Still thin we’re looking ok at centre Simmo?

Maybe you’ll delete a few posts if Hurrell has a shocker today?

No mate - we look terrible.
Newman and Broadbent should be our first choice pairing.

Bring back Hurrell - he would have caught Field......

He won’t have a shocker as he’s got quality around him. Do you not think bar Newman we have the slowest centres in SL?

Hurrell would have made zero difference last night, especially as it was our defence that was terrible.

Not sure, give is a list of all the other teams centres.

do you think Hurrell is quick?

Look to be honest Id give Broadbent the other centre spot if i was Agar and we need Newman back I won’t disagree with you on that.

Not even about Hurrell now, Surely we need some more quality at LC to partner Newman? Will be next season now though…..

You asked if we had the slowest centres in SL, Hurrell plays in SL and is slower than all our centres.

Briscoe isn’t actually slow, he is however not a centre, and I wouldn’t be playing him there as I say Id be playing Broadbent.

Maybe I shouldn’t have said slow. Dynamic, attacking threat , power, slip pass would all have been better terms. Hurrell not quick no, but powerful ++.
Briscoe fine on the wing, Surtty good back up anywhere!

You do flip flop around thats for sure.

Im actually agreeing with you our first choice centres should be Broadbent and Newman.

Hurrell has gone, i wanted him to stay, we offered him s deal he turned it down for less money, what can we do?

None of this years team can march and pretend to play a bugle the way Koni could.

Flip flop fly. I prefer to call it ‘evolution of thought’ plus It’s so hard to debate properly without chatting f2f. As an aside would you be up for a meet up with a few of the main protagonists on here in Headingly one day. Would be great to put a face to some if the names who diss me on here

Id be up for a meet up for all our squabbling online i think your actually a decent chap

Honestly, I think we’re all decent people, well maybe with one or two exceptions…

Ha!

Honestly I appreciate im often too much of an apologist when were poor, I just tend to think looking at any positives is better for my mental health rather than being overly negative, im not one for over reaction and prefer to be pragmatic, don’t get me wrong though of we have a shocker of a season i will say so, there was a point (ironically a game away at Wigan) where i knew that McDermott did actually need to go, it just wasn’t a few weeks into his appointment in a season where we went on to win the SL

Think I’ll post a thread at a net up closer to the time. Before a game I guess would be best. If I don’t agree with anyone I respect everybody’s perspectives. That’s some serious RL knowledge and experience (me included) and it’s great to share some of that amongst us all.
In all honesty I’ve preferred the debate in here more than the rugby last few years!
Any suggestions on a venue we could actually sit and talk?

It's the Matt Adamson effect.

There was a point a couple of years ago where I was very close to leaving the forum, the constant pessimism and over reaction was becoming a bit unbearable, I do think it has got better in that regard.

I think a summers Friday night in headingley would be great to arrange a meetup

Yeah spot on. I’ll suggest a date I can def come. If some can’t make it , we’ll do it again, if no body kills anyone…..!

I'm not

Fwiw Hurrell on marquee money. Ok he had some negatives but played most games, and entertained us all. He is far more deserving of that money then Tetevano imho.
I think we could have kept him on, but clearly he got the hump that we were trying to down-grade him, despite offering far more than most others in the team. I’ll try not to say anymore on this more as he’s gone, but I think it was crazy not to replace him with a quality left centre.

Bit at least you knew we were signing Kyle Eastmond!

All if say shabs is that keeping Hurrel imo would not have made much difference to how we go this season, he will look good in the saints side because they are so dominant in most games and can compensate for his weaknesses, we currently can’t

Oh for small mercies.

My thoughts exactly
