Widnes stats : Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:43 am  

http://superleague.co.uk/report/9975 Highlights and lowlights People who apparently know more than me tell me Savelio isn't fit, well if 8, yes EIGHT tackle busts and 185 mtres with 3 clean breaks and only 1 missed tackles is from an unfit player, i can't wait to see him fit!!! Luke Thomson, 38 tackles only 1 missed Mose for a big lad getting fit, 26 tackles is great, got 6 tackle busts too and the not so good... I've praised Josh Jones but 11 tackles and 5 missed is not good at all Sia 12 tackles and 3 missed - does he need a rest? LMS did 28 tackles which is good, but made just 50 mtrs which is not! For an "athletic" front rower his stats are roughly similar to Mose except he cant make the mtrs or break the tackles! Did dawson get taken off?

Yes. He had a fractured cheekbone.

Andre certainly isn't as fit as he should be. Don't forget he's not played much rugby in the last 12 month. He just gets very tired after doing a run and that's why he only plays short spells.

People on here know I don't get carried away with young lads coming through and I try and hold my judgejemt until they played two seasons but I've been bigging this lad up for two years.

I first heard of him off scully and KC when I heard them talking about how big and strong he was and how they thought he was a special player.

I think he needs to be on bench from now on, the lads just so big and strong.

The missed tackles is a big worry. I'll bet Wello has missed more tackles already this season than in any other season in his career.

I was shot down after 3 games when I said our defence isn't good. I posted how our edges are opened up so easy and I think it's showing more now.

Jones edge was tore to shreds on Monday.

Everyone in the team missed at least one tackle. There were others worse than you pet hate.

I covered that part in the first bit if you read it properly.

"The [number of] missed tackles is a big worry"

Thomas Makinson - who's that when he's at home!!!!

All joking aside very good stats from the Big Young Lad.

I think people are still reading MT as missed tackles.

I'm a bit of a fan of Walker but from those stats apart from Savelio theit looks like Greenwood and Thompson are the ones pushing for a bench spot.

I do think we should not play LMS, from those stats he has been as about as effective as Wellens. I'd also say Wellens seemed to drop off from those stats. But then I'm not sure what role he was playing on Monday.

I'm not sure any of them knew what their roles were.
