i reckon i could make a good case to say we have gone backwards on last yr so far.

the saving grace  has been the improvement in both astbury and griffiths.

Astbury needs to do a bit more for mine, he hasn't really been tested. He needs a scalp like Cloke to show he has what it takes.

To beat Cloke he needs those team mates in the midfield to pressure the kicker who is delivering to him.
If they put it lace out, the full back of the century would have no hope. He also needs a third man up and not to be left one out.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

True but I want to see him win one on one, against another player, one on one in the square. Win a few of them and yes he has improved.

Been Hopeless today and sadly he is in the same boat with about 18 other blokes in yellow and black jumpers today.

Was brilliant on Cloke. A bright light on a dull night.

He's a bit up and down Astbury but he's slowly getting there. Will have some bad games this year and be frustrating but we need to be patient and keep persisting.

Went ok actually, still needs to improve his decision making but overall went well.

Played a great game last night on Cloke and did it on his own. Astbury has clearly been the best key defender for us  this year :clapping
