But I actually agree that we need to try Rankin and Aston

Would even try trueman at fullback played there before move pete up to centre aston rankin halfs. Edan back to wing any thing worth trying at moment to improve backline attack .

Re: Aston/ rankin
Definitely think Trueman needs a break. He’s had a lot of pressure on young shoulders lately and it’s showing. Turner fullback, Mata’utia into centres with Blair, Eden/Minikin on the wings and Aston/Rankin in the halves for me.
Re: Aston/ rankin
Your missing the point we need to try rankin and aston at halfs trueman ia doing nothing in half's. Always thought trueman would make better fullback then half back.the machine wrote:Got turner or Rankin for fullback if we move Pete

Re: Aston/ rankin
He's not that productive because 1. He's knackered from being exposed to so much rugby at a young age in a pivotal position and 2. Because he's missing having gale take the reigns and give him the freedom his game needs at this pointflow wrote:Your missing the point we need to try rankin and aston at halfs trueman ia doing nothing in half's.

Moving him to fullback wouldn't solve anything

Re: Aston/ rankin
I disagree with you should be peaking at his age i think its a simple case he as being over rated and not that creative never sends any body through a gap or takes line on.the machine wrote:He's not that productive because 1.

A half back peaking at 20?

Where was Luke Gale at 20?
Not saying Trueman is going to be a superstar. He might be, he might not be. But it’s far too early to tell yet.
PS - the answer is playing in the third tier at Doncaster.

Re: Aston/ rankin
Exactly. He is just getting burned out. He hasn't done much wrong but barring his short kicking game he is not being as productive as we desperately need our halves to be. None of them are creating much. 1, 6, 7 or 9.the machine wrote:He's not that productive because 1. He's knackered from being exposed to so much rugby at a young age in a pivotal position and 2.

Re: Aston/ rankin
He defiantly shouldn't be peaking as a half back at just turned 19? Also he was tried at full-back last year don't know if you remember that flow
He needs taking out the side it was same in my day as it is now you bring young fellas along leave them out bring them back he's had everything plonked on his shoulders with a full back who as no idea how to time a pass and put players in space wingers and centres who are not of the highest order shall we say
Aston needs to play and given some licence to show some tricks with Rankin who can do things off the cuff
Weather's turning to summer and we can't keep playing one man rugby may as well throw ball about unless Powell thinks there's a risk we might be relegated and wants to keep trying to grind out wins

Re: Aston/ rankin
Stating the obvious Trueman is only in the team due to injuries.
Certainly for me stood up very well early in the season.
Never shirks a tackle.
Goodness knows where we would have been had we not had him.
He seems to have lost some of his effectiveness.
How much is due to poor support.?
He may be a man, age wise just, but young to have so much responsibility.
The lad could probably do with a rest,if we can afford the luxury.
After all that is why we have a squad.
Certainly not one for public hanging!

Re: Aston/ rankin
Why people useing is age because showing nothing is beyond me if your not physicaly good enough at twenty you never going to be at the halfs position totally different from being a forward.That want even the post it was should we play aston and rankin in halfs because trueman is not performingbane73 wrote:It's a bit of a strange comment I'll give you thatSREGITSAC wrote:The notion that any professional sports player would peak at 20 in hilarious, continue to be convinced that these posts are pure satire

Luke Gale wasn’t “physically good enough” at 20 and was playing for Doncaster in the lower leagues.
