I`ve always rated Tyrer

Steve Tyrer - the Vikings' new Mick Nanyn!

I hope he and Ropati improve their defence !

hes half

the man mick nanyn is.

I would rather have Nanyn not for him being good but tyrer being sh*t

Not what the stats say is it

How many SL games did Nanyn play again?





Being honest we have them the right way around. Tyrer still has bag of potential and could still make a very good SL players as he's only about 21! Whereas Nanyn is in the later years of his career (possibly could be his best though), the SL ship has sailed but he still has a hell of a lot to offer a Championship club hoping to win titles.



Win, win?

Pretty fair assessment.

I agree. Tyrer needs to improve his defence, and Ropati does too. Ford should be there when we know we will have a lot of defending to do.

Not slating Ford at all but I am not sure where people get the idea he's great in defence from?

Think Ropati has been find out early doors. If coaches in the Championship have sussed him out already, god help him in Superleage if he's kept on!!

Tangi's tackling is alright and on line defence is good it's just his mid field read that is appalling as Leigh and Toulouse found. If your going to attack that side attack early in the set (again Leigh - Nanyn). He just needs to learn better to hold his line rather than flying out every set trying to put a shot on!

From what I have seen this season Ford has done quite well defensively so far. We have not had a really settled back line, although Tyrer is sharp in the attack. I think Ropati has only been good in flashes.
