That was 5 years ago he is now twice the size he was then as he has bulked up for loose/hooker.
He was never gifted with the largest amount of pace he now has even less.
Murrell is no longer a halfback he is a looseman.
Not being funny but it's like saying Lovegrove is still a centre.

Just pointing out no one was slagging him off when we only lost 2 games all season

But that is like comparing apples to oranges though mate.
In 2006 he was 5 years younger probably 2-3 stones lighter, he had played 6 all season and he was up against NL1 defenses.
Now he is bulked up for hooker, hasn't played consistantly in the halves never mind at 7 for years and is up against SL defenses.
Scott Murrell is no longer a HB even though yes he did use to be.

So why do we play him there then??????

Every one else can see it so why can't the man who is being paid to pick the team

Playing bell is all well and good but hes out for 8 weeks i think. Knee injury.
Id like to see sheriffe given a go at fb

if bell is injured then it has to be patchwork stuff, bit bab in the short term but if thats how it is we have to make do.

i personally would play green at 7, galea at 6 and murell at 13

Marker defence wasnt too bad tonight.
4 tries came from the missed out flat pass to a big forward (Soliola,LMS x2 Graham) crashing over from cloase range.
Roby was on fire had much to do with that.
The Foster try was through Lomax running the power play on the 5th but Wellens try was soft letting Gardner break through on a kick return.

Perhaps Cas kids are better quality then Rovers have.
The saying if your good enough your old enough has to meet both criteria.

Our defence been quite embarrassing for the majority of the season, all I have heard about is how bad we are missing Dobson and Newton. Well guess what, scoring points is not the real problem.

Sherriff was outstanding for the under 20s last night and i have no doubts that he is going to be our full back for many years to come. However, its not the ability side of the game that would make me wary about him or some of the other young kids for that matter. Its the physical aspect of the game. Sherriff had one high impact collision with Kyle Eastmond last night and came away looking as though his world had ended.
I would give him another couple of months in the 20s and then send him out on loan to a Championship club in readiness to take over from Briscoe next year.

You make a key point that is overlooked by many.
Sheriff im sure would be okay at this stage of his development in the odd game or so.
Its the physical demands that he would struggle with game on game.

Is brisco leaving then
