It was hard to put a measure on how the outside backs fared, because we so frequently cut Widnes up the middle in the first half. It really was the Pryce show, to the extent that Lee Gaskell was almost rendered not needed.
Leon was great. I hope he continues like that. It's what we need.
I was heartened that RS gave him the centre slot. I think we will be a much better side with Wheeler giving us more skill and speed at centre and Soliola issuing the big tackles in the second row.
I felt the same way. Just so long as Soliola remembers to issue the big tackles! He does have a tendency to miss!
Times have changed and speed is essential - not a team full of chunks ala Potter rugby.
Yup. It was great seeing them all look so trim and fit. And Jon Wilkin in that away kit. Fair blew my mind! (He played very well in attack, too!)
