Take a bow Luke Thompson : Fri May 03, 2013 9:10 pm  

Played his heart out tonight and showed the old has-beens I'm our pack what heart is.

TP, LMS, Laffranchi, Perry, Manu should all watch the tape back and they might learn something.

Excellent, tough, passion etc... absolutely brilliant performance. Ran his blood to water.

Pretty much agree.

Must have made 25+ hit ups and tackled everything. Ran his blood to water.

Unfortunately RL is a team game and you cant win a match with one player giving 110% and most of the rest giving 30%

He did and while he was doing it, the has-beens just plodded around watching a 18 year old kid take the Widnes pack on by himself.

Biggest culprit was LMS. Love see his stats, probably gave more penalties away than hit ups.

I'm looking forward to seeing Manu stats. I think he only touched the ball twice.

He was very quiet first stint touching it i think once. However in the last 10 or 15 minutes he was involved in some good stuff. Gave a couple of very good offloads, and a few dodgy ones. Overall however his impact was limited.

The likes of Thompson and Greenwood offered far more.

Harsh on Manu, he was returning from injury and did well, but he was always going to be eased back into it. Josh Perry seemed remarkably spritely for someone supposedly coming back from a muscle detachment from the bone. Does any else serious doubt he was ever injured in the first place? There wasn't even a bandage or piece of tape in sight.

Thought Thompson was absolutely outstanding
