| Quote ="WormInHand"As for Fox - strikes me that there'll be a reason for such a dramatic loss of form. Think Rovers are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, although I don't think it was Fox that made it murky in the first place. You don't lose skill like that. It's still there and will be back with the right treatment. Someone will pick up a cheap bargain, there.'"
Fox has never actually been that good IMO, and by all accounts is an out-and-out left winger. Why on Earth would we want him?

We wouldn't, given our current set-up. But the thought, as I said, did cross my mind. I think he is leaving because of the demands of Morgan, and Morgan will therefore stay at Rovers.
Fox will be a bargain for someone. I do rate him, and hope he comes back to bite Rovers on the harrassment. If Briscoe had developed as expected into a centre, I wouldn't have said no.

He's been a right winger at both Wakey and Rovers, I don't think I've ever actually seen him play on the left.

Paul Cullen and Jimmy Lowes both couldn't.
I agree with a few on here that fox will be a good signing for someone. His loss of form and confidence is baffling, he looked on top form in preseason yet he has crumbled visibly since, makes me wonder if there are other issues affecting him.

Off field issues def, the guy dosnt become a bad player overnight, if he gets his head back would take him over Sharp any day of the week.

He would be a better coach than what we have now, but I suspect a little long in the tooth and behind the times. Certainly had as good a record at Bradford Northern as Nobby.
Ah just read all the rest of the posts, you mean the player who is owned by Briscoe. Sorry I will get my coat.

Despite having the number 2 shirt he started off at left wing for Rovers. After he got picked for England he was moved to the right wing to 'help his selection chances' - presumably because he and/or Morgan thought he had a better chance of displacing Briscoe than Hall. Rovers fans consider this the start of his decline, and [url=http://www.hullkr.co.uk/all-right-on-the-left-for-centurion-fox-476 this article[/url indicates that he considers himself a natural left winger.

| To be fair Sharp is a left winger too . Its just a shame that the Coach never experimented with Briscoe on the right wing and Sharp outside Yeaman.

He started out on the right in 2008, with Fitzhenry on the left iirc. When Fitzhenry became a utility back/hooker in 2009, Fox switched to the left and Colbon came in to play right wing. Fox (eventually) made his 'proper' England bow against the Kiwis on the right, scoring a couple of tries in England's only decent result of the last few years. He and Colbon switched in 2010, as you say - he didn't tour but was still in SM's elite squad at the beginning of the season.
I think the wing switch was perhaps a contributory factor, but IMO it has mainly been a downward cycle of diminishing form and confidence. People like to pin things on a single thing for convenience, but life, even sport, is generally more complicated.
If it is true that we're looking to offload him, I'm surprised - he could easily bounce back next year. If he was ooc, it'd be different maybe.

What a myth that is, The Brother never said one word about McKinnon or Seymour. He did however announce Heremaia, but that's only because of Berro, who's ring piece The Brother was licking for the 3 years he was here.

Someone posted on here that the brother had told him seymour was signing days before it was announced.
Speaking of seymour, isn't he an australian in his mid 20's signing for a mid table SL side a year before the salary cap increase in Oz? No ambition that lad

| I know i can be a right negative get on here but come on guys, stop slating every player that weve got coming in. Its the Agar factor thats doing this to us all and we need to concentrate our efforts on making it known we want him gone and not just sitting back and slagging everything. A new coach and a couple of forwards for next season and we could quite easily become a top four side imo.

Yeah, course he did.
Has Seymour played regular NRL and proved that he can? Has Dobbo?

I could be wrong, but didnt Paul M mention that Seymour was siging a week before hand and quoted the Brother as his source?
