Your doing it again, Lees has been highly rated by Holbrook, Woolf, Wane, Peacock and Brown but you seem to ignore that fact and have used the "I have forgot more than you know" sidestep.

On the game itself my stand out players were Tomkins, Makinson,Williams, Burgess and Radley, sorry but there are no Wigan Players in my stand out courtesy list.

You can put Bateman and Hill into that list ,then it is closer to stand out players.

I dont care what you think I watched, England that was my side yesterday.

Would you have Thompson or Lees in that squad as I know who I would.

I,m not sure if Thompson will take part in any more games if he still has concussion problems and has lost some of his agression at the moment. Hopefully its only temporary, if he gets his mojo back and is fit I would pick Thompson.

He's better than Hill. His line speed and relentlessness in defense is outstanding. He's been brilliant for Saints for two years now. We've been told we're only winning the title every year because Walmsley is so good. But we've had two long injuries to Walmsley now and we don't drop at all. Lees has been incredible. Hill is putting a lot of effort in, he's doing okay, but there's no power in his carries or his tackles, he's just working hard.

Matty Lees dropped for Semi, Hill will start again. Guess he's doing more than just working hard and Lees getting driven back in the tackle by PNG was not so incredible.

Lots of pressure and energy can play for long minutes, terrific line speed around the ruck. In otherwards a fast mobile prop who gets into your face consistently.

The only stand out selection questionable is Pearce-Paul, sooner have Farnworth starting.

Generalisations. I didn't ask what he can do. I asked what he's done. The answer is nothing. Hill has been far better than Lees which is why he retains his place as starting prop whereas Lees...well... doesn't.

You're misunderstanding his post. Saddo has anyone with a Wigan connection in his 'Wigan list'. Therefore you have 2 in your list.

Thats my point Phuzzy how anyone even a demented Saints fan can say Hill hasnt done anything but Lees has are just so one eyed its unbelievable.
Hell of a lot of Wigan influence on that squad from coach downwards.
