He was excellent yesterday put in a real 100% performance. I do have one complaint though, he was wearing red and white boots, on derby day, what was he thinking!

and against popular belief he was my mom in the derby. Needs to play like that every week to deserve a new deal though

I would agree with you there on both counts dave, But he has to be fair not had much op recently but has certainly caused the coaches a headache now with selection mate!!!
thought he was outstanding against Warrington too, laid a few bellringers on their so called big guns...
Every club has a player like Ewan, solid, not fancy but always there when needed and thrives on the ugly stuff ( no offence to his squeeze who is a cracker by the way)

hopefully he will now get an extended run and show more of that , alongside Hame who has also upped his game along with everyone else we are looking solid at present arent we?

Also a thought back to Dowes , the train of thought is good props dont hit their prime till around 30 so maybe he is just naturally developing having worked alongside of Mark, Craig , Hame and sam and co who have more experience???

I admit I have slated him in the past,if he proves me wrong,brilliant.

I'd class James Graham as a good prop and I believe he is 25/26? I'd also say Dowes has more first team experience than Moa or Lauaki. Can see what you mean about turning up everyday and training with O'Meley and Fitz though.

I just think we saw a guy chomping at the bit for action, who's had to bide his time to prove people wrong and fight for another years contract..on that form he has every chance.

I can see your point but what i meant was maybe this is the speed in which he has personally developed and having Hame ogre etc who all have international reps to their name has brought something else to his game.

very much worth another year in my opinion
