Walmsley must be favourite to finish the season in 2 categories, the most tackle busts and the most metres.
Also our front row gained around 470 metres between them, impressive stuff. Against a lesser team I can see the front row creating some kind of record for metres gained between them in a match.
If Walmsley keeps improving.........who needs Sam Burgess for England.

470 meters from our front row is pretty good, especially when you take into account both props had long spells off the field. We've got Mose due back who will add big meters to that.

I'd love to hear the opinion of them who voted wello our 3rd best player with his stats. Must have been watching another game to me.

We were very good on penalties. Only the odd one.

I'll be posting them in the usual format tomorrow for ease of comparison and discussion.

The best thing wello brings this year can't been shown in stats, his shouting, yelling, gesticulating and general talking on the pitch played a big part in the turn around according to certain people.

Look at how Warrington have played in the opening games this season, after losing all the players who would shout and yell and scream in one off season. Rudderless!

We are learning to play without him and pass that responsibility on, as well as using him to steady the ship when needed, or launch a rocket!

None of that is a physical contribution though.

Complete and utter balls, all of it. Wello was brought on after 68 minutes against Warrington, when the game was well and truly won. He did nothing.

People saying Wello is there for his captaincy are wrong. He's never been a good captain, I'll go as far as saying him being on the field has been a major reason we're 0 for trophies in the past 7 years. He's a massively negative influence with his arm flapping, gesticulating (The only gesticulating he has ever done is at referees when he's having a paddy) and sulking, forgetting entirely that he's an absolutely terrible player.

If you want to allocate praise for the decent start we've had, allocate it to Luke Walsh, to Amor, Roby, Sia and to Walmsley. It's our pack plus Walsh (You can even give a bit of praise to Wheeler for adding a bit of balance in the halves) that is responsible for the better start, not the fact that Wello is selfishly stealing a shirt based on past glories that are now knocking on for a decade ago.

You could hear his voice from the back of the West Stand on Friday night and the intensity levels certainly lifted. Exactly what you want from your captain.

I am SHOCKED you don't agree about wellens saddened

I never mentioned his contribution at Warrington - I said against hull he (and brown) were one half the reason we were able to turn it around - the other half were the players you mentioned. I'm not taking anything away from Roby, sia, Amor et al they performed when needed in the second half - but they needed a rocket and they got one (and how many times did you watch last year and think "I hope they get a rocket at half time, because were still in this we just need to perform" and they didn't)

Clearly, if you think wellens is a negative influence on the team, you can't see anything wellens does as good - if he was (like certain other club legends were ... ) why would we keep him as a coach after he retires? And no, the answer isn't sentiment. Otherwise a certain mr. Long would still be at the club ...
