Re: Danny Richardson
I feel sorry for Richardson. Our forwards are kids or playing garbage. There's no size, no punch, no domination in the middle of the park. Our attack is flat as a fart at times.
We badly need some size back and some people who can take the ball up alongside Watts.
He is a player that operates on space and speed in attack. Defensively he's weak but he's not getting anywhere in both ways at the moment, due to injuries and not recruiting for a plan B.

Re: Danny Richardson
Definitely agree hudds. Richardson has puddings like Griffin, peachy and Jsl in the pack that make no yards what so ever

I partly agree. However a beaten pack doesn’t make your halfback:HuddsTigers wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 23:52 I feel sorry for Richardson. Our forwards are kids or playing garbage. There's no size, no punch, no domination in the middle of the park. Our attack is flat as a fart at times.

Kick straight to the fullback on 4 occasions in the first half.
Pass it to Holmes on the last tackle. What on earth was that about?
Put a grubber into touch in the 2nd half when you’re 2 scores down!
Those are all things where it doesn’t matter if you’re playing behind 20 stone props or 10 stone ones, you’ve got the ball, you’ve got a few seconds to execute it properly, you’re calling the shots and it’s up to you to get it right.
Then there’s deciding to run it in like he’s a prop, by all means go to the line and dummy it seeking the gap....but don’t just run it in like you’re Adrian Morley especially against a big side like Hull.
He gave one of the worst passes I’ve ever seen where it went behind 2 players. Wouldn’t mind if the players were the other side of the pitch but he was literally 15ft away from them!
I feel for the guy, I really do, he’s clearly not in a good place but he’s being paid (probably) good money to do a job. He doesn’t create much , his kicking has gone downhill, poor defence, not very vocal, runs it in like he’s a 20 stone prop. Sorry but he’s the worst half I’ve seen at Cas since Sean Rudder. I’d much prefer us to give an academy half a go or even get in a solid experienced ‘been there done that’ Championship player for the rest of the season like Sammut.

Even in the games we've had a stronger pack and back line playing hes just not good enough in attack or defence.
There's a reason Saints got rid and I now believe Cas and Powell have seen it too.

Give George Williams a ring. He’s sat twiddling his thumbs.
Ask him if he wants to come play for the CC finalist until the end of the season.
Stranger things have happened.

Re: Danny Richardson
Are we saying that O’Brien should really just be a back up then if we are looking for a top half back to replace Richardson?
Re: Danny Richardson
I'd be happy with Truey and GOB as starting halfs next year

Re: Danny Richardson
One thing I will say and which [REMOVED] me off watching the game back, was how many times the commentators mentioned he was surplus to requirement for next year. That can't be nice for his family watching at home, hearing that every time he touches the ball. Pretty unprofessional IMO, regardless of what we think about his performances.

Re: Danny Richardson
Fair comment
Re: Danny Richardson
Yesterday was a perfect chance for him to prove a point and he did in emphatic style. It was probably the worst individual halfback performance since the Sean Rudder days. He made Jamie Ellis seem like Andrew Johns. The lad has proved time and time again that he isn’t good enough whether that is behind either a beaten pack or a dominant one and he has to be the worst defender in the league bar none. I’d imagine he is in our top ten earners as well so if there is anyone out there willing to take him then we should snatch their hand off.

Re: Danny Richardson
Had to laugh at the end of the game when Wattsy saw DR ignored him, ran the line across the defence, dummied then dropped of Oggy for a smiple score, something DR had failed to do at any point in the previous 79 minutes.
As a previous poster said, this was a definate chance for DR to stake a claim as the starting number 7, he was poor from start to finish, and whilst I totally agree that its made significantly tougher behind a beaten pack, I actually thought our pack held its own for long parts of the game last night, so I'm not buying that as an excuse.
Sorry to say it, hoped he would grow into the role, but at the moment if he went I wouldnt loose any sleep over it.

Can I respectfully nominate Peter Coyne as worst ever half back signing? He was even slow at the checkout in GT Smith's in Kippax.Askham Tiger wrote: ↑11 Jun 2021, 06:11I partly agree.

Re: Danny Richardson
Coyne and Rudder. Imagine that pairing!
Horrendously slow and predictable.
Definitely among worst I have seen.

Re: Danny Richardson
I feel bad bagging him but he really is not SL level from what I have seen. I was never particularly impressed with him at Saints. I've said it before: I hope he makes me look like an idiot and have to eat my own words but I just can't see it.
