Didnt Hall have a mare on the right wing opposite Richards at Wigan?



Chance to make amends I suppose.

Quite like Tansey,the fright he gives me is when he runs with the ball wafting it in front of him.

Just watched the derby highlights again on SLTV and Tom Briscoe had no right to make that tackle. And he wouldn't have needed to if Tansey had dealt with the danger of the mid-field bomb leading to up it. That wasn't the only one he missed or didn't attempt to take and any one of them could have proved very costly. He's undoubtedly an exciting talent with ball in hand, but bordering on a liability at times at the back.

No mention of Whiting's two defensive misreads that lead directly to Rovers tries?

Think Yeaman had the misread of the night

His tackle on Newton was a shocker. Their first try was caused by Yeaman jumping out of the line, and their last one occurred when the Rovers player stepped between Manu and Houghton, I think.

The point is, Whiting is generally sound defensively. He makes the odd error - everybody does - but Tansey makes far too many. Under the high ball particularly he's inconsistent at best. I think Tansey is an excellent player - he has pace, skill, guile and the ability to produce something from nothing. I just don't think he's a full back.

With genius always comes madness!
He is gifted in parts and neanderthall in others but to say he is GB class is a way off yet !!

For once we agree. He drops the ball more than Motu Tony

Oh god...you have started it off now...5...4...3...2...1

He is at present our number one attacking weapon and has been involved in some our of most attractive play this season.

I can forgive the odd blunder as he is a risk taker, but he needs to work on his concentration (such as the stray pass to Whiting in the derby).

All in all though he's been a breath of fresh air and I'm glad he's at the club.

I think he was at FB when we were defending because whiting's defence is better. Doubt he'll change it for this week

I would happily bet a large wedge of money with you that it does change this week

Not sure the Tansey to SH change worked tbh. Either way he will be back at fullback now and Washy will play in the halves.

Broken arm is no excuse

I think in light of his broken arm, we can forgive him being a little tentative in the tackle now lol!!!

GET RID !!!! only joking

Excites. Would far rather he was playing for us than against us. Makes costly errors but believe when & if he calms downs will mature into a natural leader & world class. His unpredicatability generates an air or anticipation that adds to the excitement.

i agree. if we had a fully fit squad then he'd be my no.1 choice for FB

rich horne was a good FB but he is my no.1 choice for stand-off

tansey has potentially many years of game time to play FB and his daft errors will reduce with experience

Well, Tansey provided me with another fright night I'm afraid. I appreciate that he can be exciting with the ball in hand, but there really is no excuse for some of the mistakes he comes up with.

Not making touch from a penalty is inexcusable and the amount of times he gets it wrong under the high ball is becoming tiresome.

TANSEY for england your avin a larrrrfffffffff aint ya, why you think leeds of loaded him..............

Oh good look who's here to brighten our day.

Surely it's evening in sydney?

It's 17.30 bud.
