Andy Coley : Sun Feb 22, 2009 10:35 am  

All,

Anger and bitterness aside regarding the current form of the side; can someone who was at the match give an honest appraisal of Coley's performance on Friday night?

Given that this was his return from being dropped I'm interested to hear how he personally performed.

Well he wasn't as bad as he was v Wakefield. But then again he was fairly anonymous. Just played his normal game.

In other words he was rubbish

Dreadful. The only positive I can come up with is that he caught the ball.

Not good enough i'm afraid.

theres no impact in his hit-upS. And doesnt give of any confidence or aggression. really wanted him to succeed here but this will be his last season IMO

The annoying thing IMO about Coley is the way he ambles into the tackle with the ball. Once contact is made he THEN starts to drive. If he put that effort in when receiving the ball he would be far more effective.

Stood in the centre with his hands on his hips?

Coley has his moments and when he's playing well, he can rattle up a few scores. However, we didn't lose any sleep when he left The Willows, as he doesn't seem to be a team player.

IMO his best position is as a second rower, and when he runs thru the centres at pace, he's pretty hard to stop.

He is never a prop and I don't understand why Karl Harrison tried to turn him into one.
