Opps, I'll add Warmsley. But would be surprised if he made anyone's number one.

Damn that's reset the whole thing.


That i'l learn me

1. Roby
2. Roby
3. Lomax

Re: MOM v Bradford : Sat Feb 23, 2013 11:17 pm  

1) Lomax - I think edges MoM for me. Looked our most dangerous player.

2) Wilkin - instead of people talking about 'that Leeds game' they can instead talk about 'that Bradford game' (was funny to see brown refer to this famous performance also haha!). He took us round the park well and kicked them to death, especially in the first half.

3) Soliola/TP - both had great games and gave us go forward and steel in defence. Also a mention to Manu who's try was excellent.

Manu

I agree with that. Put me down for the same.

Weirdly, after last week against hull, I said I'd play wilkin in the halves for a extended run. I know he hasn't got a great rugby brain or the best pair of hands but he is willing to get involved.

Gaskell and lomax won't take the game by the scruff of the neck but at least wilkin will try to do this and some weeks it won't work but IMO its better to have someone willing to try than someone just walking around the field.

Putting wilkin in the halves will also make our pack stronger meaning we can play sia and Manu in second row with Flash at loose.

Wilkin in the halve isn't great but IMO its a whole lot better than the crap we've had for past few years.

I've been a Wilkin basher recently, but it could simply be a case of playing the wrong game from the wrong part of the field. Have we been asking to play halfback from the 2nd row?

Today he had alot more time and alot more space to place his kicks.

It must make a difference when you have not been slugging your guts out in the defensive line.

I'm not suggesting he was slack in defense, but I bet he was not topping 40 tackles today, which will help fatigue and help with thinking straight when it comes to his halfback role.

I just thought we looked balanced today, which was refreshing, there is still room to improve, but a balanced and organised side is better to watch.

Nobody in the history of rugby league has bashed Wilkin as much as me but at this current time I think he's our best option in the halves.

Re: MOM v Bradford : Sun Feb 24, 2013 11:45 am  

I think Wilkin is more accustomed to taking on responsiblitly and as St Pete says he gets involved and is not afraid of doing so. Lomax seems to be too structured when given the responsiblitly of being a 7 and this does not suit his game

I'd go with the same set up vs Leeds and if it works, then fantastic.
