Kirmond......... Without a shadow of a doubt!

I'd call it a straight shoot out between Kirmond and Collis, with Kirmond edging it for his toughness, grit and the ability to put in a reet good Captain's knock.

No slight on Collis though - he's a genuinely class centre and it's a pleasure to watch him play.

I'd say Amor is the stand-out in the chasing bunch - he rarely has a poor game and is a real work-horse; tough as nails them Cumbrians.

I have been informed (and please don't shoot me down for this) that Cockayne has had a rather averga eseason start to finish - except he was on the receiving end of some quality plays at the start of the year which meant he bagged up on tries.

Just throwing it out there like - my thought being you'd expect your wingers to score a few

Sounds like you've been informed by someone who doesn't understand the game very well!

Cockayne started the season really well - was up amongst the top try-scorers and was making metres for fun; I'm not sure what else people expect a winger to do - he puts himself in the right place to get good ball from his centre, then runs like billy-o until he sees the try line!

He has however had a drop in form - ironically, it started around the time he got the England call up.

his strength is his overall involvement/determination/enthusiasm, metre making and of course finishing tries. One of the downsides of the first part though is that his weakness is decision making when defending. His willingness to try and shut down a play can leave us exposed where he should be.

Tbh I think you have been ill informed, but the amount of tries conceded down his side is becoming too regular.
