Its a forum where RL is discussed and you won't agree with everything that's posted.
You could put things forward that offers a different viewpoint or opinion to mine like Frank, Charlie and others have done but throwing insults is a bit silly don't you think.

As it goes I've been to every home game this season, and several away games....and I tend to agree with Jenky!!
I have no problem what so ever with Spencer being selected....lets be honest, the lad has already played more games for us than he'll ever play for W*gan, and is a Leyther in all but name (and lets hope - as they don't seem to rate him, that we get him signed up for next season!), but IMHO the potential inclusion of Taylor sends out the wrong message. He won't be there to plug an injury crisis gap, but will prevent a contracted Leigh player from playing in a final.....not what, we are always told, the DR system is about!!
If I was young Duffy, I'd be gutted if I was dropped from the final 17 to accomodate someone 'parachuted in' for one game!!
I wont let it spoil my enjoyment of the final if it happens, but feel the point needs to be made.
That said, if it does happen, lets hope that this might provide the spur to young Ryan to go 'hell for leather' in the close season, and work on the fitness which is still the question mark hanging over his game.....and come back next season determined to be our first choice front rower, and show everyone he is the player we all believe he can be!!

This for me is the most likely reason if Duffy doesn't make the 17.
1. He is young and one for the future.
2. As much as I like his guts out running, he's all heart on the field but not fit enough for a high pace, hot day, final.
3. Many of us believe he can be a a first choice, but right now he has not shown the commitment to drop the weight, tone up, and match his heart with his fitness and strength.
I would love him to play but can really see why he may not.
What ever our coach decides I am 100% behind him and the 17 he chooses.

Charlie agrees with everything in this post  ,as you say its very tough on Duffy , if hes not selected to play , and in his position I would be devastated , BUT again as you state it WILL inspire to get 100% fit for the coming games ,and next season move up a notch to try tp prove to Paul R he is worth a place in the starting 17 , its all about 1 game on Saturday , and for me , a choice between a Full time experienced player in Scott Taylor or part time Ryan Duffy , id go for Taylor EVERY TIME , no doubt .

Can't argue with any of this VL.
However, in Ryan's defence, I believe he did shed loads of weight in the close season, after signing for us. (Didn't Barrow have problems finding a shirt to fit him?!) Granted, he possibly still has some way to go - if he does miss out, there's always this season's GF to aim for!

I commented on your comparison and the timing of it, as you say it's. a LRL forum. I also find a post that says all right young Taylor, I know you bust a gut v Feath to get us here but I don't want you playing for us in a final if selected
I stand by my comment and respect your reply

| IMO it is the correct decision to play Taylor. I went to Fev, something I rarely do due to our embarrassing performances I've seen there in the past! When the team was read out I felt cheated a couple of players missing I thought we will slaughtered as usual! Wrong ! what a performance, for those who didn't see it, Taylor was awesome I'd never seen or heard of him before and whilst it was no one man performance, he was a major reason we won the tie! Play him Paul!

| I am sorry Ryan isn't playing but for all the reasons posted Taylor is the best choice. Ryan has plenty more finals in him.
