If my aunty had balls she'd be my uncle!

The fact is DI doesn't like Adamson.

Whether he turns into a world beating forward or not would not make any difference. It's not a valid argument to say a player is rubbish just because of personal dislike. From my point of view, he is not a world beater, but he makes up in the areas he lacks with hard work. These things balance out. Considering we are definately more beggars than choosers having a go at a young lad achieves nothing. If we'd have had the pick of RL players and a SL Grand Final win under our belt I'd be more critical. The fact is we are a team mid to lower table and we work with what we can afford.

It's not a personal dislike, it's an observation of many games scratching my head trying to adjudicate his abilities. Call me old fashioned but a Second row's game IMO should be having more of an impact and stamping more authority on the field to which i find Adamson is fading with especially with the ball in hand only averaging of 9 carries per game. 1 drive every 8.5 minutes. Or 1 drive every 4th set of 6.

Like i said, i'm not usually a stat man, and my scrutinies were confirmed with these figures. they're poor attacking stats. I except he's a young lad and possibly not had the best coaching around him, so maybe SCR have failed him, in his progression.

Fair comment.

Maybe Adamson would benefit from a big seasoned Forward to help spur his game on? On a personal note, forwards tend to improve with age, barring any injury and I feel that there is a lot to come from him. It might not happen with Salford, it might not happen straight away, but there is flashes of the player he could be emerging atm.

Quoting statistics 'by match' is a bit misleading. You need to get the figures 'by minute' to allow for the fact that he's started from the bench in a number of games this season. The same goes for the comparison with Danny Tickle.

I think Adamson is one of the players who suffered most with his development in McCrae's tenure. He looked like a quality prospect three or so years ago and capable in attack, then just seemed to take a massive step backwards over the last couple of years. Hopefully, he improves under the new regime anyway.

Forwards do improve with age, But whatever happened too one on one coaching. I know back in the Tamati, Gregory days this wasn't evident. Basically you had Props carrying out the same drills as wingers this doesn't sound right to me. surely common sense must provail coaches should be detecting then addressing your flaws week by week.

Non one on one , two on one it seems.

Well it isn't working....

Dantes,
What was your view of his performance from the corporate seats ?
I may be the only one but I thought he was terrific and wished he had been on the field from the start.

If someone could put his statistics for Friday night on here,I would be grateful.
