Definitely.

I was willing him to score today, he deserverd a try.

And what about some of the mistakes he made?

He was excellent again.

What's great with him is what you allude to, he plays within his limitations, plays to his strengths, only knows one way forwards and just makes tough metres with every carry.

His improvement this year has been tremendous to see. [size(Unless you're Steve Pickersgill)[/size

Apart from his try of course.

Would you agree with me that Briers was outstanding in the 2nd half?

Padders and FW in Bridge and Briers bashing session. Jeez, you two. Just sod off.

Monaghan MOM - ha!

To be fair, 1 in 5 voters on here have gone with this!

I'd probably go with 13 other ahead of him, maybe I'm just missing something, but I for one can't wait for Clarke and Higham to be back.

I'm actually hard pressed to put forward a MOM. Most pleasing was Westwood releasing himself into the game in the second half.

thats cos you dont no anything

Yep, I went for Briers, but Westwood was brilliant for me.

What typified his performance for me was his try saving tackle in front of the posts in the 2nd half, and in the next set he made a barnstorming run down the middle to set up a try for us.

I have never questioned his effort, but his form has been a little off by his standards, so it was great to see him stepping up and hopefully this will continue until the end of the year.

We really need the likes of him, Carvell, Morley and Briers to hit top form going into the semi.

League Express have gone for Westwood as man of the match

Lee Briers .............to considers clicking another button is stupidity beyond anything i can comprehend. (except licking the inside of a freezer)

Thanks to Dave T for posting some intelligent stuff on this thread

maybe i need to drink more than one pint before a game to 'get' the fascination with Michael Monaghan.....I'm afraid he's not for me at 7 or 9...
and in my eyes its a point of view that can be backed up, unlike the Anti Briers nonsense that usually fills a man of the match debate

Forrgot to mention Mike Cooper as an honourable mention. His game seems to have come together over the past month or so. In the main, he seems to have become more agile, he was guilty in the past of being a little flat-footed in defence but he hits and sticks, which wasn't always the case in the past.

If he improves at the same rate, he will have acemented his place in the 17 come the middle of next season. He may have played Rauhihi out of what little chnace he had of another constract.

It's a travesty that Carvell has 6% of this vote.

It's also worth mentioning how insanely crucial he is to everything that we do now, if Lowes had any hand in signing him then it's the best thing he did for this club, the guy is brilliant.

Aside from 'Jammer', is there a better prop in SL, or World RL ?
