One of our best players this year yes.

Just wonder why you seem to think an “Islander” is the right way to go?

What does an Islander bring? Name a player, not a nationality.

Very odd.

Also did I get it right about you wanting us to sign Atoni for 24?

It's pretty obvious, unless you wanna be a d!ck about it, what an Islander type of centre is. The games has been and is littered with them - in fact there was a good one playing against your bff tonight. I'll not name him, but you'll know who I mean. How? Because he's a stereotypical "islander" type centre.

I actually thought Antoni was good Vs Salford last week. Not sure if you watched that game , but he looked much improved from the guy I saw play against Wigan. I'll admit however, he's not been as good as I thought he would be. He was excellent Vs Leeds in pre-season & I bought too much into the hype.

Look at that I've changed my opinion of a player, based off what I've seen with my own eyes - imagine that. I mean it would have been a lot easier to make up some convoluted lie
about "how his game is about the stuff you don't see", but it's just simpler to say he's not as good as I hoped.

How did the “Islander” do tonight for Salford?

Are there not plenty of other nationalities playing the game at a high level?

Should we disregard Australian or Kiwi players etc because they are not “Islanders”.

King was the best centre on the field tonight despite a presence of an “Islander” so I’m confused by your stance.

Re: Wardle : Fri Mar 24, 2023 11:30 pm  

Agree with the points Jon.

I’m willing to give Wardle time. Think he’s the least of our worries.

Agree that King is doing well. Feel a bit sorry for him having to play wing as he’s no pace. He’s our best yardage ball carrier along with Marshall. Has an offload too.

Agreed we have issues of bigger concern I just think given his potential Wardle has been a little slow to adapt to his new surroundings.

Wardle and King both been underwhelming so far I hope both improve or else time to hook ‘em out and get Thornley back in the side but time yet.

Re: Wardle : Sat Mar 25, 2023 1:31 am  

I agree with the consensus that King has done pretty well, and Wardle hasn't shown too much so far. But there's plenty to work on as far as our attacking shape, or lack of it, is concerned.

Re: Wardle : Sat Mar 25, 2023 6:06 am  

The problem for our centres is that the ball never goes past the second rowers. Very rarely do they get any quality ball in good position.

Sorry yes. Edited.

Totally disagree with this yeah might not have been his best game last night but we don’t get 2 points at Huddersfield last week if it wasn’t for Wardle

We hit Farrell almost every single time we go to the left. I’m not bagging Wardle yet he’s pretty solid even without hitting top form. We are too reliant on Farrell punching holes that way.
