Lam has played very well. The only knock against him is we've no idea how he performs in big games as Leigh have almost no experience of such. He's got a Challenge Cup semi-final coming against St. Helens in a few weeks so this will be his first real test. Personally I think he was unlucky to be...

In the final paragraph - yes. I haven't got my glasses on hence I'm mangling the names ...

Just to give you some idea of what you'd be getting in Welsby - if he plays as well as I'm convinced he will he'll very quickly be in the debate for the MOST HATED PLAYER in the NRL. Very similar in temperament to Owen Farrell. Just wants it that bit more than anyone else. Constantly getting in...

Abdull has an absolutely LETHAL boot. He punts the ball as high and as accurately as Matt Burton and his short yardage kicks are a nightmare to deal with. He's a bit of a late developer but since he nailed down his shirt he's been nothing short of excellent. The only question is - how well does...

He got absolutely RUINED by a 20-year old last week. Facing a two-on-one he tried to be a smart alec, bit on a dummy and the story is he's still running the opposite way...

Schuster needs to get his head sorted before anyone considers signing him. Very unprofessional to allow his weight to balloon up like he is. It's hard enough watching Latrell. But at least he's productive.

I don't think Cleary is the problem. It's the guys surrounding him. When he's had opportunities to put games away or to keep Penrith in the fight he's been pretty successful this season. Luai, though is way down on his best. I've always thought he's a top-of-the-ground player. When the earth is...

Bateman's wrestle has always been elite. If he gets a hand on you - you're going down. His defensive workrate was phenomenal.

Nah. They're more interested in Welsby. Looking to promote from within at halfback.

The word is out on Penrith. They struggle in wet conditions. Struggled to make yards in more than one game this year. Luai stunk the place up. Can't believe the talking heads make him a foregone conclusion at six over the Cronulla Golden Boy. Queensland will be laughing themselves silly.

$1.4m?

Would love to know the tackle stats for 11, 12 & 13.

Brooks outplayed his opposite number. But the credit goes to the forwards. Front row monstered theirs. The back row tackled everything.

Credit where credit is due. That was on Brooks.

Bateman is thinking he's back playing in Bradford with these conditions. Came within a whisker of knocking Cleary into the next universe in the first half.

Some players run on top of the grass. Others dig into it. Tigers and Panthers are neck and neck. But their thinking options are much better. You're in this if you take them into the deep water with your big forwards. Drown them.

To be fair - in these conditions losing a man for ten shouldn't be a major problem.

It's more fundamental than that. Under UK and UK-inspired legal systems .... "Whilst the waiver is legal, the organisers of such events, of which there are now many, cannot exclude or restrict liability for injury or death caused as a result of their negligence". Negligence here being the key...

Dave Bolton was an outstanding player. I saw some footage of him at six with Alex Murphy at seven for the British Lions. What a combination that was!

It's worth noting the UK government has just recommended a mandatory stand down of TWENTY ONE DAYS minimum following a concussion. Right now it's being aimed at grass roots collision sports but once you create a legal precedent the rest will soon be forced to follow. The potential consequences...
