We lost Cooke for a few games early on and managed ok'ish with I'anson, guess if Dobbo was ever out injured Murrell would revert to S.H.

Granted class half backs are needed for a team to be at their best but some teams manage to cover injuries to key players better than others. IMO a fully fit Vella is a key player for HKR and TBH i am surprised we have been as effective without him as we have. Saying that Lovegrove, until his injury, was Rovers form prop.

whatever, check the number of posts from me on the FC board, compare it to your number on here, then come back to me.

For a rookie prop, I will happily compare Lovegrove's metres/game stats with anyone in the whole comp. Does that make you feel better?

Argh but we are not questioning that.



Feel free.

Who is "we" ?

Sure.

No simply becasue Smith offers far more in attack than Briscoe and Carvell is a liabilty will the amount of penalties and injuries he has

I also said someone like R Horne if you could read properely: a player who can cover any position in the back line - ideally i would put leyon pryce on the bench and start with a different stand off

Good to have these players in tour squads, but when you pick your starting 17 for a test match you want the best you have in their specialist positions, Horne is not as good a full back as Briscoe or Wellens. Stick him on the bench and you might be right.

Call me old fashioned, but a test side should have a fullback, scrum half and hooker who ARE full backs, scrum halves and hookers.

No you spend it sending dummy spats via the pm system, like this one you sent me.

Think your clever do you daft lad.

Just in case you're unsure I've highlighted it for you

Lets get back on topic please.

As has Lovegrove.
So what is your point?

Lovegrove is average at best

And you base this on what ?

Him being very average.

So its basically a detailed statistical analysis on an opposition player you watch regularly then.

Yep average, very very average

The fact that he's an aussie that didn't play first grade NRL before coming here blah blah etc.

Apparently it doesn't matter how well you play; once you've been labelled by the clueless - thats that.

Thats poor even for you. Count all my posts on Rovers forum compared to FC one if your sad enough.

You deciding to change the topic because you realised you made a mistake.

Yet you said the same yourself. Oh, and hello again...

What does that make your pack of plodders then?

Well thank your lucky stars you have Cusack then mate.

You were entitled to say it was poor for me too.

our pack are cack!

Horne might not be as good full back as Birscoe thats why in my origional post i put Lee Smith as full back

You need someone to cover the backs on the bench and someone with the ability LIKE horne to cover 1-7 would be a great assest

I would ideally have Leon Pryce on the bench but i can't think of a better 6
