Already been done!

What interests me in the story on the official site was the fact that despite everyone going on about Kath and Ruley going on a jolly to Australia (before the crocker announcement was made) our Chairwomen type person spoke to him then and the deal was done all those weeks ago!

Don't let facts get in the way of a bit of Kath-bashing Wilf!

Play him on Friday! He'll be reeeeeet

Point taken!!

I like the bit where he says he knows we don't like Rovers

If he does play on Friday i'd be peeved off if i was Maloney.

i think lee is going to miss out if moa is to play

That doesn't match with what he's said though does it? He says it all came about post World Cup.

Yup i wouldn't be best pleased if i were him either.

TBF they always tell the fans things they will want to hear





(Bit like Wilf

)

If Crocker does get his visa, I bet you'd want him straight in the side and not wait until mid-season.

Why?

Don't get what you mean TBH. It happened post WC, it happened a while back, what difference does it make to the fans?

TBH I'd prefer Lee missed for another prop regardless, but not meaning that against Lee. It's great that Cusack and Dowes are capable of so much game time, but personally I'd prefer that not to be the norm. It's gone well so far at the start of the season, but over 20-some plus games I think it's a lot to ask. They're not immune from burnout and I'd sooner they maintain their level of performance than simply the length of it.



Back to Moa, I agree with those saying it's a bit early to throw him straight in and that it would also not be entirely fair to Maloney.

TBF they are both 'projects' but ones a foreigner so he will take precedence in the pecking order.

With Burnett likely to miss out, I'd prefer Lee to keep his place in the side. I would like to see a fourth prop against Huddersfield though in place of Burnett or maybe, just maybe, Richard Whiting.

i dont think that will be it moa, the lad whos played in the world cup, might just be a better player atm.

Yep cos we don't play local lads.

Don't see how you can say that when he's only just arrived. Just predictable, blind, club-bashing nonsense for the sake of it it seems to me.

I'm going with the hope that Washbrook will be available to replace Burnett, otherwise I agree with you.

hopefully, is king avaiable?



i' be tempted to give whiting a run out in the reserves before throwing him in at sl.



as i would moa.

Washbrook for Burnett and possibly King for Lee if he is fit.

This is what I don't get about everybody jumping on the Moa bandwagon and building him up though TBH. Based upon a brief World Cup outing (and let's face it, quite a few of the players making up the islanders and home nations squads are pretty ordinary), I don't see how so many can be so sure. The only fair way for the coaching staff to decide who gets first crack at it is to wait until they've at least seen him first hand in training alongside Maloney for a couple of weeks minimum and then hopefully academy outings (when does that start?).

Spot on.
