Tom is quick but he’s as much about balance and footwork than raw pace. Doesn’t surprise me totally ax at the end of the day it’s just a moment in a game where you hit a certain speed. Doesn’t say whether a try came from it.

Surprised Arona is not in the list.

Jokes aside I’ve got Lee down as one of my players of the season.

I still don’t think he will ever be the complete deal as a winger though he’s still pretty good and he could still prove me wrong.

However his work rate is utterly astonishing and his bravery first rate.

As I say he’s not without talent but he’s definitely the perfect example of how sheer effort can take you a long way. He has improved in every facet of his game this season and you can’t ask for more. He may never be TJ but I’d be happy to see Lee on one of the wings for many years to come.

pleasantly surprised - I didn't have LK down as a speed merchant at all!
Must be quicker than he looks.
