Id guess Rod has gone backward cos his confidence has been shattered and he hasnt hardly played. If page is happy and keeps Hooper then im afraid my confidence in Page would start to wain
Like I say none of us know what goes on behind closed doors but page doesn't strike me as being the kind of person to cut his nose off to spite his face or bear grudges, I'm sure if he thought rod was good enough he'd be in the starting 11 regardless of what we think of him. I'm slightly more concerned about his views on jjh particularly after last weekend although it sounds like this thigh injury might have an impact on that
