1 Ellis - massive all round performance again (a "hanger on" according to a certain poster)

2 Watts - good to see such a big display, hope he can build on it going into next season

3 Talanoa - love his attitude

You talk a lot of sense most of the time 1865, but this obsession with westerman is getting embarrassing , he was very good first third of season, bang average or a bit bette than a bad bunch for the rest, Ellis as been head and shoulders above anyone! Your only saving in grace is if your related to westerman or BFF haha otherwise calm down, he's still young, maybe next season

Disagree. Both very different roles, for me Ellis delivers and role models the way every week. Chuck Mini in next year, it's a handy back 3.

Ellis outstanding
Watts,talanoa and sa all very good.

Ellis - Just a machine. I didn't think we'd get a better player than Sir Fitz, but Ellis is just brutal.
Watts - Under Gentle was a plodding forward. Gets better all the time.
Talanoa - like another prop. Just barges in, breaks tackles and causes problems.

If we'd have been smarter last night, we'd have had 50, no question. Just simple stuff like backing up, sitting on someones inside on a break, second phase attacks.

Rankin looked pumped up. I was very impressed with his work ethic and he's an honorary Hull lad now.

Agree with this, the new halfbacks should give us the ability we are seeking to kill sides off.

I like Rankin he has pace and good feet, he defends pretty well also, I'd like to him been given a run at centre in pre season.

He will get better when Pryce arrives, he will learn a lot from him, both are running 6s, plus he will have to train/play well to keep a place, so it will be win win for FC.

Sa was excellent too, especially in the first half. He should have been playing at centre for weeks.

We saw last night that Sa is basically made of Granite!

Notable mention to Azza. He is the type of player who if he is playing for the opposition you'd hate him.

Final notable mention to Travis Burns for the continuous dummy spits, poor passing and unforced knock ons he did. Cheers Travis, you helped us out no end last night

Agree he was excellent, puts on some big tackles consistently, think it was only his fitness that kept him out of a starting role

Or could he be the hooker/acting half we need? I could see him there and with Pryce and Sneyd on at the same time it would give us more skill and guile in the middle than we've seen for a while. Good option from the bench to cover any of those slots as well.
