Pick 27 Anthony Miles

There has to be a reason for Miles less than stellar games so far this season. From what I have seen he is thinking well but a yard slower than last year. If he is injured then drop him until he is fit again because he is so important to us.
 
I'm surprised the club hasn't leaked that he is carrying an injury.
Maybe he isn't injured but just playing *smile*
 
Averaging 4 possession less than last year. If he is injured, rest him and give someone like Moore a shot at the Weagles.

Well, hope you're right but had little impact and won few clearances or CPs compared to his usual in 2015.

Playing him injured is what ruined Foley's career, brought it to a premature end. It's dumb. We talk up having depth, but won't play Townsend or Moore when useful.

Then where screwed . He couldn't have played any worse.
He is another that doesn't chase hard , so if his playing rubbish time to trade him back to gws

Mainly contested possessions too. I just checked his stats and I reckon he's got to be injured. With the interchange cap you would expect him to be on the field for at least as long as last year, averaging 76% TOG compared to 84% last year. Thats a big discrepancy.
 
Not just his possession numbers either. His disposal has been atrocious. Missing handballs, that last year would have set up an outside runner into space, by a fair margin.

Agree. He's well off his previous benchmarks for whatever reason.
 
I agree, gents, he looks a bit off. Round 3. I'd be surprised if he didn't come good.
 
Hoping last year wasn't a 'stick it up GWS' year and now that he has done that will go into typical RFC cruise mode.

Except he's had 2 good years in a row, and 3 poor games to start a season.

Try harder.
 
Miles injured/ down on form, Shed injured/ underdone, Dusty down, Lids injured, I reckon Rance is a bit out of form too off a high base, ditto Jack. You're gunna struggle to win games with that many good players injured or out of form. Exacerbated by Conca and Yaz

Got.the contract he wanted now it's chill time. Watch the crows Gans he jogs when he is meant to be chasing hard.
Typical for us.plays one good year.give him a 5 year deal
