One of those errors would have been the kick palmed back to Carmont early on, that was adjudged forward (couldn't tell from the South whether that was the right decision or not), so not really a big error. I though he had a good game.

Agreed. Lima = BEAST!



He is, but he's a fantastic player already. The fact that he still has potential to improve but is already the top British prop in SL is very exciting. The big question mark is how injury prone he is.

The perils of stats. Hock effectively had a game's rest whilst playing on Monday, I'm certain as agreed by the coaching staff. Yet on Good Friday he had a magnificent game yet he made 2 errors and gave away 2 penalties, crimes for which some on here had previously classed him as a liability.

Oh I'm aware of that, that bit was a bit more tongue in cheek to the people that complain about his error/pen count.

There's not a pair of shorts in existence that can contain Lima in this form!

Worrying news for the guy, to be honest, given that we have to play St Helens again this season....

At times when he was walking up to the defensive line after a big run, he looked like a scruffy kid with his shorts hanging as they did... Looked really funny. I think others had "wardrobe malfunctions" too, i'm sure i saw Sams ass at one stage....

Whilst i'd agree Lima has been immense for you this season I think Andy Lynch probably takes it for me as best prop in the league. He's been a great signing for Hull and perhaps doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Certainly between Lynch and Lima. I don't always think stats tell the full story but when comparing the 2 it's pretty level although I'd guess Lynch has been getting through more minutes then Lima and that as well as obvious club bias is why I'd go for Lima.

Both have been excellent though and have stepped it up at a time their clubs are missing numerous props.

I think you're right about the difference in game time. Lynch in making 141m per game compared to Lima's 124m but that's while making an extra 6 carries a game. One difference is that Lima is making 8m per carry compared with Lynch's 6.5m.

While I'm on about props I think Prescott must be pushing for international selection this year. He's making nearly 100m a game with 7.5m per carry and hasn't missed a tackle yet. Also I think teams might've stopped kicking to him given the damage he does on kick off returns.

Teams kick to the same side on kick offs, usually towards the prop standing on the right hand side. In the last couple of games Prescott has been on the left, which I can't really understand as he can be devastating returning kick offs.

His kick return against Wire where he sent Atkins flying would have been the best hit up of the season had he not lost the frigging ball!!

Prescott is one of the most underrated players in superleague IMO. He should certainly be in the side for the Exiles games IMO and let's have a look how he gets on.

England need to start going away from the old guard of Morley and Peacock before long because to me them being able to play in the world cup isn't certain and other options need to be explored before then.

You mean had he not had it ripped out

I understand the need to have some old experienced heads in the front row and I've never rated a prop higher than Morley throughout his career, but he's finished. Prescott in!
