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. He hasn’t had too bad of a career, has he?flow wrote: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

Peaking at 20flow wrote: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.

Moving him to fullback wouldn't solve anything

Re: Aston/ rankin
If players peak at 20 nowadays, that means 99% of our squad are past their best.
Better sell them all and start again. That Luke Gale - past his prime now!

Re: Aston/ rankin
Remember a certain Roger Millward, made his debut at 16 years of age. Transfered to Hull KR at 18 years of age, at 20 years of age he was the leading points scorer for KR, helping them win the Yorkshire Cup, also made debut for Great Britain at 17. Obviously not at his peak , but shows what can be achieved at an early age. Malcolm Reilly was only just turned 20 when winning his first Challenge Cup medal. Age is no barrier in sport as long as they are good enough.SREGITSAC wrote:The notion that any professional sports player would peak at 20 in hilarious, continue to be convinced that these posts are pure satire
Re: Aston/ rankin
You got a feeling 10 YEARS AGO that Gale was more physically fit then as opposed to now. Look at photos comparing then and now and you will clearly see that PHYSICALLY Luke is I’m far superior shape now to then. He didn’t get a break at Leeds as he was behind the GB halves with the GB captain moved into the halves to cover injuries!!! Surely even you can see that you’re now just posting tosh?flow wrote:i got a feeling gale was more physically fit at twenty then he is now just never got a break. difference gale always had that creativity and good at reading a game which trueman as notFumper27 wrote:Luke Gale wasn’t “physically good enough” at 20 and was playing for Doncaster in the lower leagues.

Re: Aston/ rankin
Peak suggests you’re at the top and then it’s all down hill... people develop at different rates... the fact you pull Millward out the archives shows that being at the top of your game at young age is the exception not the rule.fast hands wrote:Remember a certain Roger Millward, made his debut at 16 years of age.

Trueman is good, he has a lot to do in a team that changes week in week out. I’d like to see him rested but by no means think he should be out of the team long term.

Re: Aston/ rankin
This is what the Forum is about, peoples opinions. As you will have noticed, I didn't say either of those two didn't peak at a young age, but both commanded respect at a young age. As did Lee Crooks, Shaun Edwards, the list is long. That's why I feel sorry for Jake, those I mentioned had experience around them, he hasn't anyone on the pitch to help him, and he looks lost at times.SREGITSAC wrote:Peak suggests you’re at the top and then it’s all down hill... people develop at different rates... the fact you pull Millward out the archives shows that being at the top of your game at young age is the exception not the rule.fast hands wrote:Remember a certain Roger Millward, made his debut at 16 years of age.

He is a victim of circumstance this year, for sure. He would be completely different had we fielded a consistent team this year.fast hands wrote:This is what the Forum is about, peoples opinions.

Re: Aston/ rankin
Was thinking same flowflow wrote:Is it time to try different halfs trueman needs dropping for me not cutting the mustard.needs a kick up ass. Cant be any worse trying rankin and aston
Re: Aston/ rankin
Peaking? Don’t talk daft. But he should be developing and due to over-exposure this season he isn’t doing. Time for him to have a break.
Re: Aston/ rankin
Sorry Rankin for me with the chances given as not impressed ,Trueman by far the better player the lads form as took a dip but you could say that about a number of our players see a settled squad you will see a different Trueman
