That's the key. Some players do go missing in big games. Others are just made to look ordinary by their opponents as the whole team struggles.

I think there are many much more apt names for this particular pillock than a WUM though.

Him & Handley are huge. I don't know what the latter has been on over winter but I could do with a some. Both seem to lack self belief though.

I think our weakness this season will be at halfback. we have two new young lads who though high on talent do not yet have the experience to run a game, and to get the best situations for our dangerous players.

At many times over the last few years we have struggled to get Watkins in the right amount of space for him to do damage. This is not a new problem.

I am happy for us to have a bit of a lean year but persevere with Lilley and sutcliffe who I think have the ability to make it given the opportunity

Watkins had huge games in the Challenge Cup Final and the Grand Final last year.

If Greg Eden can get a shirt Watkins would take the NRL by storm.

Watkins has not started the season in form and is looking a little slower off the mark while Moon once again has looked a lot sharper. Let's hope he regains some attacking zip soon.

Kallum needs to roam around the park more in support play. He can't wait for others to give him a pass all night. If he was at FB we would see him in the middle more and be more dangerous in attack.

England haven't produced great centres in a long time, the backs in SL compared to the NRL are woeful... he would struggle to get a spot over there so you can't expect him to dominate against a good NRL backline.

I read some utter cack on here but this is pretty high up.

We produce good forwards, most of which play in the nrl, we also produce good 3/4. The problem is the lack of quality in the halves, the lack of depth and the lack of quality coaching. Remember we do pick centres from the nrl in Reed. Just because the have an all over tan doesn't mean they are better players.

He was outstanding in the second half.
