Absolutely right regarding sloppy field discipline not being punished by the ref, lying on is just making the game like an old fashioned RU game with rucks.
Quite honestly RU is speeding up with RL coaches taking over!!!!
Unfortunately that is our problem we are basic no flair or pace surely if you have that available then you select it ?
You are right.
Patten may kick well but doesn't seem to add much to our attack; rarely seems to "take on" opponents and attempt to make a break, doesn't like being tackled!
Gilmore is our main playmaker, we don't need two of them and thus lose an attacker.
Well, rather a simplistic view but that's my take on the situation.
Come on Sunny you just want Lyons with Gilmore. 😀 Personally i like a halfback with a long kicking game.
I personally don’t think lyons adds much flair, pace or make any breaks!
im much happier with patten in the halves
@scouseviking55 I think it's more centres and attacking full back we need
you are right there - we need centres playing like roberts did yesterday !
Short term thinking lol Roberts tries really hard in every position doesn't make him a game changer or game breaker scoring 2 tries against the team we should beat easily
We have a SL centre but some think he ain't worth playing as we don't need him.@scouseviking55 I think it's more centres and attacking full back we need
@prisoner the coach that got us into the playoffs for the first time in years?
yeah think I’ll trust his opinion 🙄
Yes the same coach that thinks Fleming is better than a international centre and the same coach moaning about squad size but letting players leave weekly I'm reserving judgement

Last Sunday, Hannegan dummied 3 times and scored 3 tries. I want a stand off who will do this for us, not one who kicks well but cannot attack himself with the ball in his hands.
Your view is as honest as mine, just different.
We both trust Cokeman.....
He only signed on Friday, maybe he couldn't play for some reason.
If his attitude is right and the loan deal is worth a jot, he'll get loads of games. Calm down.

I would prefer a Dennis Moran type but Joe Lyons is cheaper. Good tackling but not really a halfback who will get 3 tries and dance like Hannegan. Hooker possibly as a good tackler. 😎
IIRC there was some question regarding his match fitness after a trip home. If that's true why would we risk him if we wanted to stay in the Cup?
Patton has always been 'good in parts'. If he was always 'good' he wouldn't be in the Championship!
@sandgroper Thank God, someone has spelt Patton's name right.
@gpo1971 no ones even considering his attitude could have stunk! AC isn’t going to call him after one week is he. Just straight away assume he didn’t get picked on talent alone
If he was asked about it he could have cleared it up if it was a knock or low match fitness but he wasn’t so people are just going to assume otherwise
