Millington had an extremely poor day yesterday; but he has played excellently prior to that and I think that once Huby gets back into the swing of things our fortunes may change.

I think Emmitt is extremely vocal but I don't think he has a poor attitude. Just think he's passionate about his rugby and hates things going against him, as would all players. But he does make good metres and he's a good, honest player. His stats at start of last year we brilliant compared to some of the other forwards.

Emmitt probably just needs to grow up a bit - given his frustration yesterday, he'd have done much more to lift his team by making a barnstorming carry at a crucial moment or knocking one of the Fev forwards into the middle of next week; instead he kneed a bloke in the face when he was about to play the ball, then came in to a tackle late and threw a punch - two silly penalties that put his team on the back foot.

Undoubtedly. And we have to remember that he got warned against you lot last season for back-chatting to the ref all game.

To be fair, a barnstorming run would have been nice from any of our players yesterday. It was abhorrent.

Indeed - I believe I commented on him doing the same thing after a Sky game last season; forget who it was against, but he spent the whole game gurning and whining at the ref and waving his arms around.

A decent coach will knock that out of him - unless he goes to play for Leeds, in which case they'll positively encourage it.

He was a St Helens player, what do you expect from them

It must be coached into them from the u18s up, they're all like it.

Emmitt looks a good player, aside from his attitude. Massey and Hubris, however, look like the have the mobility of a plank.
