I just don't see the snese in playing him from the off. Surely the time to bring on your most devastating runner is when the opposition are beginning to tire? Why can't our so called coach see this?

I guess it's because Washy, Whiting and Burnett have been injured so far. Assuming these 3 aren't available, as they've not been, who are your starting back 3? Radford, Tickle, Lee?

As long as we only play 2 second rowers its would be a start. FWIW I think I would start with those 3, bring Manu on after 20

our coach thought we palyed well at Quins so can't see how he would see something as easily as this would you, he is out of his depth

can you see him turning this around???

He has more chance of finding a pair of headphones that don't look like they're from the 1970's

He's got to come off the bench, if only for the opposition having to adjust their defensive strategy.

I agree. Im also fed up of giving him what ball he does get when he is stood still and having to fight through people> He need to start to be put into gaps for me.

couldn't agree more, when do we try that or get him 1 on 1

We just pass him the ball expect him to carry 5 players go 20 yards and offload the ball

In a top side he would be awseome

So would a fair few of our players. Think with our players we have the ability to be a top side if theyre coached right.

agree the potential is there, tbh it's like yeamo how many times did judas find him with a long cut out ball, when does it ever happen now

Co*ke is probably the last player we had to give any of our players a decent pass.

Hate to admit it but Big Dave is right with that statement, apart from a couple of games when Dykes played last year our wingers only chance of getting the ball on the wing is through an interception.
Cooke was never the best in the world and never will be, but he always got the ball out wide, and even when teams knew his trademark miss 3 players out pass to the wing was going to come it used to come off a lot of the time.

Now we have wingers who don;t bother standing deep enough because they know they will never be in a position to recieve a pass.

Manu, Was he playing yesterday?

He needs to run onto the ball then and not stand still!

But i agree, he should come off the bench
