[url=http://www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php/topic/220938-andy-lynch/Interesting[/url (to me, at least).

it is although only 4 people commented at my time of reading. I think he is our best prop but I would like to see him play the ball quicker at times.

Solid player but has always lacked that x-factor to truly cement his place as one of the best English props. That said, playing for Bradford in the last few seasons can't have helped. But at least he's better than Richard Moore.

Still carries our pack and does most of the hard work.

Hes crap, get rid of him quick and we will take him off your hands



Seriously hes always impressed and your lucky to have him.

If we let him go we would be in a sorry state. Carries our pack. But some fans moaning he's not good enough think Kopczak's better

Can't remember seeing a post where the 'poster' said Koppy was better??

I think Andy brings a lot to the bulls, only problem is, we need to rest him during a game but when we do, his presence is sorely missed!

Numerous times this year, I've seen him subbed, to be then brought back on 10 mins later as the team start leaking points and/or field position.

We just need another Lynch to replace him when he needs a rest!!

I definitely rate him as a player, just not as our captain

I don't think Koppy is better, i just feel that Lynch 2009 was much better than the one today.

agree totally, not vocal enough to captain a team in our position

and yet he always seems to be making his point heard to the players when stood under the posts after conceding or when about to kick off.

well maybe he's not a good enough captain as what he's saying clearly isn't working

Could be that it's out of his control?

I would say koppy is fast improving but is no way better than lynch. See lynch stats he is still an outstanding player who grafts despite his other team mates not being 'd'!! Lynch has scored some solid tries this season and makes more metres than most superleague props, it angers me when you get morons saying he isn't any good- clueless they are

He was going ballistic on Sunday. He didn't look someone who was not vocal enough.

Its not the under the posts stuff thats missing, its during play. Difficult for Lynch to do anything more than lead by example then given his position, which he does. Needs other people in the side organising and motivating people and making decisions on plays, in particular near the line. I don't know how you can call yourself a half back and not do that but we seem to manage it.

For whatever reason nobody seems to instinctively know what their role is and what they should be doing on the last tackle or when we are in scoring positions. Too much thinking and everything is unbelievably slow and one dimensional.

First time I've noticed it TBH.

Yeah, he was almost as animated as the guy who had a go at the coach, though I strongly suspect Lynchy put forward a more coherent and constructive POV.

And TBF the advice to Potter is probably not actually physically possible

One suspects that had Mick and a few others managed to get hold of that guy somewhere nice and quiet, they might have seriously considered carrying out some rearrangement of his anatomy - such that in HIS case it WAS then physically possible?

For some reason, I suspect he'd had more than enough 'anaesthetic' and probably wouldn't have noticed.......

We were once getting a gob full from our captain behind the sticks. He was wearing a gum shield so it was virtually incoherent. One of the lads sadi "I wish you'd finish that fecking bacon sandwich before you opened your gob". Which is all anyone could ever think of when he spoke during the game.

This is how other club's coaches view Andy Lynch. Evidence from Harrison Hanson's disciplinary (not guilty btw)

"The player explained about the techniques that they are coached and that they have individual reviews of opponents. They were briefed he is the third best offloader in the game and gets really quick play the balls. Intention was to slow the play the ball down and prevent the off load. Lynch turned to look for the off load rather than being turned by the player's actions. The priority was to prevent the offload. Michael Maguire, representing the player, stated that in 2009 and 2010 Lynch was the highest off loader in the game. In 2011 he currently has the third highest number of off loads. To ensure he can off load effectively Lynch spins upon impact. Mr Maguire reiterated that Hansen's priority was to prevent the offload.
