Jamie Foster.... And James Roby : Mon Apr 25, 2011 7:55 pm  

Balls of steel that boy. Balls of steel. I couldn't even watch it, never mind kick it. I looked up as he kicked it, absolutely perfect flight and perfectly central. Unbelievable.

James Roby is this years Man of Steel. Award it to him now. It's futile extending the competition, it's all his. Sensational yet again. Honourable mentions to Armstrong, Gardner, Sia, Graham and Scott Moore.

I wasn't there but it sounded like Armstrong had a bit of a stinker, especially in the second half apart from his two tries early on. I would love to be proved wrong though.

Scott Moore comes in for fair bit of stick on our board but I think he's playing well this year. Looks to be better backrow than hooker.

He was woeful today. He is capable of some good things but his defensive choices and handling were incredibly poor.

Roby on the other hand is a machine, the ultimate athlete.

He works hard and adds some toughness to us but i agree, his handling at times is poor and gives to many pens away.

I just feel he's played ok this year.

Sia has really impressed me over the last 3 games. He's showing what a good player he is. It's a pitty we can't use him better when we have the ball as I think he can bust a few tackles.

I was there, and he didn't. As I said on the Armstrong thread, he was playing centre with Leigh just a week or so ago. On the basis of a morning's training at best, he finds himself playing fullback with Saints today. For a guy of, what, 20? he did very well. He took his tries well, speedy kick returns, he defended as well as most of them and worked very hard. He panicked a bit but that's to be expected. So no, he didn't have a stinker. Far from it.
