Skolars!

Gone for the year.

What about Carney trampling Bentley before he got too Thomas.

Bentley is still eligible to play for academy who's been superb this season. I'll forgive him for not tackling a monster like Carney. Thomas isnt a kid anymore.

Im not singeling him out for missing a tackle on Carney. As i said it was the more than one occasion where the defender just went passed him with ease (and there were a few occasions at Fax too) its his all round play such as his positions for fielding kicks. Hes no where near them and the ball bounces a further 20m than if he were to catch it on the full.

There always has to be a scapegoat for the Bulls

I remember not so long ago when the scapegoat was Luke Gale! Yes, the guy who is odds-on to be Man of Steel this year...

Not saying Thomas is in Gale's league, but still, we do seem to be good at getting on the back of players who go on to do well elsewhere.

With Ryan and Gibson likely to be out for a while Thomas will play again.

I remember a few supporters who constantly derided Gale. There were a few around me who didn't rate Deacon in the halcyon days. Some thought Robbie Paul a one dimensional player.
And of course there were many who judged Addy as a journeyman back rower who should never have been placed in the halves. Yet an NRL coach of the year, Grand Final winner and long time Aussie national coach picks him there and he scores a hat trick.

To be honest nobody would stop Carney when he revs up, would you I wouldn't want to. And I would like to wish you the heat you have played well in parts yesterday, but we played shocking one of worst attacking performances. Too many dropped ball or penalties conceded but again al best for rest of season

For the the first 30 minutes, I think our completion rate was 100%!!
I feel that will have had a part in restricting your attacking opportunities, which was down to us, rather than you.
Eventually the fact that we had 2 back rowers in the centres and only 2 subs available came home to roost.
But I agree, you were there for the taking.

I agree with paulwalker71.

Thomas made mistakes, but so did most of our players.

Toovey chooses the best team available - including Thomas at FB and we all rate Toovey

I'm not gonna get on any players back - its not worth it - I believe they all try their best (maybe it isnt good enough for us as fans, but we are not the coach). The players have careers, family and outgoings to think about - I would not want to be a Bulls player at this stage in the season.
Good luck to all of them where ever they end up.

What do you mean pal? Is his injury season ending.

Ryan and Gibson both likely to be out for the rest of the season



The only luck we have had this season is no luck and bad luck.

In the first half we looked by far the better attacking team and with Aston and Keyes, Thomas played a full part in that. No he's no Mick Withers but Carney spent the afternoon busting tackles for fun.

On a side note did anyone else notice how Big Mick seemed to zero in on Mitch Clark at every possible opportunity.

Never been impressed with Thomas

A real lack of composure when needed. He's also too dependant on having high confidence to play well. Once things start to go bad, he just falls to pieces.

So has Johnny Campbell gone? if so its a shame he never has had a real crack of the whip..
is a lot better RL player than Thomas and safe has houses.

Re Gale.You go by what you see with your own eyes and Gale at the Bulls had 1 good game in 10 and made horrendous mistakes.I give all the credit in his improvement To Cas coach Darryl Powell who has turned him into a bona fide international half back and the Cas team into one of the most entertaining Super League sides I have seen for many a year.If he isn't the next ENGLAND(GB) coach then there is something wrong.Gale has been superb for Cas and is the Man Of Steel in waiting.As for Oscar Thomas--poor at best.Oh for the days of Mumby at full back.I am glad I was alive to watch his whole career at Northern,best tackler I have ever seen.

Thomas is a confidence player and is more of an attacker. Playing behind our leaky defence must be a nightmare for a fullback with his skill set.

Fact is we're now a bottom league team. If we had a young Mumby now he'd be on his way to another club like any other promising youngster.

That would be a major turn up..

And a welcome one.

He is cac

Seems as though he's proving you right

Campbell needs to be our first choice fullback. Or at least recruit a better one for next season. Is Moss getting much gametime at KR??

Anyoe who he thinks hes a confidence player isn't watching this.

4 errors. Awful awful awful. Embarrassing he's on a rugby field

I don't like singling people out - but it did sound like he was beaten too easily for the last try.

Full backs are a bit like goalkeepers in soccer. If they make a mistake it results in an opposition score! So you really do need someone who is a bit more reliable than 'a confidence player'

Perhaps its time to take him out of the firing line and let Campbell play there for a few games?
