Hey Cimm...Keogh and Caz still going hard at it on TC?

[Raydan]

I believe his tongue is firmly in his cheek.

But Rowe has been good to very good three weeks in a row. Out bodying and out playing old hands like Pav and young guns like Moore and Daniher.

That people still want to bag him out say a lot about their ingrained insecurity about being wrong.

The reason that people "bag him out" is the dropped marks and the lack of agility, both traits that are needed at FB/CHB. I would love to know how many uncontested overhead marks Sam has dropped this season.

That being said he was excellent yesterday against a young athletic opponent. I think he gets the team defence we are going with much more than Jammo and that's why he is played ahead of him. Sam Rowe will never drop his head and sulk, will give 100% and at the moment he is our best big defender.

Start marking the overhead marks and Sam is a lock for another 2 years.

Yeah buddy!!! Loved that we didn't fold. Really liking what the carriage brings to the side. He stands up strong in tackles and is really hard to bring down. Something really lacking in a bunch of players.

Imagine if we had a big guy who could play forward. We'd have done them over by 10 goals  ) )

Nah,

Keogh posts very rarely and Caz the same.

Caz cops a lot of personal abuse from posters because of hi association with the club.

Reading some of these posts you'd think we'd lost.

That said Agree with most of that apart from sumner and plot an being passengers. Summers best game for the club. Plot an was quiet but quite happy for him not to be noticed.

Also, players were invested in the Wayne Britain game plan. Should never have got rid of him...

We were the worst side last year.

Struggled to win 4 games. We beat whoever we put in front of us and that's a good thing.

But he's played three good games in a row and still gets called a passenger.

He's been good, end of story. Next week he might be bad but people will ignore the fact he's played three good games.

There's absolutely no doubt he feels the heat, but so would I if i'd played in our backline as they've got absolutely no help for two years from the rest of the team in either pressuring the ball carrier or getting back to help out.

If the comments on him are balanced, that's all you can ask for. The praise for his last three games has certainly been deserved.
