He was crap IMO.

Mose was very poor last night (as were 16 other "players" out there on the field), but to call him a disgrace on the back of that is a bit harsh, especially when he has made pretty good yards over the past couple of months for us...

If you want a disgrace, how about looking at Alex Walmsley? Is it just me, or does he seem to have gone abckwards since the start of the season? The bloke is 23 years old and doesnt seem capable of playing longer than 10 minutes without needing a rest...

He only made 52 metres in the match and I guess 40 of those were the "carries" from a drop out return and a kick off. he certainly doesn't like the hard work carrying the ball out from his own 20 under pressure. http://www.superleague.co.uk/report/10074

He made I think two good runs, the other carries he was crunched within a second of taking the ball.

To be honest I thought he was tackling quite well yesterday. His first stint on the field I'm not sure if he even got a run. We just seemed to tackle and tackle. But yep he was as dross as the backs yesterday, who I thought really hampered the forwards as they kept turning over most of the ball.

I was most disappointed with Soliola, who just seemed to be going through the motions

I think that it was straight from the kick off in the second half.

Mose had a bad game and came up with 2 errors, but a player like him isn't there as a battering ram for the hard yards in our own half (yes I agree he could contribute more, but that isnt why we signed him). Masoe is most dangerous in the opposition 20 on the back of a quick play the ball...neither of which we had last night. As I said above, I would worry about Walmsley's lack of ability to play longer than 10 minutes without needing a rest more than our other forwards as that is simply not good enough at SL level

But he only made six carries and two of those were the 20 metre ones I referred to from a kick off and a drop out. If you take those out then it would be 12 metres from 4 carries!!!

Pendentry corner: Was Jones DECENT ( i.e. not too bad ) or DESCENT ( going down)?
