I agree couldn't believe he didn't run over the top of him to score

Yes he should, but Hardaker showed that without doubt he is the best full-back in the comp.

I can't disagree with Charlie's assessment upthread: Bateman, Williams, Bowen and Faz very good, the rest (with a pass for Manfredi and Gelling)...

Sign of a player lacking confidence, probably because he's been dropped for the past 7 weeks for Larne Patrick.

Any other fullback and he would have, I thought it was a brilliant tackle.

If only we could combine Bateman's heart and Mossop's physique.

A few years back we used to say the same about Karl Pryce.

I call it "Audley Harrison Syndrome".

Anyone else see that late try from JWH for the Roosters against the Eels?

That's prop play from another planet right there. Not much argument that he's the WBP, is there? The man is a beast.

(and that's not to mention the terrific long pass he threw for Aubisson's try)

Woods, Graham and Burgess must be in the argument and given Woods' age I don't think there'll be much to argue about in a few years. IMO of course.

Yeah, they're all good. I think Woods has some way to go before counted with the others, though. Unfortunately, none of them (or anything like) are playing for Wigan.

Sutton was really good in his limited outings last year and started this season really well against Widnes and Huddersfield (definitely man of the match v Widnes, winning try the week after against Hudds). Since then he's not really done anything as far as I can remember, maybe the concussions and Salford interview issue knocked his confidence?

Agree with regards to Mossop and Patrick. Mossop should be leading that pack like Hill at Warrington and Peacock at Leeds, instead he just looks like he's going through the motions till his stint is over. Patrick is worse than that. I've no idea why we are still persisting with him. Surely Sutton or C.Farrell are more worthy of the game time given that they will at least be here next season

It's hard to believe that even a lad from the U-19s wouldn't offer more than Patrick.

I can't remember ever being so disappointed by a signing as I am with Patrick. I thought he would have been a decent replacement for Taylor but he has been woeful. All he really does is acts as a dummy runner. Even the try that he scored against Hudds only came about because he had just gone through as a dummy runner and happened to be there. He offers nothing and shouldn't be in the 17, regardless of how poor Mossop, Crosby and Tautai have been, they're all above Patrick in the pecking order IMO.

Somebody on another site has stated we are in heavy negotiations for LMS and Eastmond, i personally hope this is true as they are fantastic RL footballers and would bring much needed fire to the team

Eastmond would be great, but I wouldn't be bothered about LMS.

They never come back from Union the same player.

LMS would be a good signing, but I can't see him leaving Saints.
