Will someone teach him how to pass? On the rare occasion he decides to share the ball with his team mates he screws it up.

he was one of your best players tonight

He did indeed carry the ball very well and looked reasonably assured at FB. Bit greedy at times though.

well yeah i agree with that - im not a quins fan but theyve been on sky a few times and im always unsure to which quins team will turn up...

i thought Melling should of started at FB today though, i know your short but surely you had an academy half back instead of putting Gafa there

Agree 100%. I cannot fathom why BMcD did that. But of course he is always right according to some posters on here even when we get beat.

Both Skee and Gigot are half backs. I would have played either rather than Gafa. BM lost his bottle imo

Sharps a winger, nowhere near confident enough all round game to be a full back. Top marks for effort, but man he makes some unforced errors. If he could cut them out he'd be great. It was like watching Mark McLinden with buttered up hands today.

another example of the y threads that put me off posting here. sharp was very good tonight, stuck into a strange position, pillioried by his own "supporters"......well done Will

Commentary said he had suffered some sort of stomach upset prior to this game, well may be that's the answer to his recent dip in form, he needs a good dump before the game.

Impressed with his efforts tonight.

Thanks ever so much for your posting.

At least there are two of us who think our team played well this evening in the circumstances, including Will Sharp.

Make that three.

Not sure what people were really expecting from us this evening, apart from effort?? Skee didn't look too impressive when he came on and made some mistakes. To suggest he should have been our starting half back is crazy.
It sounds like some people on this site were expecting a Hollywood style game, where May or Skee score the winning try after the Hooter has finished having played like Jonathan Thurston on speed!

Not sure what half of what you are typing about..
But Sharp played well, I agree, he's played FB before, he needs to stop dropping the ball so much, its getting annoying. He makes unforced errors.
One of the times, imo, the ball got punched out. Unlucky there.
He was solid, made some good meters.
I dont agree about Skee with you, he isn't a natural hooker, he was used as hooker while Kaye needed a break. I would of been happy with Skee being our starting half back.
May had a solid game, made a few errors, but thats natural on his debut.

Question for you. Craig Wing. Half back or Hooker?

What relevance is comparing a player of Craig Wing's quality to Dylan Skee?

As someone else has posted, letting Skee start at SO would have been a major confidence boost. Comparing it to throwing him in when the team were clearly going to lose the match is completely different and pointless. I'd rather have him there than Matt "Turnstyle" Gafa who is one of our worst players now.

It's about position and not the individual. Is Craig Wing a half or a hooker?

He can play both. Whats your point?

Was Gafa that bad at Stand Off? I know he's played there several times before.

Yes. Last played there in 2004 apparently.

He can now. Never was a hooker. Never played hooker til he was forced to. Not a "natural" hooker.

Former London Bronco Jason Hetherington. Very average 5/8th with Gilly at the Gold Coast, goes to the bulldogs. Gets told to learn how to play hooker. Watches video after video of Steve Walters. Goes on to represent both Queensland and Australia at hooker.

Point is, people can move positions, people can adapt and in the case of the Quins player give em a chance whoever said he wasn't a natural hooker.

I don't dispute this. Some people can't though. You can't force people to be good in a certain position. In some cases is painfully obvious they won't be good in a certain position.

The reason the half time score was so reasonable was because we made very few mistakes and gave away very few penalties.
If Skee had started (and played for 60 minutes instead of 20), the number of knock on's, errors and interference at play the ball he would have committed would have been huge. This would have resulted in a cricket score against us.
Im not sure that any player would get any confidence from that at all!

And you base that on what?



Fantastic. I'd we'd have started Joe Mbu we would have won by 20 points. Because I said so and I know what would have happened in hypothetical situations.

Fair call.

Has this geezer only played part of a game once there though. If so, ain't it a bit harsh to write someone off so soon?

What if he was one of a few (from people's comments on here) who simply had a bad day at the office.

I agree, I don't think anyone knows enough about Skee at all to pass judgement tbh.
