Another.. I rate Wane as a coach but think he treats players differently maybe to the point of favouritism. He drops Williams to bench against cas because he has an erratic game against KR and again tonight. He also drops Sutton against cas. And Bateman to bench tonight. He plays Powell at 6 and brings Williams at hooker after telling us that he was going to give the halfbacks a good run together. Now my point is that other players have been poor like Farrell and gelling (both who I rate) keep getting picked no matter what they do wrong. Budgie has had a few poor games and won't be here next year yet only gets dropped for one game when manfredi did ok last week. All this is my opinion but I think some players seem to be above getting dropped.

Re: One rule for one and another rule
For me he can go to Aus now. He has got too big for his boots. too many handling errors. Let Manfredi have his do.gillysmyhero wrote:Budgie has had a few poor games and won't be here next year yet only gets dropped for one game when manfredi did ok last week.

He hardly had a good pass all night! The lad is 6' 4" & he had to get down to balls at his feet!captinjack wrote:For me he can go to Aus now.

There is too much expectation & pressure on him after last season plus he has lost his confidence IMO

I expected a few "Budgie is on the plane" comments again but in my view he had no chance with the passes he dropped.
The problem was the passing, not the winger.
If the passing is of that standard we need to play a different style of game.

Re: One rule for one and another rule
The problem is that the guys inside him are crap at the moment, our execution is a million miles away from where it should have been. It must have been obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse that Hull' s weak link was their right defence yet we could not take advantage.josie andrews wrote:He hardly had a good pass all night!

Re: One rule for one and another rule
I'm not Burgess bashing at all I'm just pointing out that wane has said that he picks players on form and that at the minute its doesn't seem that way.
Re: One rule for one and another rule
Spot on Josie. I don't think the lad had one decent ball to hand all night.As you quite rightly say the lads 6'4''.Hows he supposed to pick most passes up from his boot laces or behind him.We know he's short on confidence so these wayward passes are going to do nothing to help restore it.Because the expectations of him are very high.After last season he's expected to score every time he gets the ball.If he gets the ball that is.josie andrews wrote:He hardly had a good pass all night!
