If thats the case.......So why all the ribbing of craig hall?? No worse then sharp from what iv seen so far!!

And homegrown is Hall.

He has made quite a few mistakes but to blame him everytime the opposition work an overlap to that wing is just stupid. You could move Briscoe over there and the same thing would be happening.

Could it work if we moved Horne who is good defensively to the right hand side of the defence to defend outside Whiting and Longy to the left to defend with Yeaman?

Not helped by Whiting and others inside him who often leave him stranded. He does need to improve but on the whole has done well so far.

Hall was a tbf and although we get still get caught out wide at least Sharpe can tackle when he is 1 on 1 something Hall could not do.

To be fair to Sharp , Long and tickle both came out of the line to no effect far too often and Rich Whiting looked as lost as Sharp. Sharp stood out because he was running between the three players he ended up marking. Lets face it we , still , need a scrum half , an off half , a centre , a winger and a full back.

This is another example of out poor defensive pattern isolating our wingers and making them look poor. Tom Briscoe has taken flack over this in the last year or so as well as Calderwood and Lyne. (not to mention the likes of Blacklock before them)

A winger doesn't just choose to randomly leave themselves marking 3 men. They need to rely on the inside defenders numbering up properly and sliding. (where we have seemed lazy for a couple of seasons now)

He was a poor defender at Quins- Goes to sleep at times

Only you would think that was in any way a relevant response Jimmy, let alone what the wink was for.

only you can comment on performances from your keyboard

eh? That doesn't even make sense, you absolute cretin.

Now this is the garry everyone has come to know.Verbally abuse anyone who agrees the opposite from him.

To be fair Jimmy everyone on here who states an opinion on performances is making it from their keyboard. (or phone)

that is true,but how people can judge when they dont even attend is something else.....

sorry mate, but that opinion is bollox

You can get a reasonable idea of things from commentary, I agree you have a much better idea being there but to dismiss someones point of view merely for not being their is not right.

Why is that? You can't judge a performance,from listening to the radio,or reading a HDM report,or even going by what people say? Watch the games and then decide.I totally agree performances have not been good enough,but when some people say we didn't play well last friday,but weren't even there to be able to judge,how can they comment in a truthful and honest manner?

Also,one certain person on here,loves to argue with anyone he can,but then resorts to personal abuse!

Agar goes to every game, and he thinks we put in some great performances.
Rule goes to most every game, and he thinks Agar is a great coach.

It's also pretty easy to make general judgements about how good a side is from the results over a period of time. Around the last three years should be a long enough time span.

Yes,a reasonable idea,but Garry takes his to the extreme,then goes on a rampage of abuse against people who disagree with him.He can call me a 'cretin' from behind his pc all he likes,but i would rather he said it to my face!I would then POSSIBLY have an ounce of respect for him and his views.

You can now DDD has retired

This thread does not seem to be about Sharp anymore.

Behave and cut out the abuse, we won't keep warning people forever.
