Agree totally.

He's had good and bad spells in his time in the first team at Wigan but hopefully now is the time to kick on and become as good as he should be. He's got all the attributes to be a real handful and in all honesty to be an international backrower.

Consistency is the key.

I know people look at the 2 x penalties or 2 x dropped ball a game he can sometimes give away, however, I like to look more at the Physical threat he posesses when he is on the field.

It's a bit like the Hock situation, people talk about him having a Brain fart etc bu with aggressive type players you get that sometimes. I thinkif you ask these players to "Play Safe" you take too much out of their natural game.

A lot of people were looking for him to be left out late last year in place of Flannagan/Mossop but for me he'd be on the field as much as possible because especially since Hock's ban I think he has been one of the few that have given us a bit of Mongrel.

His 1st half last night especially was outstanding and I believe he has all the attributes to be one of if not the best 2nd rowers in SL.

I predict he will be on the plane Down Under end of season.

That would be the one where he went up for the ball surrounded by four crusaders players and took it faultlessly and then kicked it into the crowd when the ref pinged us I never saw the late hit I was too busy watching Phelps - he looked well pi55ed off and rightly so, it was a superb catch and we should have been able to build on it.

I've always worried about his ability under the high ball but last night he was solid - I think someone has been having lessons from Mr Radlinski Dunno when Vievers is going to get a look in, hope he doesn't become another Briscoe and have to leave just to get some gametime. Maybe Madge will rotate where we have cover.

It's good to see people giving Amos, Stu, and Cam credit. And i'll reiterate again what i've said previously, the things that Cam offers going forwards are worth their weight in gold, especially when trying to crack a good defence - it's an even bigger bonus that the lad is essentially on buttons to. £ for £ i'd say he's the best option in Super League.

Good solid performance last night I think Amos has had a new change in attitude him and Gleeson combined very well, the forwards looked stronger and fitter even Stu impressed me. I know it was a game we were expected to win by a big margin but if it gives us good momentum into what will be a tough Hull KR match it’s all good.

Players should be paid what they are worth... IMO Cameron should be on a decent wage as he does very little wrong and brings alot to the side... I think we enter dangerous territory as a club when we screw players who deserve more than they get paid.... I only know from my experience of the work place... if you pay people peanuts and less than they deserve, it only bread jelousy and contempt.

IL pay him what he deserves... we should'nt be celebrating the fact that we have a player who gets paid very little for what they contribute... just like we don't like it when players get paid a fortune when they bring very little to the team.. aka Stuart fielden over the previous 3 years...

IMO we should champion the fact that Wigan is a club that pays what players are worth and rewards both commitment and loyalty..

Good team performance.

O'Loughlin was immense in defence and did a pretty good impression of a brick wall for most of the game.

A lot of the pre-season talk has been about our fitness and defence so i was pretty suprised with our organisation and attack at times - we looked to have a lot of options going forward which is very promising for the rest of the season, Deacon, Riddell, Tommy L, S.Tomkins, Gleeson and Phelps where all on fire and looked pretty free to play 'off the cuff' at times.

Special mention to the people that made the flags on the south stand, they looked epic from the West stand.

Even the music has improved!

You don't need to worry about Phelps!
He's getting paid a nice tidy sum & I'm sure he is more than happy with it!

I wouldn't call what he's on Buttons!
Other than that I pretty much agree, His positives far outweigh his negatives & I wouldn't be surprised to see him somewhere near the top of the "Try Assists" charts given an injury free run.
He is doing for us attacking wise what Wellens did for Saints, playing like a 3rd Half back and opening up options for other runners as the defences are having to watch him.

I shall reserve judgment until we've actually played a good side.

Me too.

I agree with you totally mate, I was merely suggesting that it's nice that we have a player who's continuously 'performing above his current salary and experience level', and I really hope he continues to develop and secure a longer deal. He's a classy player with a lot of heart, who's been doing a fantastic job in my opinion given he's not even had a full season playing at fullback in his entire career.

We had a 10% increase in attendance on last season's game against the Crusaders.

In addition, last season our attendance versus Hull KR was 13,415.....surely if the Robins bring a good 1000 -1500 we can expect approx 16K on Friday night...??
