Thought he had a great game last night but his football like dummy spit was a bit embarrassing especially when Lomax had to pull him away from the ref! I hope he doesn't go about questionning the ref like that all year.

He does spit his dummy out when things don't go his/our way and can be embarassing at times.

He needs to chill out.

Bit too far with his complaining for sure but he was been exceptional these past 3 games. Having watched the recording, the work he put in to be in position to score his 2nd try was very good. Made a dummy run on one side of the field, arched around the back and finished off a great move.

He's been written off (twice by myself in the last season and a half) but he keeps putting it in.

Captain fantastic.

I've wrote him off at times myself but when we was discussing our team for 2012 at the start of the season I kept on putting him in my starting line up.

IMO he's still good enough but we could do better.

Another classy display and it's fair to say he's shutting up a few of the doubters (including myself). I think the difference recently is he's been injury free and is taking on the captaincy role well. Along with Gardner he's turned back the clock and is putting in some strong displays just as he was 4 or 5 years ago.

He even out paced Riley for his try

For me it boils down to Wello being used in a different way.

For Royce he was given the role of being the link man arching round the outside on moves. This is plainly stupid for Wello as he doesnt have the pace to attract the outside defenders. As a result the halves had to literally slow play down to allow Wello to chime into the line. Consequently this killed the move stone dead.

He now appears however to be used more through the middle, acting as a runner coming inside, or running off the shoulders of a player stepping one out from dummy half in midfield This is the way he was used by Daniel Anderson.

That is how Anderson used him, he has wilkin and wello running off the shoulders of roby close to the ruck which IMO gets the best out of both wilkin and wello.

Yep. I was critical and he has done very well these last two games. Long may it continue!
