Still only against wakey. The next 3 games will be a real test for him. Percy defence was massive improvement

Hearing lots of good things throughout which is promising ...

With regard lms: seemed to have a great game out wider - is this an option for next year???

A player makes a couple of runs and watching supporters think they've had a great game. Tonight was just another average performance that won't see us through the play offs.

In the last month Wakey beat Leeds, Widnes and Warrington.


And they all had halfbacks

get a new tune we all know we are unlikely to win the GF, but so are 10 other teams in the league. We can still add praise when its due

It was a decent performance considering the dissruption of losing Roby and Wheeler and Turner operating in a new role.
LMS did a lot more than make some good runs, maybe you missed that part of his game.

We've tried LMS there before against Wigan at home when we got destroyed. I believe he can play there but as always with Lms, it depends on his attitude. He plays really well when he wants to but when he has this feeling of I'm the big I am and thinks he's great and then he's just awful.

I still think we need to replace a secondrow next year as LMS might not be the answer and then we stuffed.

LMS is more of a second row than a prop, did much better there as he cant handle the grind of front row. But as pete says, he only seems to try when he wants too

No good if he keeps losing possession

Re: 19 man squad announced for Wakefield. : Sat Aug 16, 2014 7:36 am  

LMS had a decent game but still too many stupid errors. Think I counted 4 last night but against Wigan/ Leeds you could probably double that. He has too many brain darts and until he gets that out his game he's not good enough IMO.

Re: 19 man squad announced for Wakefield. : Sat Aug 16, 2014 7:54 am  

LMS is one of our top players for offloads which means there is always an element of risk on a loose carry similar to Manu.
His workrate was good yesterday and topped the tackle count.

It can't be right wheeler made 3 carries for 5m all game ... Surely???

Very high error count from lms puts things into a different perspective, but walmsley looked to go really well, top 10m per carry average which is always impressive
