| Quote ="Paul Youane"Did GOB not put enough height into his 40m winning drop goal at Hull?'"
As I said in my message, after the game. He would have scored the goal if he was on the halfway line, given the height above the cross bar, as the ball went over.
With regards to our halfbacks, O`Brien, is easily our best kicker. Ratchford & Bridge can both kick, but are hit & miss. Ratchford should be left at fullback, where his ability can be maximised, with the extra room he has got there.
There is possibly a case (In the future), for Bridge to be selected at half to complement O`Brien......However, we are currently undefeated in the league.
We have just lost a very close game to a team with WORLD class halfbacks. If Joel had scored the 2 trys that he missed, then the game would probably have been ours.
In past seasons he would have bagged both of those, & all the doom merchants on here would have been celebrating the win.

| I'm not doom mongering imo.
My opinion on Myler has been consistent since he came.
He fitted a role benefiting from Briers on the left and Bridge was technically his go to man if Lee ran a play other than kicking to the corner for Joel or Hicks.
Bridge was in practice the the stand off in a right centre position and Briers a scrum half.
A positional understanding betwen them something like Sean Long and Jamie Lyons had.

| End of the day, the hb's performances did not lead to us losing. What cost us the game was unnecessary mistakes; knock ons and silly offloads. We got punished by a quality side. Against Salford and FC we could afford to make those mistakes.
Please remember that we're only 2 SL games into the season.

| Myler has a decent short kicking game, anything from the oppositions 30 back to our in goal and i worry about it.
GOB is 'almost' there, he just has a little something missing, not sure what it is but we really need to persevere with him as he needs the experience similar to an early career Briers.

| Gareth O'Brien has come on leaps and bounds since middle of last season, starting to gain more confidence each week and his defensive game has improved massively, referring to him as GOB is a tad pathetic though, along the lines of Micky Mac, Sam and KC.

| Lets pretend GOB is an expensive Aussie - that will improve his game no end. Whatever some of our home grown lads do, they will never be good enough for a lot of of our fans -
Chris Riley is a prime example - he was continually exposed defensively by Atkins positional play yet scored buckets of tries - still not good enough
GOB is doing a damn good job for us at the minute - he is as brave as they come, has a decent turn of speed, his offensive kicks do produce tries, his long kicking game is not that bad and he is a kicker of goals.
6 points between the teams on Friday - certainly not down to GOB, a few others need to look at their own decision making though

Agreed fully. GOB is one of our hottest properties right now and will only get better. The amount he's improved in the last 9 months proves that.

A capital letter P in the word please is missing as is a full stop after the abbreviation use of TS.
The use of "" around Tony Smith are not required as you are not quoting anyone as the use of TS is the quote and requires the "".
Tony is also in effect an abbreviation of Anthony.
Other than that "the boy done good".

the last thing I am, is a keyboard warrior....I enjoy having a laugh, and, giving my opinion on the game/team I love.
What I don't do, is
backslap (endlessly)
argue (when I'm obviously wrong)
give countdowns to events at 2 in the morning, when there's only 3 people on-line
and generally wind-up 80% of the posters on here.
Prediction for you.
You'll be 370 posts ahead of me, by the season's end (at latest). If not, I'll polish a unicorn's horn, and clean a leprechaun's shoes
