I really felt sorry for the guy tonight.On one occasion(and there where quite a few)when the players where stood behind the post's he was stood by himself as if to say "what the fook's going on here".At the end he was walking around clapping the fan's who stayed behind,again on his own.Not many of the players came out of todays game with any credit but he did.

He's Radfords only success story this year. He could sit out the rest of the season now and would still be our player of the year by a country mile.

Towering effort yet again, with wrist injury too and 5 day turnaround. Captain next year, please.

Agreed. Much better suited to the role than Ellis or Houghton.

Just so important to everything we do.

He is. I was very critical of the guy at the beginning of the season as I felt he had been a big let down in his time here. But he has really changed my opinion of him this year. Him and Shaul are our stand out players by miles.

Some of us could see it in him years ago!

That's fair enough. I'm happy to eat humble pie where Westy is concerned.

Im assuming all you posters didnt go last night, he was gash, he missed some big tackles. Needs his ego bringing in. I'm a fan of him, i like him, he's got potential to be our Farrell. But at the moment hes 50% of what he could be

The [size=150ONLY[/size player who deserved a clap was Shaul.

And for the blind, he (Shaul) did walk round taking the applause.

Most tackles, most carries, most metres and most offloads.

Carry on.

Yes, there's an old saying. There's none so blind as those who will not see.

Keep those posts up

SO what do your stats refer to? season or last night?


How many missed tackles?

Read my post, it was aimed as Westerman last night, he was garbage, so were another 15 players

Maybe you'll post (again) and try and blame it all on Horne eh?

WTF!?
Unbelievable. He was massive. If he missed tackles then he was probably covering for someone who hadn't made an effort. We were outclassed , outplayed , outmuscled and outthought last night but Westerman and Shaul matched Wigan with no help from the rest of their team mates.

Or do you mean "not allowed an opinion as a top 5 poster is the only one who is allowed an opinion, and everyone should hang on to their coat tails."

Quick, find a timley boost before next week.

Frep lives in a parallel universe. It's probably best to not get drawn into it.

The only person on this entire forum who even notices post counts is you.

Last night. Westerman had most tackles, most metres, most carries and most offloads. LAST NIGHT.

Interesting you should mention Horne, 5 missed tackles, got caught with ball in hand on last tackle, 3 errors and kicked poorly.

Our right side was simply terrible. Horne, Whiting, Crookes & Crooks missed 17 tackles between them.

Westerman is the most important player we have. I thought he was a right princess in his first two seasons, but last year and this he's been the dog's bollox. Visible passion is a rare commodity too right now and he has it in spades. Give him the armband.

Thanks for the advice Kosh.

Watching the game I thought Crooks and Horne made some decent 1v1 tackles to prevent a break being made.

On the subject of Westy, he only missed tackles because he was running allover the pitch following the play and covering for everyone else's shiite attempts.

He had a good dig last night but his effectiveness was similar to the rovers game. He plays close to the line and needs runners but got little or no support last night. More than once I saw hum get up to play the ball and look around wondering where the hell his support had been

Our play of the ball was a joke, the dummy half looked round to see a bunch of "players" grouped, doing nothing, no lines, no options. I dont know why they were wondering where the support was, there never is with one man rugby.

I sometimes watch them and think wtf have they been doing in training all week. I have only ever played the game to a modest level, and I have never coached, I don't profess to be an expert of rugby league by any means. But I can tell you that off the ball movement isn't rocket science, if the ball is near you, expect that you are going to get it. Pick a gap, run into it with your hands out, and convince a defender that you are going to get the ball, whether you are going to receive it or not. It doesn't all have to be about set plays and structured attack, just make an effort. Too many players just stand with their thumb up their when we are attacking.

The thing that got me most last night, was the apparent lack of effort. For all the defeats this season, I don't think you could question commitment, but last night to me looked lacklustre and half hearted. Some players don't deserve their paychecks this week
