region of bugger all of the ball.

Still, with the number of injuries we've got, we'll be doing well to have 17 players on Thursday who will hopefully make up for yesterday's game.

May be, but not the best 1 at the club and unfortunatley he would struggle anywhere else in this team at this moment in time IMHO so whilst its harsh that needs to be accepted for the good of the TEAM at this moment in time, that does'nt however mean that I think he is a bad player because I don't and he still has plenty time on his side.

Now here's the scenario at the next training session.........

NK " Sorry Ian but you,re dropped for Thursday "
IM " Why's that Neil, thought i've played pretty well recently? "
NK " Because we've signed Stuart, he's costing us a lot of money and we need to play him at fullback.
IM " Why? "
NK " Because our money would of been better off invested elsewhere, but we made a slight mess of things, plus you've got time on you're side, and more to the point Kelly's Eye thinks so. "
IM " Fair point Neil, if Kelly's Eye thinks so, then that's good enough for me."

Getting a bit worried for Adam - he seems to be picking up a few nasty injuries lately.

cant understand some of the criticism young Morty is taking , Ian is the last line of defense and it would be nice if the guys in front of him did their share of tackling as well , the lad is quality and with the right team and coach would be a sensation . what people forget is that hes a kid learning his trade and if he was my player i would be thankfully i had a great kicker and try scorer in my team , maybe he was thrown in too early but to be honest did you have anyone else until Stuart came , Stuart could mentor Ian and until the team sorts itself out i would put Stuart at full back and bring Ian off the bench to play full back for a while

Quite right Keith.....I like this kid, maybe a bit biased because i was involved in his development, and i make no secret of it! It's a good point you make, and one worth consideration......Not seen him at the paper shop recently, so not had the the chance to speak to him, then again he,s an Electrician, as i am.........If you read this and you're out of work Morty, give me a bell.
