How come when Danny Orr wasn't playing to his potential there were lots of people criticising him and even suggestions of sending him back to Cas.
But now when he is lighting up Superleague with excellent play and is finally living up to his potential there doesn't seem to be a mention of his name anywhere? (I know he wasn't playing last nite)

Out of sight out of mind?
I grumbled horribly about him earlier on in the season but have to admit he is playing the game most of us want now, lets hope he continues to improve but last night after t'game in the players bar it was noticeable that he stuck with the Cas players who had come in rather than the Wigan lads.
Whilst on the subject I have to say that on last nights performance it is a good job we did not sign Mark Tookey as a short term prop, this young lad we had debuting (is that really a word?) was much more of an impact.

Orr's had credit where it was due, I too have was criticising earlier on in the season with good reason and have sung his praises more recently against Bulls and Leeds.
As for Tookey, he looks like they've taken him straight from the ale house, a right fat bugger. I was impressed by Prescott though as I have been with Hargreaves and Hansen coming into the forwards, they look good, strong talented players.

He'll not see his old mates much now, so he'll catch up with them when he gets the chance after all he sees the Wigan lads every day.
I too was less than impressed with him when he first came. More so because Luke was'nt given the same chance to get into form that Danny was,but he is starting to look more like the player he was at Cas. Still don't think he is as as good as he was at Cas yet,but at least now you can see him getting there.

True, but he stood out more at Cas because he was a class ahead of the rest of the team, whereas now he's just one star amongst many.
