Who was that rather dashing prop we had from the academy who was very fast?

Reminds me of him but tougher and better.

He has some pretty decent games, but he has had some ordinary ones as well. He needs to be a bit more consistent, but that might be a bit difficult because he has been playing a couple of games carrying an injury (Shoulder I think)

He's done pretty well for me, he's a step up or two from Hargreaves and Emmitt. He had a very strong game against Crusaders last week.

More tackles and more metres per carry than Jammer on an appearence less. also puts in big minutes for a prop. Personally, i think he's been great

Re: LMS : Wed Jun 01, 2011 11:05 pm  

Also it should be pointed out, that like any ozzie import, moving from London to St.Helens is a massive culture shock and i think we may not see the best of him til next year

As some have pointed out LMS shows lots more commitment and potential than some of the home town young players, it will take time to settle he is an East End Boy. What has impressed me is the commitment to his sponsor Hattons Solicitors, he does a column for them and is forever taking them up, in London players were made to work hard off the field as well as it is important to spread the name of rugby league in the community.

I'd suggest that, when he's dynamic and moving onto the ball, he looks very powerful and even when tackled is good at providing a quick PTB. What he doesn't have, which Perry and Jammer do, is the ability to show a more strength from a static position - ie, when a couple of tacklers have got hold of you.
This will come with age and conditioning imo.

A worthy prop. Will get better. Defends well.
