I'm surprised he is getting some less than favourable plaudits. Powerful, in defence and attack, pretty good turn of pace, and knows where the try line is. Always enjoyed watching Louis play, he always had a big play in him when it was required.

I'm happy with Waterhouse as a replacement, so can't really grumble in that respect. In fact, I reckon he will thrive at Catalans where he will be expected to utilise his offloads more.

Fully agree with you on this.

Westwood gets a lot of plaudits (rightly), but Anderson has been 'the silent assassin' for some time. He's done well for us and I'm sorry to see him go.

Good luck Louis and thanks

Quality player. CC 2010 run he was immense and for that he will always be remembered favorably with me.

I get the feeling he may come back to bite us. Young and is improving with age. That try against saints at Widnes this year was class,

Agree with the later posts, Louis has been a very good player for us, and I hope his replacement is as good as he's being billed on here.

In some big games. He is a big game player. I don't mean he is poor for the rest of the season, but he does seem to save his best for when it really matters. His best is outstanding.

Always sad to see a player leave any club unless its Warren Stephens or Andy Bracheck!!
Thanks for the Memories dont forget to take your TWO Challenge Cup WINNERS medals with you!!!

cheers louis..

I always liked Anderson - maybe a bit too inclined to go for the big hit and, lately, a bit injury prone but all in all, a good servant and I wish him well.

I must be watching a different player. LAndersons work-rate compared to Westwoods is feeble, rarely takes the ball up in the difficult areas of the field, prone to errors with the ball and flatters to deceive with his 'big hits' which invariably don't stick and have been the cause of some conceded tries. Generally has one good game in about three and this season has been particularly poor, couple of times being utterly terrible (Hull at home in particular).

Good player but we can and will do better.

Perhaps not to the extreme that you are but I'm with you. I've never seen him roll his sleeves up and say take three drives in a set when you're really under the cosh, that's not to say he hides or anything like that, I just don't think he's the workaholic type, but maybe having Westwood doing that Smith has encouraged him to almost do less work but make it explosive, so make very run & tackle telling on the oppo.

I've enjoyed him, I think he's got better year on year (prior to this year) though I still feel there's a big 3 months in him. He's always conducted himself well, has given no less than 100% when he's took to the field and I'm sorry he's moving on but he is certainly replaceable. I'm pretty open minded ref Waterhouse, I just hope he continues the trend of our overseas players recently slotting straight in seamlessly.

Oh definitely he is a good professional no doubt but the thing is with the ball carries he rarely puts his hand up in exit sets and generally looks to carry further up field in attacking positions. I do think he is a bit lazy on field, he isn't 50% of the player that Westwood is. Not sure how he compares in tackle stats either.

Get the feeling Waterhouse will be more of a match for Super Ben.

No pressure then Mark - after a couple of quiet games at the start of the season, I bet some of our lot will be singing 'Trent Shithouse'....

for landerson, see guisset when he left.
