Is Millward bringing on another DC

Played very well I thought. Scored two tries and was very good at fullback.

very good

He always play well when given the chance. He's not a bad player at all.

His 2 tries were in stark contrast to his overall performance which ,particularly in the seond half ,was appalling.Throwing wild passes ,kicking on last tackle when we had overlaps out wide

That was incredibly harsh I feel. He fielded the ball very well and attacked well. Sure he didn't do everything perfect but it was his first for a good while.

I agree, he did ok. Nothing special but it's his first game at super league level for a while.

Few stupid passes and drop balls but stepping up to super league when he's been playing at lower league level is tough.

Whoa!! Way, WAY too harsh! The lad had been playing centre at Leigh until a week ago, he gets half a day's training at best and has to play fullback for Saints today. He took his two tries well and defended as well as he could given his unfamiliarity with the role. He panicked a couple of times but I would expect that from someone thrown in the deep end, especially a young guy who has been playing with another team this season.

I thought he did well and he gave it everything he had.

Took his tries well, made the kind of mistakes a young player will always make.

Probably made more yardage in his kick returns today than Wellens has done all season so far.

I thought Armstrong, on balance, did ok today.
