1 tackle after coming back on and you judge his fitness by that, behave.

Every drive was flat and practically walking pace, no where near ready for matches, its a mistake were making not utilising reserve games for match fitness.

It's an observation, I wouldnt get offended by it, unless you've a Taylor crush?

you just cant have an opinion on here and criticising players especially some of the senior players seems to offend most of them for some reason.
What you said is valid in my opinion.
I posted earlier that Satae should be our starting prop but a poster criticised that by saying he was blowing after 10 minutes yet as you say Taylor was blowing after 5 minutes yet no one makes a comment

You can't criticise the local lads that's for sure ( houghton Taylor )

Some of our fans think Houghton "is good" but never answer why he's never got close to an international cap

Atleast Taylor was International class

No I was mistaken. Bill Werbeniuck would be a better choice (when he was sober)

From the world of darts Jocky Wilson is another good example. You wouldn't say he looked particularly athletic but was lethal with an arrow in his hand.

They must be more?

Houghton didn't get a cap, because during his best years, there were better hookers, still been a good SL player.

Connor has international caps and you don't rate him, you cant have it both ways.

Connor is good on his day but isn't a top full back and needs to start performing against the best

Houghton that's my point he's average

If we had an attacking threat at 9 makes a huge difference

Agree let's keep posting valid opinions and mickey them off its amusing.

Happy clappers, everythings always rosy even when your teams bang average for years, I find its a lack of insight or knowledge of the game, so grumble when anybody offers some, leave em to it don't rise to the baiting......
