His attack is not 'very good' at all and his defence is so bad that he can never be considered any more than average. It's all relative.

Like I posted earlier, the RSG should pledge for McDonnell.

Yer, an average player would score 20 odd tries in an average team eh.

Webster, Hall, Salter. All 3 would score 20+ playing left centre with both Galea & Dobson putting them on a plate for you. Almost all our attacks go that way so it stands to reason.

Another reason Welham scores so many is because he still hasn't learned how to put his winger away. I would be more impressed if he could pass than score. Look what happened in Manchester when his winger finally got a pass.

Heaven forbid we should go for Brent Webb as a replacement for McDonnell, I feel I should warn everyone, I really will be a moaning Edit-AS then.

Not just you Duds, I'd add Keith Senior to that.

I disagree. Why would Senior moan about it?

Another fine display from our current No.1. Brilliant pass for Hodgy's 2nd.

I would plead with the board to reconsider and get round the negotiating table. Tomkins aside, there is no better full back in SL at this moment ( and I include Brett Hodgson in that).

The problem with that is we have no idea what he is after and we do actually have a salary cap to stick too.
I can just see the conversation now 'I want £250,000 that ok?' 'Sure we'll give you just over 1/7 of our total salary cap Shannon no problem'.
