i must say im not very impressed by stosic he never seems to break the line, simply just falls as soon as he is tackled. thoughts?

Really!!???

He has been one of our best fowards, does what he is asked to do, hardly ever makes mistakes!!!

He's not there to break the line and he "falls" to land on his front and get a quick play, his defence is very good and makes very few mistakes, i'm happy with him.

yeah, i think he doesnt have the accelaration/power of korki, bibey and moore.

He's miles better than Bibey!

Really? Not for me both very good steady props for me.

if only we could put some glue on korkis hands he would be a world beater!!!!!

I dont rate Bibey myself. Is he OOC at the end of the season?

Dunno but if he is I would be hoping we retain him. ONe of the best value for money players I imagine. Never eally puts a foot wrong and does the 'ugly' stuff with no complaints.

Korki - how many balls is he gonna drop!!!!!!!!!

Stosic is a quality front rower who we missed when injured.

He doesn't huff and puff in front of the grandstand or lay a big hit on someone and then go missing from defence for 10 minutes, neither does he make bollocking 40 yard runs in the midfield but disappear when someone is needed to drive the ball from inside our own 10 yard line (the hardest yards to make on the rugby field).

What he does is make himself available, makes a solid 8 yards a run and gives us a quick play the ball. He bottles up the midfield in defence and rarely gives away a penalty or loses possession.

Agreed. I'm not sure what people want him to do....throw the ball about, be able to kick? He does his job, and does it well. The exact phrase is 'value for money' - more so than others.

Bibey















if we lose any forwards this year ino who i want gone and its not Korki, Moore, snitchy, wilkes, sausage, JD.

Nice avatar...

He's an excellent defensive forward (not much will get past him and Snitch), but if you watch him in his drives he'll never get knocked back. He'll keep pushing with his legs to get a couple more yards in the tackle and still win the ground for the PTB. He's given us just what he promised and when he's on the pitch we seem to have more composure both going forwards and in defence.

Do you actually watch games???

It is easy to 'bag' bibey, but he is solid and does what is asked of him !!!

why do you think he plays all the time???

l would much prefer his solid drive and quick play the balls than Moores or Korky's one good run in 5!!! Don’t get me wrong, you need the moore/korky type to compliment the bibeys/stotic, but that type of prop will also lose you lots of yards when they are gang tackled and pushed back 5/10 yards......as happened in Sunday’s game.

Solid as they come, offhand. I can`t recall a dropped ball, missed tackle or a penalty conceded. I do remember the break he made against Salford when he put Wilkes in for a try. He & Bibey have been our most consistent props all season, I`d wager that Bibey is the top metre-maker of all our props up to now, e.g. 117 against St. Helens, when he made more ground than any other player, apart from Atkins, who made 80 metres with his break, with no-one in front of him. Would much rather they played for us than against.

Totally agree!

Above taken of super league site stats, adjusted to show average per game. Not sure if they're perfect, as no yellow card was listed for Snitch, and obviously Korki's and Sculthorpe's show stats for both clubs. Nevertheless, I think they give a fair reflection of the merits of Bibey and Sausage.

For my money Stosic as being a good signing hes the type of player who dose not stand out because he dose not make the 30 yard breaks or drop the ball, gives a pen away in our own 40 unlike some of our other props
He works his butt off always looks for work and his defence is top draw
Graham Idle was the same you only miss him when hes not in the team

That proves one thing, we have to keep hold of snitch!!!

Yes go to em all mate

Forwards have been outstanding this season.

Can only presume you are not that clued up on forward play then!
