Aspinwall

Post by ChrisA »

I dont want to single him out, but the guy has to go. He hasnt got a clue what hes doing in attack, his vision is as poor as ive seen in a player, his passing is bad.

Over the last 2 weeks he has made 2 massive errors that potentialy cost us the macth.

London game, last week he wasted a 3 on 2 overlap which would have given Dalls open field with only a few minutes left. He came inside just as Melling passed, why he came inside I will never know as the gaps where down the centres where he was running and he had Dalls outside, all he had to do was the basics and more than likey Dallas would have scored, but he came inside into where all the defenders where just as Melling passed, needless to say i was on the top note calling him every name under the sun.

Tonight he wasted a definate score by overrunning Orr's long ball, over running the ball is a sin for an outside back, good ball is what they should live for, what they shouldnt be doing is standing flat when we are in attack like he did tonight, Moran went absolutely mental at him and carried on until well after the scrum had broke, quite rightly aswel.

With players like him inside good wingers like we have, we are just wasting their ability.

Agree, he is one of the players we have to let go. He is just not doing it for us.

We'd have been better off keeping Hodgson and that tells you a lot. He didn't look too bad at full back the other week.I never have any expectation of Aspinwall making a break and putting his winger in the clear.

We can't hope to become a decent side without 2 new quality centres. We haven't had a decent one since Renouf.

DROP ASPIN_IDIOT! put sean gleeson in at centre - I know he's young but at least he (apparently) knows what being a centre is about and has an ounce of Skill!

He has to go, if he cant get in the second row dont just shove him in the centre, he was flipping useless yesterday in attack and especially defense, ok carney isnt the best defender in the world but leaving him on his own to deal with 2/3 men when wilds nowhere to be seen. Theres no harm in giving gleeson and ashton a run out next week, they can do no worse than wild at the moment!

Last night, do you not think it might have been a crap ball from orr that was meant for Dallas,which Dallas overan? and last week if the ball from Melling had gone to Dallas, that also would have been a try.
You'd better get used to Aspinwall, as Millward rates him highly and as everybody was so keen to get him here to turn everything round like magic,he must know what a good player he is!

No, it was obvious who it was intended for and the reaction of Moran afterwards confirmed it.

Another not so convincing performance from Tickle again though, was hoping this season he'd step up a gear, and really asert himself, but he blows hot and cold
