He did alright tonight for a player below match fitness. I thought he looked pretty good all things considered. His ball handling was very good, he took the ball in and even showed a bit of pace. I was expecting far worse given the reports in here from the friendlies.
Both him and Ainscough had good débuts tonight but I doubt Pryce would have played has Richards been fit.

23997_1287161421.jpg [quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

My opinion is based on a Bradford game at Wakey, when on a number of occasions he was facing a winger much smaller than him (Wayne Price, if my memory serves me correctly), when it seemed like he all he had to do was run hard and the other winger had no chance. Instead, he shimmied, tried to think his way past him, by which time the cavalry had arrived. If someone would just remind him that he is a massive bloke before he takes the field, then he will do okay, but I think he forgets that.

Fair enough but as I said I think he did OK given he clearly isn't fit. We will find out come October. Mind you why he isn't fit is another question which doesn't just apply to him.

Unless he's changed. . . he'll always look like that. Or be off the park with a knock. He's physically a big lad with heaps of natural ability . . . . . but limited bottle, IMHO.
Hope you guy's pick it up soon . . . but not for the next two matches or at least the match after next

[quote="BBC":3ldafglw]St Helens, due to move out of their 120-year-old ground at the end of the season, desperately wanted to mark the occasion with a victory in front of a full house.... And Wigan were left celebrating inside the enemy camp for the first time since September 2003.[/quote:3ldafglw]

| IMO he really really didn't want to be on the pitch in the second half - Limped his balls off, until he got the ball, ran it in quite good and then limped some more afterwards.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

He punched his weight last night, knocking defenders off every time he took it in, bit unfit but that is expected, he absolutly creamed one of the Cas wingers into touch aswell. He played well I thought, one of the positives from the game. If he gets a bit of match fitness there is no reason he wont be in the England squad come end of the season if he carries on like last night, I was impressed.

Tbh he did a lot of this last night too. He seemed to want to step round people rather than going through them and ended up virtually tackling himself on more than one occasion. He did look promising though.

| Promising but what's the deal with his injury? Was the fact that he was limping after every tackle he took the result of his old injury, a knock he picked up during the game or just because he's a big drama queen?

He took a knock in the first half.

| Thought he played quite well the other night, although once fully match fit IMO he'll be much more effective in the centre.

| Easy to say, and I doubt if Nobby will do this, but I believe he could be a real threat to opposition when fully fit, and he aint gonna get that playing a game then two off, if we are serious about this guy as we seem to be, we need to keep giving him game time if he's fit, that's the only way we will know if he can deliver what I hope he can, the guy's a fekin monster, coached correctly and fit, he can do some serious damage for us.

7347.jpg When the ball hits the net, it's not Torres or Shrek, it's Aguero:7347.jpg |
|
| 6 attacking runs and approximately 3 tackles made.
Each of the 9 times, he got up and limped away.
An involvement of 9 times in 80 minutes.
He didn't make a single tackle in first 19 minutes and didn't actually touch the ball during this same period.
If this is the sort of "quality" we laud on here, god help us.
