How do you coach aggression vs Stupidity.
Remember Andy Hobson?

Remember the Warrington play-off match which we lost 32-30 and Dawson dropped an up and under to concede a soft try and then fumbled the ball with the try line at his mercy 10 minutes from time. A 10 points swing in a tight match all down to him. Give me Liam Kay any day.

| Dawson is not a great winger at all.
Slow, positionally poor, he is a weak link and a spot player for any opposition half back to watch closely. He will on more than one occasion lose his concentration, drift off his line and jam with his centre. Then hey presto, a long looped pass from the opposition half back to the opposition winger for an unopposed walk in try at the corner.
I was more than surprised by the number of 2017 SL squad players our ex DOR did not rate and off loaded, that Dawson was one of the first of the 2017 squad he did offer terms to.

I think a lot of the positional play issues came from a lack of trust in whoever his centre was. Seemed to go ok outside Tonga or Worthington, and him and Crooks improved as the season went on, from a horrific start (lots of talk about the team needing time to gel, but our right edge only had one new face in it, in Bodene Thompson). Shame we never signed a full back, as he might have done well playing outside Matautia if the chance arose.
That said, I agree he's too slow.

And that's what impressed me about young Dagger. He was constantly organising his defence. One of the things I believe we have been lacking on the pitch, is an organiser, in any position. HH was a wonderful player at leading by example, but wasn't necessarily a team leader.

Was quite surprised at Matty's performance at centre. It's quite a rarity for a winger of ours to get three tries, and his centre, two!

Well they'll probably continue to do so against the majority of the opposition over the next 7 weeks

Thanks 'Sir Kev'. That is just a small part of a lengthy aricle written by DB, and appearing elsewhere on this forum.

Good evening Sir Kev!
The latest I heard was that a bit of a bidding war is developing, between a Saudi sheikh, a Russian oil oligarch, and a Texan property billionaire, who is rumoured to be high up in the US government. I believe the snag with the latter candidate, is that he insists on total control!!

With respect Neil, that scenario would represent one of the most spectacular failures in our illustrious history - from Super League to League 1, in one year. Surely, our owner wouldn't want to be remembered for that?
Throughout his tenure, we have been encouraged, by some contributors on here, to "enjoy the ride." That's tantamount to tempting us up to the top of the precipice, to "enjoy the view" and then tipping us over the edge, shortly after arriving there!
Having experienced, at first hand, the previous, recent, financial disaster, I would much rather we were able to survive in the Championship, in our present 'home.' I have a nightmare vision that, once we move out, we would never get back - and that would be very much, the beginning of the end. The stadium at LSV, is intended to be for the community of Leigh, is it not? In my view, all options need to be explored, to ensure our continuing tenure there. A good start would be for the 'interested' parties to talk to each other!

After being de-briefed on tonight's LISA meeting it seems the LSV is just as difficult to deal with as it has ever been Alan , a fantastic facility , but ultimately something that will continue to hold back the club
