Some very average go forward stats from pretty much everyone but big Mose. He was immense last night.

Great to see wheeler back and if he stays fit and Percy comes back both Turner and lance will be looking over their shoulders which can only be a positive thing.

I think as soon as we get a few bodies back LMS needs a spell at Rochdale. Those stats confirm my impression of his performance.

Tbh. Hudds kicked to mosoe every time from kick off so his yardage stats are obviously higher than the other props. Also when looking at stats it doesn't mention time on the field. Ie mosoe my have done 13 tackles in 65mins yet walker or LMS have done more tackles in 40mins total. Think this puts things in perspective

Perhaps. But you only had to use your eyes to see Masoe making significant ground after impact and LMS getting stopped dead on every carry.

That's why his stats was so good for Samoa against the kiwis. He took about 4/5 runs off the kick off.

On the subject of LMS, I don't think he is match fit.

He appeared to be physically struggling at various times in the game.

I suspect he is putting his hand up to play when not really match fit.

His stats show a significant drop off in metres made from the Wigan game

In addition when comparing his volume of tackling. This is significantly less this year than in previous years.

There is also the argument that Brown came into the side in 2013, and the way Brown plays the forwards isn't suiting LMS.

That still doesn't explain why LMS only made 59m in the whole match. In fact, him being on longer shows him up further.

Sssh don't say that or you will make your self look like a prat apparently. honestly he had a decent game but from what he used to be last season to what he was last night it is a million miles away.

Mosoe was excellent last night. He said on his Sky MoM interview that he was 'still learning'. If that's him still learning then I drool at the thought of what he will do once he's passed his exam!

Are you worried about Masoe or something? It's just that you appear on here, strangely obsessed with him.

Not at all, I hope he becomes the player he was at penrith it would be great for super league, but some of you need to stop kidding your selves that he put in some kind of super human performance last night when in reality he is still playing well below him self.

Given most on here were fearing the worst (myself included) there's some pretty negative responses here!

Mose's stats backup what I saw, which is fantastic. For the "well he takes the kick offs" and "he wasn't on for as long as walker and lms" how come walker and lms' stats aren't boosted by kick offs when Mose is off the pitch? Also, we dropped 2 kickoffs so there weren't that many to return! It seems some on here won't be happy until he plays like a YouTube (are we allowed to say YouTube these days? If not, video sharing site ) highlights reel every game

Still missing too many tackles. I'm a bit confused as to how I feel about Wilkins contribution, he seems enthusiastic and does some great stuff, but also does some really poor stuff - same with lance. Flanaghan was poor, and seemed to be stopped dead every time. Everything tells me Dawson should be rubbish, yet every week goes out and posts great stats. I also liked the interchange him and wheeler had, where he'd go to centre in attack with wheeler outside him, and switch in defence.

Positives are we are still making breaks for fun, the attitude was better, and we for the first time in a while had a bit of bite back.

Negatives are there's still some question marks over senior players contributions, and were still missing way too many tackles.

totally agree with this post. I have just checked ferris and Crabtree stats for meters they only managed 76 and 78 . The only reason Mosoe got more was what you said

He was not on longer I believe he did about 20 mins in each half the same as mosoe
