Who was the only member of our pack today that hadn't been subbed at the 70 minute mark?
Tyrannosaurus Trent that's who.

Who is our top tackler this season?
Tyrannosaurus Trent that's who.

Who is not only the top tackler but over 100 tackles in front of the 2nd top tackler?
Tyrannosaurus Trent that's who.

Who is our 2nd highest Off-loader?
Tyrannosaurus Trent that's who.

And to think people in the south today were still having a moan about him.

He puts in a shift which goes unnoticed a sign of a great player

I wont slag him off, but he leaves me cold.
Looked un-fit today, and was blowing every time he took the ball up (first half, especially), but improved second half
I'm yet to see this NRL gamebreaker, all I see is an OK Super League player

You can say that again !




Oh you did .....

Where did he get that tan? Or is it rust inm this great suMmer! Personally I think he is steady away and getting better.

Lefty you and I must be talking about a different player & game.

Can I just reiterate I am talking about Trent Waterhouse who was playing for Warrington Wolves against Hull FC today.

Best forward today was Carvell, by a country mile.

Yes, the same person who hardly took the ball up in the first half, and when he did, he looked ####ed.
I made a point of watching Waterhouse today, and once again, I was underwhelmed for someone who arrived with such a big reputation
I'm not in the habit of slagging our players off, but as I said earlier, he leaves me cold. He'll still get my support, though.

I don't have an issue with the guy's defence, I'm just not seeing an NRL leading player, with Test match experience, that's getting a big contract (I presume).

On this, I will agree. Must have run Atkins (who was SUPERB) close, for MoM

He'll come good just wait, like King

I sort of agree with lefty, Waterhouse is like Nikau or Rauhihi , he's not bad but I thought he would be more given that he was a top player in the NRL and played for the Kangaroos and State of Origin etc.

I would rate Darren Burns and Sid Domic above him and neither of them were close to being rep players in Australia.

Having said that if you went back to the first season Michael Monaghan and Matt King were here I would have said the same about them, and they went on to be top players from their second season with us.

Superb defence and starting to come good in attack.

Most tackles, second most marker tackles, second most offloads, second most tries among the forwards. His metres and carries are about average for our pack. All in a brand new team.

Still, he leaves Lefty 'cold'.

Yes he does leave me cold.
His stats are good, as he's not been injured/suspended yet, so he plays every game.
When he starts replicating his NRL form/reputation, then I'll start praising him.
Until then, as I say, I wont slag him off
