He has been absolutely superb in recent weeks and against leeds, I and a few others in the scaff thought that he was our man of the match.

He keeps his head down, tackles like a beast and chips in with tries.

Are we looking at another good un off the production line? Only time will tell.

I don't think he's been superb in recent weeks, solid yes, and i don't think he was our man of the match last night, or even close. However, i do think he has been solid for us for the last few weeks, but last night was a very good performance, along with Ashurst. Many have wrote some of our youngsters off, and last night they all stood up and was counted, and showed that they have potential.

I hope he keeps his recent form up for next 12 weeks, he might keep wilkin out

Bye bye jon

Andrew Dixon, does anyone else think he looks like an english gentleman from the 1960's?

Well said.

As is Flannery.

I honestly don't think that Dixon or Ashurst are anything but average, especially if you compare them to the likes of Tomkins, Mossop and Farrell at Wigan.

Watch out for a kid by the name of Jack Hughes, he looks very useful.

Flannery was superb saturday. But for lee smith might've had a hat trick. Seemed a natural at centre.

Do you mean the one from Dock Green!!

Do you think they teach them to do ankle taps with the chin over at Headingley?

Tomkins is nearly 3 years older than Dixon and Ashurst, Mossop is nearly 12 months older than them. As you yourself often mention, that kind of age difference, especially three years, can make all the difference.

They are certainly doing more in our first team than Tomkins did in yours at the same age.

Accepted, but I'm also basing my judgement on what I have seen of all those players at junior (academy) levels.

Never seen the fuss about Joel Tomkins if im honest.

Mossop is a decent player though.

Ashurst and Dixon are good players, Dixon has impressed me in recent weeks.

I think he's one of the finest back rowers in SL, cracking player.

The lad played well but he has done nothing more than a steady job at the moment. Some people tend to get a little bit over-excited when a youngster comes into the team and this might be one of those cases. He has potential but for anyone to suggest he might be a better regular choice than Wilkin is ludicrous, at the moment at least.

If you were picking a man of the match from Saturday, there would have been seven or eight in front of him.
