I thought Hardaker looked extremely good at fullback. He outshone Samkins today IMO, and he has hardly any experience at that level.

1 game and Ratkins was still the most dangerous pie eater in attack. He looks like creating something everytime he has the ball in hand even if his defence was iffy today. If you took Ratkins out of that team today Leeds would have cruised the win

I wasn't that impressed by him tbh. He was their most dangerous player, yes, but only because nobody else was at home and Leuluai wasn't on the field. Hardaker still outshone him IMO.

The run he did in the 1st half from dummy half was absolutely sensational.

Aye. For a minute I thought I was going to see a try as good as Hanley's for Bradford against Featherstone. I don't often bemoan the fact when a pie gets tackled but I almost wanted him to go the length of the field that one time just so we could see an ace try.

Tomkins makes Wigan very difficult to number up against in defence, because he moves across the back of the attacking line so quickly. Even when he is not making breaks himself he is making room for people like Carmont.

That's probably the reason so many gaps appear about three channels in for the 2nd rowers, because the defence are too eager to get out to number up on Stomkins.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

Tough call, I don;t think Wellens would have Mr Wane as his adopted dad, even for a short spell like a weekend for instance.
