Dropping CA Really Works!!

[turf]

As every time (or more or less anyway) we do drop CA, we win.

My imagination or a coincidence.

CA defence is very poor.Richards impresed me tonigh at FB.He tackled every 1 on 1 he got.

Your imagination Turf. We win some, we lose some.

If we do pick him again it would be interesting to see what would happen if we played him at left wing. We could at time interchange between CA and Pat at fullback. So on attack, bring Ashton infield. When we are defending play Pat a FB.

Heard from two different sources at the match that Ashton won't play again for Wigan (one of my sources is very reliable). It's a shame really. He's a young lad and full of promise. He has a few attitude problems but nothing that couldn't be put right.

Why repair the car if you are trading it in in a couple of weeks and it won't affect the value. far better spend the money on the one you are keeping!!hc

One of the turning points in the 2nd half was the tackle 1 on 1 by Richards and he put the player into touch. Your always confident that Richards would get to him and tackle him.

Could you say that about CA.

The biggest drawback to playing Richards at fullback is that we have lost the benefit of his speed and height in attack on the left. I've not seen enough of Ashton's recent performances to know if they're really as bad as people say, but we still have problems with our attack even if we're now solving the defence. Huddersfield were not in the game for much of yesterday, yet despite absolutely masses of pressure and possession we've only scored two tries. We've scored a lot this year and last making use of the kick over towards Richards, but that route has gone now and we've not found an option to replace it. Most of our kicks are now left-to-right in the vain hope that Calderwood can manage to get on the end of a kick...

I'm not sure that we're really much better overall as a team with Richards replacing Ashton at the back.

With his attitude he had long enough to put it right,

But his overall performances have been poor so he has paid the price.END OF

I agree he has had his chance... and blew it!
