Ok he had a good game (2nd spell) against the worst pack in SL IMO. Wont get anywhere near the Exiles squad off the top of my head Lima, Perry, Puleta, O Meley, Vella, Mason, Moa and Cashmere are much better props than him. Wouldn't be shocked if Rovers don't try and release him and use his quota spot on another player. Rovers have 5 better props than him in Wheeldon, Lovegrove, Mason, Vella and Watts.'" clinton averaged more meters per carry than any other prop last season so hes hardly average

Quote: vastman "That team should steamroller us, it possibly won't, but it should.'" That team if fit AND on form. But it's neither atm and Mr Kear appears to be doing what he does best and delivering some unlikely results. Game on!

Quote: Easty "This average player was probably the best player on the pitch on Sunday.'" Good for him, I saw Chris Thorman give a MOTM performance against Bradford when he was at Hull. Stats can often be misleading, for example Dowes use to make a lot of metres per carry as he was one who ran it in from kickoff so use to make 20 metres drives a few times a game. He is an average overseas prop, another Peter Cusack.

This seems like a good season to build for the future and to plan for the departures of established players such as Vella, Galea, Colbon, Cockayne, Briscoe and Netherton. I would therefore give Sherriff, Latus, Hall, Beaumont, Wheeldon, Watts, Cook, Hodgson and Taylor as much game time as possible. 1. Sherriff 2. Hall 3. Webster 4. Welham 5. Latus 6. Green 7. Dobson 8. Vella/Clinton 9. Hodgson 10. Beaumont/Wheeldon 11. Newton 12. Taylor/Cook 13. Murrell/Galea 14. AN Other (Fisher/Cockayne etc) 15. Lovegrove 16. Cook/Taylor 17. Wheeldon/Beaumont/Watts

Do people honestly see Sam Latus as a viable first choice winger in the next 2 season?

Quote: MrPhilb "www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?hs1
That was in his last season with Hull, Like Clinton he got worst each year, as he become more of a plodder. These stats (their first full seasons) are more comparable. Both stats show that Clinton is better going forward than Cusack (I think I would have been in his last year) but Cusack was a much better defender. Still laughing? Both average overseas players that SL could so without (Nothign against Rovers, Hull have a couple that could be replaced within IMO).

Quote: EL CAMO "Do people honestly see Sam Latus as a viable first choice winger in the next 2 season?'" From what little we have seen I would say no, just a few small things in his game that suggest he is not a natural winger and like most have pointed out has spent time in the forwards. Think it was his break against Leeds, failed to change the ball into his left hand so he could fend off the defender with his right, to quality players these things are natural. Still if Morgan sees him as been able to do the job then fair enough, has done ok for us so far and did well against the numerous kicks from Long in the derby.

His positioning on power plays towards him is awful, look at the Leeds game. I just don't think he is a quality player ateotd. If we want to be a top team, homegrown or not, Latus isn't good enough IMO. Wigan don't promote a Latus.
