I didn't think you were.

'...could be bothered to check my old posts' was meant in a 'obviously you won't, because life is too short', rather than a 'why haven't you done your research?' kind of way.

Cheers.

Edit


Still could be a moderate SL hooker IMO. Would make me wonder why we had let K. Netherton go, though. I don't want Rovers to sign him, as I think we do now have to start promoting from within for those 'value for money' positions in the squad, at least.

If you played Lee at hooker he would do well for you or most other SL clubs, would do a better job than Fitzhenry at hooker.

And you're basing that on....... what exactly? Tommy Lee's previous impressive displays at hooker or "utility player" Daniel Fitzhenry's 2 spells at hooker this year?

I'd prefer his firestarting mate Bruce

Not funny.

Absolutely no need for that

Regarding replacing Cookie, I'd like to see Chaz I'Anson get a chance but we're more likely to see Rhys Lovegrove start at 6 given Justin's recent selections!

I'anson at Loose, Murrell at stand-off? There'd be less disruption if I'anson slotted in at 6, but I like Murrell at stand-off.

It's a perfect opportunity to see how I'Anson would fit in alongside Dobson at half back.

Leave Murrell @ 13 cos we need some continuity to start getting some rythm in our play.

I think Scotty will do well with Dobbo in the halves if given the nod, I think one play maker is enough and Scotties strength and physical attributes could pay off with Dobsons distribution and kicking game.

Surely thats enough to drive anybody to drink?

Youre not allowed to mention the words drive and drink in the same sentence about Cooke are you?

The thread is about Cooke not playing on Friday and the 2 doubts.
Thank You.

1 Pivot is not enough in the National Conference, never mind SL.
Most clubs play with 3 now, Rovers would struggle with just 1. However with Dobson, AN Other at 6 and Murrell at 13 you have 3 pivots and fit into the style most clubs play.

It is finding a 6 that is the issue mate.

No he wouldn't, at all.

Scott, we know we asked you to put on 13 stone to become looseforward but you've got 5 days to lose it as you are playing standoff next week.
For ****s sake we have a standoff, he's called I'anson. So ****ing use him.

Why would a 13 have to be heavier than a 6?

I would imagine Cooke is heavier than Murrell and if not pretty close!!

I know someone who is nearly 17 stone and makes kids look stupid in training when he plays 6

Come on, slight exaggeration and you know it. Murrell was a stand off but weight trained to become a loose forward.

My point was to leave hin there. We have other options.

Well said mate.

Being successful is not just about personnel, it's about continuity - play a player position and leave him there (as long as he's performing) and if he gets injured replace like for like instead of ing about tinkering with the team otherwise we will just end up going in circles having inconsistent performances.

Continuity brings consistency and consistency brings success...

Just get the feeling that Morgan wants a team thats adaptable. Some positions can allow that but others cant. I'anson is a direct replacement for Cooke, make it so, otherwise a promising player will get pi$$ed off very quickly.
Does it matter if he bombs? We wont get relegated on the back of one result. Its not Celtic, its Saints after all. Give the youngsters a chance.

I can see what you was getting at but it still does not answer the question of why someone would have to put weight on to play 13.

If a lad is a spot he will get spotted so his size would not effect his defence wherever he is in the line because a good side would run over him on the wing or in the middle of the park.

In good ball the chance of a 6 or 13 needing to power over the line is slim and therefore surely he would be better being lighter to use his feet to evade tackles?

Just my thoughts like

You been reading that coaching manual again

I took a break from pleasuring DP and listened to him on the phone to someone ha ha

You might as now bothered replying, I could have guessed what you biased post would ahve said, before you typed it.

Lee is a decent hooker, we have tow very good hookers in front on him at Hull at the moment, most of your fans know that Fitzhenry isnt a hooker and Fisher's form has been poor recentley.
