Can't agree with that. He's played centre more than a few times. However he is a wide back where as Batch is a forward. Batch has had one good game at Centre, he's had far more stinkers.
Also this lad is NRL proven and that alone makes him vastly superior to most of our lillie livers.

There are confusing signs regarding you if I may point them out
Firstly there is the club, the board of directors, why is it that you criticise them at every possible opportunity not once publicly showing your backing for anything they try to do
Why do you always criticise the coach and his staff, every game you complain about his team selection, yet you haven't been near the ground for 3 year.
Why is it the players never get it right even when we win and there's always criticism on most players, simple question really, why do you bother at all coming on here, after all it must be quite painful having to watch it all on Trinity TV arguing with genuine fans who have the desire and the fortitude which you plainly haven't, one thing was is always missing from your posts, that's encouragement, don't bother with a half baked stuttering reply saves you any embarrassment'"
Please go away foggy and stop making a fool of yourself because I am not alone in my opinion that our progress is one way and that is backwards. We have found no new revenue streams which reduces the quality of the squad, which means a slow decline in performances, a tapering off of support, which reduces revenue and you just keep rolling on until we are finally relegated and have to start again. If you choose not to accept it when many others do that is your choice. If I was you I would go to the dictionary and look up the word “forum” and what it means. The reason I complain is because I am angry which may surprise you however, we had a chance to finally stop looking down, we had a strong squad and we played attractive rugby. This was unfortunately allowed to wither leaving us where we are today. If you want to keep your head in the fog with your fingers in your ears (not heres) going la,la,la go for it.
I have Trinity TV and a season ticket the former however does not make good watching so don’t bother, a bit like you and your outlook on life.

First line of your sentence and were giving out the insults, pretty cool I'd say.
Course your not alone in your condemnation of the club, but at least others others aren't at it constantly like you, but then others unlike you don't think they have a monopoly at the demise of the club, is that why you have a season ticket so that you can criticise to your hearts content, just an observation really squire, but I notice the word WE in your post quite a few times.

We are solvent against all the odds, in super league on a tight budget and have an ownership that has fought like trojans against a developer and a council that behaved infamously in preventing us getting a new ground and has finally got us to a place where we are getting a better stadium. Whatever happened yesterday, I'm not having this nonsense'"
You survive on that “tight budget”…..just about. Year after year. What’s the point? I really don’t get the MC love in, he’s probably great if you’re running a newsagent but he doesn’t have the finance obviously to move things on for you.

So
1) he's kept us in Super League with an income close to a newsagent.
2) even with our poor bank account, he managed to get a squad together that can beat your millionaire team 3 times this season
3) as you don't support Wakefield, I can't see why it's a problem to you.

| Yes he did save the club PopTart but he should have changed his approach over the last 5 or 6 years.
Our present situations down to Mr Carter who must be held responsible.
If we do manage to survive does the club continue on its present path and repeat the process next season.
I know you always look on the bright side but I think many supporters are starting to realise that something needs to be done before they shell out on season tickets an make regular visits to B V.
If we do survive the club should make a statement of intent, Infact if relagated also.
Its an extremely difficult time for people and the club will need to bring as many supporters it can along with it.

There aren't many positives on the field right now but Carter's responsibilty to the club is to primarily keep it afloat when other clubs in our position have gone under.
When you talk about revenue streams we are in the middle of one of the biggest projects to change that.
The onfield stuff could change overnight.....either way. But the work on stadium and the work to keep the budget under control is long term and long lasting.

Didn't he get two MoMs at centre, against Hull and Wire?

True, I meant two but the point is he’s hardly a seasoned centre.
That’s not to say I wouldn’t play him there and was baffled to not see him playing there on Saturday.
As I say I’ve totally lost any belief that Poching is up to the job. His inability to settle on a line up is frightening.
I hate to say it but he appears clueless as demonstrated in that second half.

It’s a problem to me because the club are an embarrassment to full time sport. Happy to clear that up for you.

Looked it up using the excellent rugby league project site, which given it's aussie based it's pretty much spot on regarding NRL stats. It states Taufua has played a centre twice in his entire career, once for Tonga in the 2013 world cup when they lost to Scotland and a big defeat by St George in 2020. Chucking him in there given our current predicament would come with a high degree of risk. Who knows might pay off but i'd probably go Batch myself given his last two performances in that position.

Exactly. If he’s a left winger predominantly then play him there with Hall and move Murphy to the right with Batch. Seems the most logical.
I just watched the reserves and Kershaw had a strong game. Maybe another reserves game but he’s definitely be in my thoughts.

Hold on aren’t you the same Snowie who hated the club, didn’t want to go ever again, I hate you all for accepting mediocrity or was that a different poster. You know the one whose best buddy was the pimp not so long ago.
How two faced and dishonest are you? You really are a nasty piece of work and a total hypocrite. It’s ok for you to personally name call but when I did it you pulled me up. I may have a fat gut but that’s better than a fat two faced head.
As for Poching you do realise we are still second from bottom and could still go down. I really can’t believe your that dim and I couldn’t care less what names you call me or how much faux outrage you show. It’s not over yet!
Tbh I’ve never respected you, I’ve always suspected you’re just a five pints tough guy but now you’ve show it for real.
I’ll reserve my judgment on Poching till this time next year or the end of the season depending.
Now bore off you sad little man

Can you now reserve your judgement considering you’re the one who created this thread?
I’d say you’ve already made your opinion on Poching and his coaching ability fairly clear.

Don’t drag me into the fact that you have managed to annoy another forum member. I wouldn’t say someone is a best buddy just because they have the same opinion on a subject or a person. I have on occasion even found common ground with you but I hope that doesn’t make you my best buddy.

| Oh Vasty. Just accept we have been doing well and the coaching staff have turned a team round that was so low on confidence they broke at the slightest push, to the point they took Sts to golden point, nearly beat Catalan and just ripped Wigan a new one.
