Well done Matty on the MOM. Great display on a bad day and yes he is a Saint Helen's lad ? So what he chose to play for Wigan. How many times has a Wigan lad lifted awards for Saints ? Quite a few times I believe.

Smith's kicking game was almost as perfect as it gets apart from one I can remember, and certainly perfect for the conditions. Was always going to be a forwards battle given how wet it was but none really stood out for me in the way Smith's kicking game did.

He kicked us round the pitch yesterday, turning Hull around time and time again.

You want a halfback to control the game and in those conditions his kicking was almost faultless. If Leeds were playing there yesterday, Sinfiwld would have done exactly the same.

I thought Hansen was outstanding , just the type of player needed in a contest like that game was. He was up against Ellis too who is still a top class forward.

Hansen was my m.o.m. Players like that are so undervalued by the media , but I'll bet not by the coaches.

O'Loughlin, McIlorum & Taylor were my top 3 personally. If there'd been more Ex-Players in the Media, I bet that the choice would have been different.
