I don't think Tautai has been as poor as many on here suggest. The only really error strewn game he has had was at Wire when he got concussed. IMO he should not have come back onto the field. His discipline is very good for a forward. http://www.superleague.co.uk/matchday/player/6334

At many points this season he's been the only prop offering us with some much needed go forward. There's much more to come from him imo. I remember him ruining us this time last year.

Have we had a player recently that's regressed as much as Crosby over the space of a year/18 months? He's a shadow of the player he was - an absolute liability in defence at times and gets through limited work with the ball.

Meanwhile I thought Mossop was very good last night and Clubb was his usual self.

Bateman is still the best prop, second row, centre and loose forward (all at the same time) we have at the club.

Also Tautai should cop a well deserved ban for that stupid tackle.

Regarding Mossop, i thought he was poor before going to Aus, and has been relatively poor since his return. However, as a bloke with buggered shoulders, soon needing one to be replaced, i am pleased he has gotten through a season unscathed. I hope we see a bigger improvement next year as his shoulders get stronger, and his confidence improves.

Crosby has been a mystery to me.. As you say, looked to be a potential world beater 18 months ago. Still time tho, props mature later.

And Joel Tomkins who was so conspicuous by his absence last night it only confirmed my opinion of him that he is bone idle, the amount of work Bateman got through last night should make Joel hang his head in shame.

I think you need to watch the game again. Bateman was superb though. http://www.superleague.co.uk/report/11954
