i just think he "clocked off" for a second and that was enough. What made me think about it was his tremendous "read" of the danger situation late on in the Good Friday derby. Lomax put the short grubber kick in and Tomkins was onto it and away. Graham read the situation brilliantly and got back into a position to make the tackle.

Had he read the Obst play yesterday as well as did on Friday the try may well have been prevented, but perhaps I'm being a bit over critical (had Graham been subbed then?)

Blobby sums it up perfectly for me.

Although promising he didn't look 'laterally' mobile or to have much stamina when he came in last season.

The knee braces have gone and he looks a lot better this year.

Just hope he doesn't burn out and he is being flogged in the absence of Clough.

Dixon and Ashurst seem to have tailed off this season. I think they are on a wedge for fringe players
hence thay can't go dual reg and are stuck in the U20s.

Another Andy Platt / Clough type in the making.

Yes he was partly to blame from that little chip over by obst. He didn't see the danger then was to slow to react.

Thought jammer was pure world class when he came on for his final stint.

Jammer is pure world class.

I was more disappointed with (the otherwise excellent) Wilkin for the chip through.

He could have chased the kick much harder and, if he'd got there before Obst, he'd certainly have been in a good position to make the tackle.

Mind you, lets not detract from a brilliant bit of play from Obst - you can over analyse these things.

Neither Dixon nor Ashurt will develop without consecutive lengthy spells of game time.

I thought it was his best game he has had for us.

His defence was very good.

He's very promising but I'm not sure I'd want him at prop in anything other than an emergency until he can develop a bit more physically. He just seems to lose the collision a bit too often ATM but he's got plenty of time on his side, his aggression in both attack and defence puts him in front if Dixon and/or Ashurst who both need to kick on if they are to hang around IMO.

I definitely see him having the potential to be the next cloughy, starting out as a hard working backrower, but progressing to prop as he fills out

It's Magennis

you say McGennis, we say Magennis, lets call the whole thing off!

Translation: I'm so desperate to try and not recognise Graham as being truly world class that I'm trying to pinpoint every single move he makes because I will never believe he's the best British prop since Kevin Ward and better than anything Wigoon have produced since year dot. And in fact I'll probably quote this back and mention some guy from the 50s who ran through a couple of beer bellied part-timers in the 50s as being the best I've ever seen.
