On Walmsley I slightly change my mind.
We definitely benefit from Russell getting us off the line but no one was able to do that today.
Walmsley still got over 100 metres when he didn't actually get a run in open play.
He doesn't get post contact metres like Russell but he gets to the line fast.
He also made a potential try saver on Lewis when he was away.

So lots to work on but he did OK in a tough game.

I agree that Jowitt has looked really good in his first two games , and was better than Evalds yesterday . However , at the time of writing Evalds was a proven SL FB , Jowitt had performed well at SL level but not to the standards we have seen from Evalds in the past .

That said , if he continues to improve then he will be right up there with the best of them , but it is still early days . Perhaps I didn't give him the recognition he deserves , and although I don't think you can judge someone on a season in the Championship , he has certainly improved considerably and looks the real deal at the moment . Good luck to him in the future (except against Cas of course )

Classy reply, fair play to you

I like Walmsley and want him to thrive. He might be an all round better winger than Matty Russell. Would Russell have made that ankle tap? Maybe not. But at this stage in the season, when teams are fit and switched on, and it’s damp and cold, you need someone who can punch their nose through and find their front quickly to swing momentum in your favour. It’s unusual, but we might see Powell picking his wingers based on the conditions and the opposition, which would be a real luxury.

I went into the game and with the players missing that we had I was hoping that we would give it our best and keep the score respectable but came away thinking we could have won that, regarding Hargreaves, what a waste of money he’s proved so far, I’m 64 and could make more yards, they should have kept Storton, what a signing he’s been, outstanding

Jeez, he's not that bad......
Oh, and I'd ask for a re-count re your age too sunshine....
