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
I think Tickle is one of the few players to offer any consistancy this season. I agree he wasn't so good last night but few players put in 100% of good performances all season. They all have the odd off game but we seem to have some players who can only mange the odd half of decent Rugby never mind a game full.
There are plenty of other suspects to have a go at long before Tickle IMO.

Fair point, Tickle has been prone to making a few errors and giving a few more penalties away than were used to seeing from him, but ovberall hes one of the few players who tries to hit gaps and hit the ball at pace, and he has been one of our better players, I still feel Hock is a better player though, but Tickles goal kicking could see him in the side over Hock next season, thats if we do re-sign Hock. Fletcher will play second row I think, along with Tickle or Hock and Lockers at loose, hopefully we sign a decent prop aswel.

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.
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!
If Aspinwall hadnt come inside, he would have taken the ball from Melling and put Dallas away, it was very basic stuff and he couldnt even figure that out. If you really think that Aspinwall is a good player then we view the game very diferently, to me he is garbage.
Regarding the inciondent last night, I was sat level and the ball dropped in the line where Aspinwall was running, the ball bounced well before it reached Dallas. And also as Daveo says, and I have said Morans reaction to him was enough to tell you whos fault it was.

We must have been sat fairly close together because that is exactly how I saw it. Moran was right to bawl him out.

do u not think tickle at 17 stone could play prop and dosnt fletcher kick
Richards seems like an extremely good kicker, he can do 60metre drop outs which would be very useful to us. Tickle could play prop he already has a few times this year and if he bulks up in the off season even more, as long as he doesnt lose what speed he has. Will be interesting to see the build of hock, prescott and o'loughlin next season.
