| Quote: Staffs FC "Not a bad player in the ranks tonight props and Ellis were huge. Shaul and Tala very good. Halves solid but have plenty of improvement in them. Millers enthusiasm is refreshing.
Hope Tala is fit for next week - hurt his leg late on.'"
Almost spot on my thoughts, Ellis was an absolute colossus for us tonight, a real captain's knock, and the starting props in particular really ripped into Hudds.
I lean a bit more to Jake's thinking on Colbon though, he was a weak player in the ranks. His 'attempt' for their try was pathetic, worse than either of the two Arundel was being pilloried for on here. We need another fit winger quick, I fancy Rovers to pick him out next week.

| Not many errors or soft penalties.
Solid defence, Good kick and chase, Quick play the ball, moved the ball about, plenty of good dummy runners.
Seems that Radford is finally addressing, what the fans have been shouting out about for quite a few seasons.

| Quote: Jake the Peg "colborn is slug slow, can't tackle, is afraid of high kicks and is regularly out of position. Other than that he's been pretty average. I'm amazed hudds weren't peppering him with kicks tonight rather than the ultra safe jamie shaul'"
Judging by Radford's post-match comments, Hudds had identified Shaul as our weak link after the last game of last season. Backfired for them.

He also goes missing when the ball is kicked high anywhere near him

| Well either way, Colban is only in the team until Linehams fit.. Possibly maybe whiting to wing if sa comes in shortly, if he does.

Speaking of high kicks, did anyone else think that a couple of times when we kicked to the right corner Colbon and Whiting actually struggled to move up quick enough to challenge for the ball? Whilst it was ok tonight, that lack of pace on the right was evident and is a concern long-term. Reinforcements can't come soon enough.

| I think with Colbon we knew what we were getting. He's a cheap squad filler who has a lot of experience and can come in to fill a hole when Lineham or Tala pick up a knock. He doesn't have any pace, and will never be a game breaker, but he's steady and gets through plenty of graft.
On the subject of wingers we have to tie Tala down to a longer contract, he looks better every game, so strong in collision.
Carvell and Ellis stood out tonight, and Paea is a machine. It's laughable that Rovers tried to claim they had improved on him with the signings of Poore and Weyman.
It is really frustrating when you see us play like that because it just makes you think what the hell were we doing against Widnes and Salford. If we show that level of commitment every week then we will finish in the top 4, but I half fear that we will go in to our shells again and lose next week.

| knocking Colborn for the try, really..he got stepped, a lot better wingers will have being beaten in that position. If we are going to knock players for attempted tackles then the attempt by Westerman (Not Westwood of course..doh) when Chan came through and subsequently got tackled by Shaul. That was the weakest tackle attempt I've seen in ages...in fact since turnstyle Chris Thorman

| was a good performance, frustrating we haven't had many like that so far this season, would have liked to still e in the CC, but we aren't. Hope we go on to win the next 3, season will look quite different.

You're right, Westerman's was poor. Colbon's still was too, though. It was how easily he was beaten, not just the fact that he was.

Next 5 are winnable.

Colbon is a stop gap. His attempt for their try was as bad as Arundel's efforts last week. However other parts of his game were satisfactory without being stunning and he does have some enthusiasm in his play which I don't always see in Arundel (my opinion obviously). He is also an out and out winger so that puts him ahead of any other player for the wing position as things stand with injuries.

| I would rather have Colbon on the wing than a centre on the wing.

Both were poor, not sure why the comparsion though from bewteen Westerman and Colborn, westerman was again outstanding and I bet him made 40 tackles and over 20 hits up, I think he does play too many minutes and would benefit from a short break and the reason he missed that tackle.
Apart from that Colborn did Ok, but in reality we dont have any other options, he is the best we have in that position.
My big concern is that teams will target him and also kick behind the wingers, as both our wingers as both seem a bit slow getting back.
