He will go well against MOST of the teams in any RL world cup .....but so would today's Barrie Mc or even Stevie Pitchford.

Some of the people cribbing Webb I wonder if they were the same ones who were chanting" Brent Webb is superman"

Agreed.

Everyone knows the big clubs have to play crap and lose at the start of the season, so they can use their set allocation of good form at the end of the season when the trophies are handed out.

As the sky commentators keep saying, teams can learn something from leeds last season - by playing crap and losing at the start of the season.

Saints early season form has been especially impressive.

To be honest don't think many are giving Webb stick on this thread. He can be a bit of a liability at times, but he always has been. His attacking positives out weigh his defensive flaws and for me looks very good, back to near his best.
He has always played with aggression and I personally wouldn't want that to change,

Yes me too

A couple of things suprised me in lasts nights game, i was expecting you to win by a wider margin given the fact that you were at home and we were mising the likes of Michael Monaghan, Chris Bridge, Brett Hodgson, David Solomona and Ben Harrison, its encouraging that we only lost by 8pts as we also lost Steffan Ratchford during the game which disrupted us quite a bit plus Carvell was groggy for a good 10 - 20 mins.

The other thing that suprised me is you seemed to favour attacking our left rather than our right, with Chris Bridge not playing we had a 2nd rower/utility player playing at centre in Matty Blythe and Joel Monaghan on the wing who isn't the quickest winger in the league by any stretch of the imagination. Ryan Hall looks to be in top form and Zak Hardaker looks to be a handful, i thought you may have exploited our right hand side more.

You got the 2pts which is all that matters at the end of the day.

I think that the Wolves can maybe take more from last night's game than the Rhinos.
As has been said thay were without a number of players who will improve the side, they only lost by 8 points away from home &, but for a bit more composure from Higham, they could have scored a try at a critical point in the game from which we may not have recovered.
The return fixture at the HJ should be a cracker.

Us attacking down Wire's left had more to do with us using Watkins as much as possible and, let's face it, he outplayed Atkins.

Watkins does look good and seems to have a good understanding with BJB. Thought Webb looked dangerous down that side as well with the above two

I would like to see some who keep quoting about wire were missing so an so and they will be a better side when they do play, you cann only beat whats in front of you, there is nothing to say had they been playing the result would have been different, last season when they hammered us twice we probs had players missing, just swallow it up and move on I say, ITS A SQUAD GAME.

Your forgetting Rex Terp!
