It's only half time but Lance is again having a top game, fast, evasive and proving to be a real handful. Mention also for perry who worked hard plus had a hand in two of the tries, great long pas for the meli try.

Hohaia was good in the first half but quieter in the second. I thought Lomax struggled, nothing seemed to come off for him. Perry was good, Wilkin was a machine in defense and Flanagan was good. Roby was his usual brilliant self.

We saw a summary of Meli's career tonight, with some decent hard work, a good try and a bad mistake. Makinson finished his try really well but as ever didn't get involved enough.

Wello looked like he was struggling tonight. His inability to get to bombs is going to be costly for us next season if we're really serious about him staying at fullback. His contribution to the attacking line was horrendous, so many times he just died with the ball. He leapt well for Meli's try, but that was about his only notable contribution. I really fail to see what he brings to us at the moment.

Thought Perry had a very good game looking quite a handful now. I like the way Rush had him working out wide and operating at "half back."
Personally I thought Wello had a good busy game offensively, would probably give M.O.M. to wilkin, came up with some good plays and defense when the Giants had a good spell.

Jon Wilkin! Is this a serious post?

He was driving me nuts. He refused to pass the ball on to the centre each time he came to the line and every time bar the last one the ball died with him. He needs to stop doing that because I'm sure we are losing try scoring opportunities. He doesn't even look to see if the player is there.

He was good in defence though.

Wilkin was great in defence but bloody awful with ball in hand. And his kicks are woeful.

I don't personally think his defence was any better. He smashed a couple of fellas to bits in seperate tackles but we can't mistake that for good defence.

Re: Hudds : Sun Jul 29, 2012 11:56 pm  

No real outstanding performances tonight for me but frankly none were really needed against appallingly poor opposition. Brough's kicking was all they had to offer frankly. It was good to see Hohaia actually causing a defence some problems in the first half though.

Ouch! To me I just saw a team in disarray wanting the season to end as soon as possible. If that's an improvement on where you've been then you really are in trouble
