Wood V John : Sat Apr 14, 2012 3:07 pm  

Wood was miles better last night speeded play up brought players onto the ball much better and looked a far better partnership with Smith. Woods kicking game was very good aswell. Once again I will question Agars interchanges .

Would you bring John on when we are losing to change things ? NO
Would you bring John on when we are winning ? NO

Why wasn't Ellis a interchange hooker with Aiton?

I'd have Wood starting pretty equal with john on most aspects of the game apart from infield kicking where he has a massive advantage.

Don't know who i'd play at 6 though? Smith, John, Wildie ?

You were loving John before he got here

On last nights performance,first half at least Wood must be given another go at starting SH he was taking the line on,passing good and has a good kicking game also seems quicker than John and his defence is also great never takes a backward step and took the Thug on a few times.

Wood and Ellis MUST have more game time!

Also maybe get a couple of those passionate hard working prop forwards from Featherstone!

Wood was constantly attacking the line and putting doubt into the Leeds defence, something John has not done and it stood out a mile.
Ellis (if fit) should have been on the bench, John was a waste of a sub.

Ellis is 100% fit, played for the u20s today.

They beat HKR 36-24 ( Ithink)

There's a pattern emerging here.

Re: Wood V John : Sat Apr 14, 2012 8:01 pm  

Wood seems to play in a way that complements Smith's style more readily; Smith is supreme passer of the ball and Woody is more direct and takes the line on - I thought he was a genuine handful during the first half and caused Leeds major problems.

I definitely see potential in John though - just needs to get into the game more and be more consistent.

Didn't john come on for collis and play centre?
