What a find this lad looks! Cracking game from the lad, Wigan struggled to contain him. He played a huge role in getting Saints back in the game in the 2nd half.

It just proves there are some gems knocking about in the championship, I thought he was by far and away our best player today.

Big, athletic and a good workrate.

Puts guys like Perry and Laffranchi to shame on that showing.

Laffranchi is the worst forward I've seen in a long time. He is a coward, turning away from the impact so he can be tackled around the waist instead. In defense he doesn't hit the ball carrier, he receives them, allowing them to march him another 5 or 6 metres before someone else comes in and does the manly job of stopping the player.

Perry, although not a great player by any stretch and constantly injured, really puts the work in when he's around.

Still a very rough diamond, when you compare to such as Wigan's Dom Crosby!

Walmsley was outstanding. We improved immesurably when he was on. What a gem.

He has just been our best player in a Wigan Saints derby. He's now officially developed.

Very impressive. Frightening to think what he could be like with a couple more years of pro training and conditioning under his belt.

Re: Alex Walmsley : Fri Mar 29, 2013 7:10 pm  

He was our best player I think, great performance!

I've seen a few comments from Wigan fans who thought he was dangerous; that's always a sign of when someone has played well.
