Re: End of season run in
If you’d been asked at all he start of the season which club would beat Saints twice and win twice in France, would you have picked London?
Re: End of season run in
If London does go down who thinks Dixon would do a job for us I certainly do
Re: End of season run in
Would take kear or Dixon both give 100% solid enough and have decent bit of speed.
I can't help but look now and think if we had have got inu would we have been in a better places than Blair hope he comes on leaps and bounds over the pre season

I’d rather sign Lee Dixon. Far better defensively, even at his age.betts21 wrote:Would take kear or Dixon both give 100% solid enough and have decent bit of speed.

Re: End of season run in
i would like to see Blair on the wing if we are going to play him and keep Minikin in the centre Minikin as been our best centre over recent weeks, Blair as hardly broken any pots

Can't see Blair on the wing he looks the slowest player in SL apart from Millo, best he could do for Cas would be to wing his way back to Oz.gateman wrote:i would like to see Blair on the wing if we are going to play him and keep Minikin in the centre Minikin as been our best centre over recent weeks, Blair as hardly broken any pots
Re: End of season run in
Minikin has been a turnstile in defence at times this Season. Blair has already shown his vast experience at defending in the centre position in his dozen or so games.

Re: End of season run in
He was out for 4 weeks. The Saints game will be the 4th week since his injury. So I’d say he will be pushing for that if he can, if not the one after.gateman wrote:with three hard matches coming up whats the chance of Watts being able to play ??

Re: End of season run in
He said on tiger radio he would be back for the saints game if we still had something to play for. He’s back straight line running so should be ok. The broken finger wouldn’t keep him outHuddsTigers wrote:He was out for 4 weeks. The Saints game will be the 4th week since his injury.

Re: End of season run in
And for me, it infuriates me when people go on about the tries he’s not scored but in defence he’s been impressive. 1 try conceded in 2 games with 2 genuine centres in the team. If your not conceding you’ve always a chance.Fumper27 wrote:Minikin has been a turnstile in defence at times this Season.

Re: End of season run in
Thanks Braytontiger. Finally, someone who understands that good centre play is about more than running in a bucketful of tries and that stopping tries is just as, if not more, of a benefit to the outcome of gamesbraytontiger wrote:And for me, it infuriates me when people go on about the tries he’s not scored but in defence he’s been impressive. 1 try conceded in 2 games with 2 genuine centres in the team.

Re: End of season run in
It does help to be able to pass a ball when playing in the centres though, with Shenton playing on sunday Minikin would have had at least 2 walk in tries.Fumper27 wrote:Thanks Braytontiger.

Re: End of season run in
I mean Blair did pass the ball 3 times - he got pulled up for them being forward though, which without viewing the highlights, it's hard to judge whether it was right or not.Sharlotiger wrote:It does help to be able to pass a ball when playing in the centres though, with Shenton playing on sunday Minikin would have had at least 2 walk in tries.Fumper27 wrote:Thanks Braytontiger.

Re: End of season run in
My take on Blair is he doesn’t seem very athletic.i like him defensively and think he will improve in attack,just strikes me as not very athletic and mobile which I’m hoping will come with more fitness.

Bill Tupou isn't an athletic centre, but he's one of the best in the league.Scoopage wrote:My take on Blair is he doesn’t seem very athletic.i like him defensively and think he will improve in attack,just strikes me as not very athletic and mobile which I’m hoping will come with more fitness.
Re: End of season run in
if the first one to minikin was forward no excuse for that he had all time in the world but plenty near me thought it was a fare pass... the one were he tried to go himself i think he just wanted to score if hed all ready scored trys he would have just passed it on to minikin and he would have scored
if he relaxes as a good pre season we should see a good player next season

Re: End of season run in
When people on here going to admit so fare Blair being waiste off money rather had sarginson from Wigan. a centre who shows nothing in attack no good for are style off play cas should pay for his ticket home, I was right from day one when we signed him. Its all right saying he will come good next year he's shown nothing to show this Holmes looks more effective at centre and not even is position.braytontiger wrote:And for me, it infuriates me when people go on about the tries he’s not scored but in defence he’s been impressive. 1 try conceded in 2 games with 2 genuine centres in the team.
