The hysteria has kicked in..........cmon people,Covell isnt good enough for our first grade side,and now the boards rooted and the team is a joke.

Good luck to him,but we need better and faster wingers,we have a top shelf kicker,now we need speedy wingers.Im sure we will get some.

Cheers.

i'd trade covell for donald any day. the fact was that we didn't really need him , he was clumsy and as slow as a wet week.

Does anyone ever wonder why we are a crappy mediocre club?

It's because of short sighted, half arsed decisions like these.

80% golakickers do not grow on trees.

You do not leave them to languish in PL. You do not let them walk out the door. Halligan and El Masri were not talented wingers, yet how many matches has their kicking won for the dogs? Hodgson is an average kicker, yet when the pressure is really on and he has to kick one from the sidelines - can he do it?

With Luke Covell gone, we are missing that option of an almost guaranteed 2 points.

To let Covell go - young, up and coming, talented goalkicker - and then to retain a useless, inept, craparse winger wannabe like Robert Miles who couldnt get a start at any other club is an absolute joke.

To cap it off we will probably go out and sign some 32 year old has been.

Well bloody done.

Yeah good luck to Luke, the writings been on the wall this season. The fact that Fitzhenry was in front of him at one stage showed what his future may hold. Still now we do need to find a winger who can play.

Look at Hodgsons kicking in our last hjalf a dozen games.He often gets a perfect record and has consistently been potting them from the sideline.

At the start of the year I was worried,but he is the best kicker in the club atm(yes he is statistically going far better than Luke)so we dont need to keep a player cos he can kick.

Good luck to Luke,he is a wholehearted player.....but the hysteria really is a bore.

Would of been good for depth

But people saying the management are inept for letting him go :roll:

he is a slow winger, and Hodgson is kicking just as good if not bloody better!!!!

i don't even understand the resident's concept. my guess would be that he is a premier league goalkicker??

it is a rep game, we have three players chosen so like i said he must be more then just a goal kicker to make the team

i would be very upset to lose either small or greally.

but why? if they made the team aswell then they must just have premier league ability aswell and not worth keeping......

Covell wasn't great defensively and lacked pace to be decent as an attacking winger. I don't think it is a loss, and hodgson is a good enough goal kicker.
