connor can always step into the halves when needed, but feel we need him more in centre tomorrow, clearly obvious rovers will attack us out wide

If miloudi were a better half than Connor I think we'd have seen him there by now although no doubt you'll come back and blame Radford for that.

Playing miloudi and Harris together might be better for the shape of the team if it frees Connor up to play centre but does leave us desperately short of experience at half back. We may see Connor lining up at half back on attack but defending out wide

Get a grip, first you say I'm going to blame Radford for playing a weaker team in the CC when it was I who suggested that that might be a better option, now you're saying I'll blame radford if we play Miloudi therere when that's exactly what I and others have suggested.


You're totally losing the plot and simply trying to start an argument over nothing simply because I unpicked what you said with a logical argument as to why Miloudi should be picked in the halves. You yet again came back with 'well you'll blame Radford if we lose' nonsense ... AGAIN.

how can we know if Miloudi is better when Radford hasn't picked him and so far he has had kelly for the most part to play and will obviously go with a player he knows more about in Connor at 6 if Kelly is injured, yet whilst playing for Doncaster with someone he supposedly has only played three games with has absolutely ripped it up in the no.6 position.

You are a fuggin drama queen. It's impossible to debate anything with someone who steadfastly believes everything he comes out with is right an nothing anyone says which doesn't agree with him is relevant.

How many Doncaster games have you watched miloudi play? I presume you're a regular down there with you being so certain he's a better half back than one of the best young ball players in sl

A Doncaster fan commented a few weeks ago that Miloudi is a fullback, not a standoff, so who knows?

Not sure where "absolutely ripped it up in the no.6 position" comes from.

Bumpy fantasy land where no one plays with a knock, you get rid of experienced players as soon as you have a youngster who can play in their position and winning back to back challenge cups is no measure of coaching ability.

I'll bet he's one of those really annoying cyclists who thinks he owns the road

Griffin out - groin? Just about seals it for Rovers if true. 3 year drought over.

I actually checked before I wrote the post. He played three times in the halves that I could be bothered to look up which took all of 5 minutes. This was including coming off the bench to replace the Donny 6 starter, this was mentioned in the match report. When he came on as sub he scored 4 tries from the 6 position and Doncaster went on to rack up 70+ points. In another game he started at 6, scored and Donny scored over 40, I'd say scoring 4 tries after coming on as a sub to replace the starting player and aiding the team in that central position plus other wins from that position is ripping it up, put a name into that scenario and everyone would be shouting how great it was. Because it's because I've suggested he should start at 6 it's all a load of made up stuff.
That's why I checked beforehand, maybe yourself and Pegless jake should check out what the actuality is?

Really hope that's not true. Griffin avoiding a ban was a massive boost.
If that's the case I'd defo get Connor in the centre and let Miloudi and Harris play 6 and 7. We need at least some major threat on one of the edges.

ignoring another of your petty insults, how about telling us how miloudi actually played in those games or how instrumental he was in the wins? I'm not sure that looking up stats on the internet is a great way of finding out how well a player has played in a particular game

if you think my post has any insult in it then you're way off base.
It was you who started to make accusations about what I was thinking or what I might say despite it was myself who made suggestions/posed the questions of what Radford might do. It sounds like you're confused, can't discern what's being said, maybe it's the heat but please for your own sake get someone to talk to help you.

I could follow your lead and sit around talking to myself all day

Why don’t you 2 pm each other , it’s getting rather boring and childish now . Unless you both like the attention your getting by knowing everybody else is reading . Both as bad as each other !

Griffin (and Yeaman) both in the starting line-up. Miloudi on the bench.

So 2-7 should be:
Faraimo
Tuimavave
Griffin
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd

And we have:
Griffin
Scott
Yeaman
Logan
Connor
Harris

You couldn't write it, unbelievable.

Even as depleted as we are we should be comfortably beating that team.

If someone posts garbage I feel compelled to respond. Put me on ignore if you don't like it

Sky highlighting our "dreadful" injuries and our squad "decimation". Good they are clear on the relative facts and that Rovers won't "show us any mercy".

Cutting our right edge to shreds

Never a penalty that FFS.

Its one think HKR are good at is getting the ball wide.
i can see us conceding lots of tries wide out both wings

Too easy isn't it, as feared? As Terry says Rovers will really be fancying it against this makeshift side.
