Your best player last night by a distance. Only one who showed any threat at all.

Thanks for the info.

thought he had a decent game, he wern't out best player though, that player was stood on the wing and is a young wigan lad! if shaun can sort out some of his timing in defence- which will come, he will be a seriously dangerous player.

I thought Shaun Ainscough was our best player too.

That break he made by the touch line in the second half was fantastic. He had no right to still be on he feet and then be free from defenders, not many players would have been able to do that.

Agreed. Great fend off on Donald.

So Tommy was the only player who showed any threat at all.

Oh ... apart from Hock who crossed the whitewash twice, on both occasions splitting the Leeds defence apart. And Ainscough, who crossed once and came pretty close twice.

hock had one of his cold days!

im sure when that woman wrote that song about being hot and cold it was aimed at gareth hock!

one week he is world class, one week he is poor. i'd of took hocky off last night after the first couple of errors and let him cool down, joel tomkins was doing all the gritty work in the second row so we would of been sound.

it was a bad day at the office generally.

To be fair to hock, he could easily have got a couple of pens in the first half for having the ball ripped, but instead loses possession.

I think he's one of those players who refs make an assumption on because he has a reputation for offloading.

He still ran in hard and on the right angles.

Hock, Tommy & Ainscough emerged from last night with great credit.

I thought he played excellent yet again, but for me Tommy was our main and to be honest our only threat when going forward.
