He shut down just about everything that moved in a wire shirt down that side, especially in the first half. He had quite a few good carries driving it in. Didn't do much attacking wise though and did bomb a decent chance with a poor pass.

I'm still not sure what to make of him, but all told I thought it was a positive performance on Friday and justified his selection

I think he reads the game quite well but doesn't do anything spectacular like Percival, a lot of our attack is down our left hand side so Peyroux and Owens get less ball in attack. The wire game was a bit of pressure for him to hit the ground running after his absence from a few matches.
The team just looks a lot more solid in defence, no one sprinting out of the line or mis reading plays, Turner and Owens are not showing up as weak spots in the back line at the moment.

I think he's pretty poor at making defensive reads and that was his big criticism in the NRL. He's like Turner in defence.

Peyroux imo is just your average run of the mill player. Offers nothing in attack at all and dodgy in defence. I'm not sure if he's even better than Matty Dawson tbh.

I'd like to see us bring a good centre in, I know we being linked with Jack Reed who is good player but very injury prone. We also linked to a kiwi centre but can't think of his name so it's pretty clear we in the market for a centre.

I think that's harsh, he's better than Dawson. If nothing else he's a lot stronger than Dawson, and it's makes an impact.

I'm no big fan of Greenwood on the right (he's so much better in attack down the left) but the combination of him and Peyroux completely nullified Sandow (top assists in SL) and Atkins (player of the month ... Somehow.) As such I think it's worth sticking with him at centre for now - if he slips into old habits of shooting out the line and Warrington was a one off, I'd start to think he's a write off. Most of the team would be considered terrible if we only considered them during the last period Peyroux played!

Justin Hoffman is the other centre we have been linked to, as well as Joel Moon.

I wasn't bagging peyroux performance last Thursday. He was great In defence stopping Atkins on that side and was very disaplined in not jumping out the line but I'm not sure he can do this every week tbh.

He's poor in attack and Matty made much more breaks than peyroux.

The only player I can really be critical of last Thursday was Richards. He went missing all match until he missed thst tackle that put wolves back in the game. I can't beleive how poor Richards has gone. I know he's young but he's miles off being a good super league prop.

We really do need to sign one or two props for next year. We really only have Walmsley (not having great season) , lms and amor that are really at super league level. Thompson is still hit and miss due to his age but got potential to be good prop. Tasi is just outright awful. Sav is out the picture.
