Probably in the Minority but I like Lewis, good player with lots of potential, seems a great kid off the field and like lots of other tops pivots (Welsby, Tompkins, Connor etc) has a bit of niggle and passion about him.

Tonga might have been weakened, but so where England.

Young, Farnworth, Williams and Wardell would have played if fit. Add in Walmsley and Thompson too.

That's 6 players that would probably be in the 17.

No idea how Bateman gets in, particularly over Farrell, I'd have KKP in front of him too. Same goes for Chris Hill, decent player, but there are younger players as good if not better than him now.

Batchelor missing too. We had a fair few out - Dodd, Lomax etc if you count those as well

Which one, I rate the Rovers one highly, had a really good season.

Don't think Lomax or Dodd get in over Williams and Smith, but it's nice to have a bit of depth.

Percvial would be above both centres too.

I've no particular dislike for Lewis, some of the theatrics and petulance I've found annoying but generally that just comes from caring and enthusiasm, I found Connor irritating on occasion too.
I don't see much of Rovers and in the games I've seen he hasn't done much so I've been a bit baffled by the hype but he was excellent against Tonga, added a real running threat.

He spoke really well at the end I thought and seems a decent kid, as did Welsby tbf, another who can irritate me on the pitch.

He is.

Lewis is one of those players opposition fans love to hate. He's a wind up merchant and full of niggle.

He gave away a few daft pens. He needs to work on his defence too, but it was a good debut.

I'll support him in the England shirt but I'll go back to booing him in Feb

As it should be. I don't like it when fans take their club allegiances into the national team.

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Mon Oct 23, 2023 2:37 pm  

The petulance etc is what's needed players like that make the game

If every player was a "good boy" like Danny Houghton or Joe cator the game would be pretty dull in the grand schemes ( every sport needs like tompkins, connor, Bailey ) type players in it who get under skin

The sport needs biff back aswell its rugby league not netball
