True. I am sure Russell will go on to be a fine player but as things stand he is very raw.

patto couldnt agree more every team has a scape goat and it appears you boys are blaming the last 3 games that you havent won on russell which is a joke!! the lad must have something if rumour has it that teams in oz are after him! the kid will be a super league player without doubt! he has played for england at his level and looking on twitter bobbie goulding called him the 3rd best english full back behind wello and sam! but hey what does he know!

I agree, time is on his side.

People are definitely not blaming the kid!! Like most say he has talent but still has a lot to learn, I mean come on if he was that good he would not be loaned to us to start with. He has the potential to turn into a very good player but still has a lot to learn

Third best English full back? Has Goulding been mainlining ouzo?

Compared to russell he was. Excellent at coming into the line. We are really missing him

i agree bet lynch but sam is without a doubt the best full back in the world at the minute the way he is playing so its difficult for him to get in there. He does have a lot to learn but my post earlier said that it would be easier if your experienced players stepped up! I honestly believe that that has been your biggest problem these last 3 games!

1. Patto? Whose that?

2. Nobody is blaming the last 3 performances on Matty.

3. Gobby Boulding is a complete numpty.

He's showing signs of needing a rest. Only 18 and in a pivotal position, not quite ready yet. Personally I would play Horne there once fit, get him ready for next season.

Reece Lyne!



Seriously though, it's a good point and I don't know who unless they use Whiting there which I would hope we avoid doing.

It certainly has, Matty moves well and has good footwork,however his decision making needs to improve which I am sure it will with more experience.

Rumour has it we are getting Kearney and Holdsworth.

1 patto is patto 2524 a poster on here

2 Ok maybe i read the posts wrong!! im still not sure that if mckinnon was there you would have won the last 3 games maybe that makes more sense!!

3 bit harsh on goulding pretty sure he knows more than all us put together on here

No he's not, Slater is.

Not what I would have hoped for, but better than we have, I suppose.

And yet he comes out with garbage like that. How odd.

well thats your opinion

I see you are a new poster, welcome, can I just say if you want to respond to some-one just press the quote feature in the bottom right hand corner of their post mate, that is how people can respond to individual posts.

Think that will be the case with most of our recruitment. Names likes Watts, Crookes, Lovegrove, Elima, Kearney, Holdsworth are good but not outstanding.

1. I worked that out 5 seconds after posting it



2. Agreed but he would have probably been in a better position to make a positive contribution when needed.

3. Goulding is all gob. No way is Russell only behind Wellens and Tomkins.

Thank you very much!!

No worries mate

Tomkins is the best player in SL but Slater is better.

This.

Tomkins is a great player but he isn't a patch on Slater at the minute. Nor is he as good as the likes of Brett Stewart or Darius Boyd. Tomkins can do things them 3 can't do but overall as a fullback he has abit to go to be up there with the likes of them imo.

Let's just hope those that sign actually want to be here and that Gentle can get the best out of them.
