Dobbo (yesterday) reckoned Capewell won't be risked, and Riki is unlikely despite being named. No prizes there. He's also tipping Paix to make a surprise appearance.

At the expense of who?

When off the bench Kennedy makes tackles too but he also makes metres which James doesn't. If James does in fact start this will be the right way to use him I believe. He's had three weeks to show us he can go forward and it hasn't happened. I did call for this, for James to start because I do think it's the best way to get metres out of him. There's no excuse this week, James must make metres. I would not be surprised if he actually does either.

Who said anything about Kennedy?

All I did was highlight the hypocrisy in why those excuses were somehow OK for Boyd, but not James, especially as James is actually contributing on one side of the ball.

Hypocrisy? What has Boyd got to do with it? I think you have a very twisted and distorted memory of Boyd because Boyd's talk etc was never something I mentioned (I don't think I did at least) I didn't think Boyd was a problem in defence.

James is delivering Turpin style and no one on here seems happy with that, no one except you. I gather you're happy with Turpin because he's contributing 'on one side of the ball'. Me, I'd rather my bench prop contributing on 'both sides of the ball', ya know? Actual metres like

I would actually prefer if every member of the side was contributing on both sides of the ball.

Walters is happy with him, he's obviously doing something right.

I don’t care about James, Boyd, Turpin, Kennedy or anyone else.

Like I said, when people were excusing Boyd for contributing shit numbers because he was a good communicator or a good leader (which I still doubt, as the proof really is in the pudding), why weren’t you criticising him like you are James? Indeed, you, unlike almost every other person who saw Boyd’s final few seasons, thought his contributions were good, to the point you declared he was one of our best. The bloke was a passenger, a meme, yet somehow you thought he was good. You defended Boyd for the same things you’re criticising James for now.

There’s your hypocrisy.

But if you still don’t understand how you’re being a hypocrite, to use a Huge-ism: like Isaako, Boyd and every other plodder (like James is) you’ve defended, Walters keeps selecting James (like Barrett and Stuart before him and like Holbrook just did with Isaako - remember the old thread you reignited on Tuesday because Isaako was selected by Holbrook…), so he obviously sees something in him.

Why comment on something that is just an opinion? It's not mandatory. I don't give a **** about James's talk. I do care that he's only produced 107 metres in over an hour and three quarters of first grade. Absolutely appalling returns. I prefer my bench forwards to actually go forward and on this very forum you yourself have moaned about a lack of go forward when the starting props go off.

Care to comment on that? Why you're suddenly silent and apparently satisfied with talk and leadership which are now more important than genuine go forward? **** that shit, I expect forwards getting 35 minutes a game to knock out metres and give time and space for our points men.

I have, remember when I said neither should be in our top 17? You didn't reply to that either.

So you want us to try and play U20 style footy? Seems like a great idea.

What? No. If we score tries the ball is kicked to us and we get another set that we normally wouldn't get if we didn't score a try. I, in absolutely no way said that we shouldn't make tackles. Are you new to this sport or something?
 
Huge said:
Err, because it's been offered up as the excuse, I'm sorry the reason why he's in the team. People making excuses for his appalling lack of go forward have been saying it's his on field talk that is so valuable, his organisational skills blah blah that are the desired traits but I've never been one of them. Make metres, make tackles has been my preference. Clearly you have somehow misunderstood that.

Nobody has said this as a definitive reason. People have guessed that he's been there instead of your boy because of his leadership skills and other than that there's no reason either of them should be in our 17 but you won't discuss that because you want to go off on a dishonest tangent about his "talk". Nobody else even cares man. Neither of them should be there.
 
Johns makes an interesting comment here. He (and Fitler) think Selwyn should go to fullback (we already knew that), but adds the reservation that he doesn't talk. It's a little hard to tell whether he means Tesi or Selwyn, but I'm pretty sure it's Selwyn:



It looks like a problem right across the park to me, and might explain why they all seem to be playing their own games. There's clearly no communication between Staggs and Cobbo, Farnworth and Oates, or Tesi and anyone. Correct me if you think I'm wrong but I haven't detected any.

Perhaps someone who's been to a match this year might weigh in.
