Brendon : Sun Aug 22, 2010 5:01 pm  

Helliwell might of got man of the match today and fair play to the lad,his tackling looks better than presleys already but,who the hell would vote against Rawlins being the star man today?????? he was absolutely massive in attack and defence and his try was top draw.!Brendon was my man of the match today by a country mile,anyone with me??.

Helliwell looked better with the 1st team than he has looked with the reserves.

Whilst I acknowledge Brendon was great for the 40 minutes he was on I thought Helliwell before they announced it so I was quite pleased to have got it right.

Smart a**e.

I saw little of the game today ..all you annoying fans buying beer n screwing up me watching the game

But from the little I saw Brendon did look back to the best we saw of him in his first two seasons at Keighley ...........Mr & Mrs Rawlins (senior) visiting from Oz were in the crowd so that maybe had some bearing on our Brens performance ,but our 'Overseas' proved he can produce the goods when it matters....good stuff Bren ( n a great BBQ)

Luke has looked good in the Reserves and imho was our one shining light at the Barrow game the other week...think he has the potential to be a stand out performer in Champ 1 next year

I thought Brendon had an excellent game but Helliwell deserved MOM for mine (and those arond me).

His big test will be how he stands up to intimidation and being run at repeatedly by second rows/props. If he copes he could be a good 'un. He looks like he is prepared to get stuck in.

I'd take a stand off who'll stand up to being run at by a big centre to be honest.

Something which Presley time and time again wasn't up to.

Hopefully in the off-season Barry moulds the team in to a much stronger defensive unit because that's what did for us this season.

...and a bit of indiscipline creeping in, at times, resulting in silly penalties which cost us a good few points over the season.
