Steve Michaels : Sun Aug 28, 2016 10:06 am
Every single player played their part in creating history yesterday, and we can't fault any of them for giving us the greatest possible day. And while deservedly, people like Houghton and Snead will take most of the media spotlight, I wanna give big raps to Steve Michaels for his efforts yesterday.I don't think Talanoa had to field a kick all game. Everything went to Michaels and he came up trumps time and time again with some brilliant catches under pressure. Maybe Wire assumed he would freeze under the pressure but he handled the occasion brilliant, and with some strong kick returns in there too.
I've liked him throughout the full season. A strong defender and always reliable in everything he does.
I understand he may not be with us next year, but I can't believe no other team has come in for him. He has proved on the big stage he is a good addition to any team.
So should he leave, I'm delighted to see him leaving with a Challenge Cup Final winners medal.
And I bet he had a right party last night!!!
