| Quote bonaire="bonaire"I agree with you and see Connor to full back sooner than later as Radford clearly wants to keep Connor happy and we are better using four forwards on the bench so Connors immediate playing time will be limited.
I am not a Connor fan as his lack of pace will always be his nemesis and what stops him becoming a great player just like Jamie Shaul will never be a great player because of his inability to create that link in attack and find the clinical pass.
In defence of Jamie i dont see Connor having a stronger defence as he seems to have worked a lot on this part of his game.
Maybe Radford should try Connor to full back whilst the grounds are wet and soft and use Jamie when the grounds start to firm and make better use of his pace.
Jordan Rankin would have been ideal in this team.'"
Totally agree....
Not just Shaul's passing & ability to create , but the team needs upskilling in ball skill and attack -IMO..
We should have recruited an attack coach pre-season, but that ship has sailed...
If we had better ball retention, then we would do less defending, therefore we would have more energy..
Our attack heavily relies on a speculative Sneyd kick,or a piece of individual brilliance from Kelly,
we rarely go to our left edge, as we only have 2 pivots(central & right edge)..
Our defence is simply magnificent...

Turgut charged with Grade C, Kelly got a warning. Walmsley grade A, Peyroux nothing (Unbelievably. Well, maybe not).....'"
Are we being coached to think we can get away with this stuff??

Radders didn't look too happy when Turgut elbowed Walmsley in the head, so I'm guessing not.

| Even though what Turget did was silly part of me was pleased to see a youngster stick up for himself against someone like Walmsley and he was looking for the ball up to then aswell.

| Anyone else quietly disappointed scrapping is such a big no no now? Would have loved to see Taylor and Walmsley slugging it out. Both were up for it after the knee slide on Carlos.

I'm not convinced Walmsley was up to it, big pudding comes to mind.

| Kelly strikes with knee? Anyone remember this? Was it in the tackle, as he carried the ball in?

Yes i am, kind of. I have lost count of the number of matches I have watched that have gotten even better and faster following a bit of biff. I don't need to see the biff every week but occasionally it works wonders for a game

Great prop though, would love to have him coming off the bench for us, caused us lots of problems in his 2nd spell after the elbow from Turgut.

Sorry but elbowing a tackled player in the face isn't "silly" it's a dirty sh ithouse move and we'd not be describing it as such if another teams player did that to ours.
I hope the club/Radford hand out internal discipline for things like that. i don't care if he's XX age, he's been playing the game at a serious level for a long while and to react like that over what is pretty standard stuff in rugby at most levels (a hand up to the face from the tackler which had hardly anything in it anyways) is totally unacceptable, it most definitely is not what we expect nor want grubby players at our club.
I was surprised Radford only referred to it as a "brain fart", it wasn't, it was done with malicious intent, as I said i hope he's reprimanded internally for it.
As for the late head high shoulder charge on Sneyd going unpunished, typical RFL BS, if you can't even get a sin-bin for it (proven by the SOL one last season wasn't it?) we might as well pack all the player safety in and state it's a free for all.
The late knees to a defenceless player is yet more grubby sh ite we don't need in the game.
