Do you honestly think you have seen enough of Cunningham to make that statement?

Maybe want to re-read this thread it is about everyone's choice if all fit.

Take away his two errors and two poor ones at that and his stats are excellent, unlucky not to get a couple of try's.

Mini's stats also very impressive.

Ok,neither would be near my starting 13 and I wouldn't have either on the bunch... From what I seen of cunno imo he's average

I'll ask again, do you think you have seen enough of Cunningham to write him off?

So far this year he has played 6 games (Usually one 20 minute spell) and made 22 carries, surely that isn't enough to make a judgement?

I thought he has done pretty well in the brief minutes he has played and should be given more gametime to prove his worth.

He does need more time before he can be judged, we need to not rely on Houghton all the time imo.

who's wrote him off? All I've said which is my opinion is that he's average. You think he's pretty well which is your opinion, why can't you just accepted it

You still haven't answered the question?

You put a statement out there saying he is average, so that's pretty much saying he isn't good enough.

No problem with your opinion, but this is a forum, so prepare to be challenged.

And yes I've nackered this post up

I agree, I'd like to see both hookers rotated better.

For example, start Cunningham, then bring Houghton on ,when our defence starts to tire.

We need to although Houghton runs his blood to water for FC, he becomes lathargic & distributes some sloppy play.

Exactly this, this is why I've being disappointed that Cunningham hasn't had more game time. Taking not only pressure off Houghton a bit but pepping up the attack AND defence when Houghton starts to flag. It also allows Cunningham to develop, to show us what he's about, I'm sure he'd like to be in the 17 more regularly so will have something to prove which can't be a bad thing.

He needs to be playing, I would have had him in the 17 most of the season we will be up the creek if Houghton was to get injured, Cunningham would then be thrown in & expected to do long stints & he wouldn't be match fit.

You said you'd have Rankin at hooker over Cunningham. Looks a bit like you're just creating indignances for fun.

Why don't you change your name to mrs ballista? subtle but far more appropriate

I've heard howarth is going to wakey.

Swap for Mcshane?

I would rather see Cunningham get more time tbf, don't see mcshanes game any different to houghtons.

I am very disappointed at the lack of game time Cunningham has had this season.

I don't know whether he's good enough because I haven't seen enough of him.

For the past three seasons we have spelled Houghton with Heremaia but this year he's being worked to death.

If Radford (the coach who supposedly gives youth a chance) didn't think Cunningham was up to it he should have signed another hooker to replace Azza (and I don't mean Howarth!).

its a puzzling one that is for sure

Yeah I did, what was that 4-5 months ago AND that was as a back up plan as an option based upon what I had seen.
I watched Cunningham and thought he did well, better than I expected, better than many expected going by the comments.

Don't you ever think out loud options or you afraid that people might voice an opinion against you for doing so, I guess you're the type whom only ever sticks to one thing and digs your heels in even when you're wrong and won't ever change your mind?


But knock yourself out love if you want to quote exactly what I said in the context of what was being discussed.

Clearly. I wouldn't have pointed it out otherwise. It just like like whatever Radford or the club do, you actively pursue a critical angle. Say Rankin should be picked at hooker ahead of Cunningham. Then bleat that Cunningham's not picked. Up to you, of course, but a shred of positive counterbalance on occasion might enhance your status beyond the "scroll past the rambling vitriol" category.

So Naughton has been dropped.

I don't get it.

(unless injured?)
