Fully agree with this, I also can't see him being on a king's ransom.

He's looked solid without looking outstanding for me. I've no complaints with him being in the team.

Given that he was thrown in at the deep end, Jones has done well. However, for me Wheeler is the much superior player (at this stage in Jones' career anyway) and so when fit he would be a shoo-in for that spot.

I'd go a little further and say solid with some nice touches.
He's looked a lot better than, say, Chris Dean did in a similar circumstance.
He doesn't just fill a shirt, he does contribute.

Given he's only 18, I'm pretty impressed. He's not a good as Wheeler, but he's available every week.

It may be tough but 76-0 against a team of part timers and I'm afraid to say Lance just wasnt at the races. It would have been a game like that where you'd expect a world cup winning international player to be ripping them to pieces but he didn't make a single break in the whole game.

To me, he looks like a player that will be back in the NRL before his contract is out.

He's looked poor all year apart from the one game against Leeds.

Not true. And in our last game his excellent chip kicks brought two tries.

Put it into perspective, Leon would have score 4 or 5 tries tonight.

Only if he decided to turn up!

He looked as though he was playing to orders last night with a passing game. Trouble is we didn't have a passing game first 20 mins, it was all one man rugby, individuals trying to look good against weak opposition.

How did Joe Greenwood go on debut ?

Didnt get much game time,made a break but Lance cocked it up though
Big lad who looks like he could do some damage out wide In the future.

I'm starting to get a bit worried about Lance and nervously contemplating being stuck with a bit of a lemon who's on big money and is clogging up an all-important overseas slot for the next 3.5 years. Not too many players ever got out of second gear on Friday to be fair, but most at least showed flashes of quality and looked like top class players in bursts - Hohaia however was completely and utterly anonymous throughout and posed about as much threat as one of the corner flags. That's incredibly worrying against such limited opposition....

I'm surprised - or perhaps I'm not - that nobody has criticised our coaching staff for leaving a sub unused on the bench on Friday. Flannery was on the bench but didn't play. Oh, and Greenwood only played for the last 10 minutes (to those who thought the days of using a sub for the last 10 minutes were over ... ).
