Seems he isnt missing Nobby

Oh how very droll. It's quite obvious you'll never change your mind. Why am I so defensive? I just don't like seeing one of our players (you know the guys on the team we supposedly support) being beaten repeatedly with a stick and not being given credit for what he does do well and right. I've done the same for Roberts, Riddell, Phelps, and i'd do the same for any of our players who are being singled out in a way that I see as unfair.

Why are you so offensive anyway? Did Stu take your sweets or something?

no he failed to pinch them off my neice - she was tougher than him! sorry couldn't resist. Lets hope you do defend them all - time will tell. I actually agree that the amount of stick some of the players are given on this board is unfair, especially the personal stuff and I usually champion the underdog (Coley, Roberts, Phelps) but I cant seem to do this with Fielden. I suppose its the "in camp" stories that I have heard. Anyway new season, new set of resolutions - "must try better" , Fielden on the pitch and my attitude towards him.

Are we friends now big beard? its only a game and we are both on the same side.

I definitely do and will defend all players. There's nothing wrong with saying and feeling Stu should do better, i'll totally accept that and i'd imagine he would to as he's more than capable of being up there with the best. I only have a problem when people start saying he's poor, mediocre etc, even if Stu is performing at 50% of his best he's still better than many props in the league and that's why I back him up.

And I try not to fall out with anybody, life's too short and you're quite right it's only a game and we're on the same side, plus life would be very dull if we all felt the same way all the time. And if I did i'm sure Andeyd would revoke my happy clappy status, and I can't be having that

Of course we can. I found it very strange that our left hand side defense today was very poor, when in previous years that has been the better.
We are still scoring more tries down our left, I wonder if our specccies now believe that Goulding is better than Ainscough?
