| My vote goes to Man Mountain Mini
I will personally send him a letter to thank him for his immense performance in the final and the games in the earlier round
He was utterly immense and it's no coincidence it was him who fell on the ball at the end of the game
A total Professional and I can't think of a better role model at present
Good on ya Mini

| It was also Mini that got pushed out of the way by Currie who would have scored if not for Houghton

Was sitting almost opposite. Currie ran at the line towards Sneyd with Miniciello coming to assist. Sneyd went high and was knocked out of the way with Miniciello being partially impeded by Sneyd's attempt. The combined tackle attempt took some momentum from Currie's run to the line enabling Houghton's cover tackle to prevent him from reaching the line.

| I thought he was quiet - amazing how people see different things. He was good defensively but well covered in attack

He had a good game, but not as effective as he can be. None of the forwards (hookers aside) from either side stood out particularly, they just all cancelled each other out. It was a proper arm wrestle.

| Maybe the Stats may show who did what but sometimes it where you make the yards and when you make the tackles
I've watched the game once and the 2nd half 3 times and he always seems to be working hard and making yards and tackles
Regardless of the Stats I truly love what he does for the team week in week out

| Had a dig on Mini to be man of the match but it was clear from fairly early on that Warrington had talked about not giving him any time to move. He was handled very well so couldn't have the impact he normally does but he still came up with some mighty strong carries and as usual was solid in defence.
Talk of him getting brushed off by Currie is pointless. It's obvious that he's just a very selfless guy and wanted Houghton to take all the glory!

watts is every bit as important to us as taylor IMO. Had a fantastic season and we often struggle in the games he doesn't play

| I actually thought mini was kept quiet
Watts was good I agree
But I'd call ellis as best forward. 37 tackles and only played 60 mins. Had a good influence again when he retuned

Agree that Ellis was best forward for us. Just wanted to give watts mention after viewing in a calm way. Thought Taylor was solid but not at level he's set this yr. Was hard for all the forwards as Warrington really did match us in that area. Not a criticism as years gone by that wire pack would of won game but our pack is relentless as they just keep going so the opposition can't just dominate for 60 mins thinking games won. For years we've spoke of mental toughness. Don't think I've ever seen a f.c side mentally stronger

| Agree about Watts after a re-watch.
He was very good.
