Give over, 20 points less? We'd have scored 36 point's less if Hall didn't switch positions depending on whether we're defending or attacking, That's not to say Lovegrove (our top tackler) shouldn't get in the starting line-up.



Netherton is a great servant to the club and goes out giving 100%, He doesn't have to and many haven't (Clinton?), What more can we ask of him? He really doesn't deserve the derogatory comments he receives on this forum.

He's as good as he can be, but if all are fit he wouldnt feature. He may feature this weekend and put in a solid performance but we will never win a trophy with his like in the forwards. Dont get me wrong you always need players like nev who will step up with no grumbles. Its a squad after all.

We'll not win a trophy with a squad of people who couldn't give a toss if we win, lose or draw.



People like Nev and Murrell are just the players who always put in their all and while they may be weaker in area's than other squad members, their commitment cannot be questioned, When we're defending set after set on our own line, Netherton plays a big part in that whether he's involved in each tackle or not, Murrell on the other hand - "Fat, slow Murrell" who quite often gets the team spirit up with a great strong tackle on someone twice his size or a well timed 40/20 following a defensive onslaught.



Players like these are harder to replace than Ben Fisher or Clint Newton.

Think we'll agree to disagree.

But to counter that point.

Players like Nev will not make you the meters to take that same pressure off that he is so good at defending.

It is a double edged sword.

In defence he will make the tackles but in offence he won't get you away from your own line.

It all depends what you want I suppose.



A player that makes 5 less tackles but makes you 60/70/80 more meters over the course of a game has to play IMHO.

That's fair enough and very amicable of you, I'd prefer it to continued unnecessary disrespect of someone that's actually proud of their job and carried it out to the best of their ability.



Hell, I'd bet most on here don't put half into their jobs that Netherton does, whether they're absolutely amazing at it or not.

I do more than 110 per cent

You're argument is flawed, I'd explain but I can't be bothered.



Lovegrove attacks on the wing and rarely gets the ball, in attack. He moves into the middle to defend in place of Craig Hall, What's the difference between Netherton defending in the middle and not getting involved in the attack from our own line and Lovegrove defending in the middle and not getting involved in the attack from our own line?



The majority of my defence for Netherton is not his skill set or abilities but his team ethic and work rate, something that if shared by the other 12 people in the team on the pitch at the time would almost certainly make a trophy winning team. See any previous derby victories for examples.

Yeah but don't you work as a Physio? I think I'd put everything and more into that, too.







Ooft!

I see a spying Wire fan.



Hello Horatio Yed, you little sneak. Tell Tony Smith that our lineup will be much like last week but without some.

Ve have vays of making you lose

Well, That's quite true.



A fit 6&7?
