Honesty pal I aren't knocking either player - I just think as a pairing it wouldn't work. Their attributes don't seem to blend very well, that's not to say they don't have any.
As I say, I do think you need a degree of pace and flair in the halves, and as a pair I think that'd be their shortfall.
Again, that's not to say they're poor in their positions individually.
I don't think I'm getting my point across very well here

If you want to spend time getting your point across why not choose a subject with some credibility rather than peddling a stupid rumour. |

You don't rate them Dave, nowt wrong with that viewpoint, I don't imagine as a half back pairing they're top of most Trinity supporters list either but if that's thats what we end up with so be it. |

think is I do actually rate them both, just not as a pairing.
This brick wall is doing my head in  |

Well I'll make comment if and when he signs, not going on someone farting on twitter. |

Finn has been outstanding in the Championship - at Leigh, we're sick of the sight of him! - playing behind a good dominant pack. It would be interesting to see how he fares in SL.

| Quote DAVE@CAS1990="DAVE@CAS1990"I think you guys need more at half back than a 33 year old centre and a 30 year old with limited SL experience.
Cream over your pack all you want, yeah it's shaped up pretty well, but you won't win very many games without quality in the halves.
Each hour that passes is an hour nearer the season and less and less will become available. Sykes and Finn would be basically sound, but painfully slow and have virtually no flair.
To say lacking pace and flair is fine as long as you kick well is a very naive way of looking at the sport. Leeds do the "5 drives and kick" game plan very well but they'd still a golden boot winner playing half back all year, cause it sounds WAAAAY easier than what it is. To think you can get Finn and Sykes to do that at the top level and "grind out results" ....well, good luck I suppose'"
Since when have Leeds played 5 drives and a kick game plan? |

OK before anyone else jumps on the defensive, this shall be my last post...
Leeds in big games stick to a failry basic game plan with few handling errors, then turning the ball over in good areas, applying pressure, forcing mistakes, then taking what chances they have. They don't have a very expansive game in big matches, they keep it tight.
So after making myself feel physically ill having to talk about the front wheel skids, I shall leave the speculation page...

Wasting your breath mate - but I agree with you, I'm impressed when I watch him but others aren't.
I also thought he looked great against Cas and Wigan in the cup. |

I am really surprised you didn't settle in Australia... Your 'all about me' attitude would fit in here beautifully...
My post was ... In fact ,,, a comment on the person you were arguing with... And was meant to be lighthearted.
I am sorry if it offended you...
No actually I am not... You are an unpleasant and judgmental person who delights in belittling others.
See I went anonymously petulant at you then and it felt good... As for HIDING in Australia... Well that's rich from someone who went running home.
Merry Christmas. |
