A genuine RL artist. I love watching this guy play our sport. He is constantly scheming and even throws intercept passes in a class way lol. What a talent with ball in hand.

He is good to watch isn't he? I like the way he goes to the line with his shoulders square giving no indication of what he's going to do. He can fire any pass he wants to either side form that position. Also the top Australian half backs ( Johns was a master) have this ability to go to the line at half pace, drag defenders towards them and bring players onto the ball. British players tend to want to do everything at full speed.

He's always got something to say sure enough. I was watching him walk back with lockers while Pat was using his re-discovered kicking boots. he was pointing all over the field and making all sorts of arm motions about some part of the game. Also, every time I watch a game on sky plus when I get in, he's always got input on the team talk at half time if they show a dressing room shot.

Did anyone else notice that the dogboy intercept he threw at warrington last week, was a carbon copy of the one he threw in the cup match. The difference being of course that they scored because nobody bothered to chase him last week

I'll go out on a limb and say lump on him now for next years Man of Steel. By then, I expect fewer intercepts as our players become more and more familiar with what he is likely to do.

Have to admit, I chuckled at the one tonight. Rest of the team seemed to say ”Oh bollocks to it!”! :lol:

They did, except Josh! I know what you mean though. The crowd felt the same.

As to Finch. Class act.

Pure quality in a team of hard workers. Finch and ST are light years ahead of the rest at the moment!

I think his fitness must have took a massive dive after the neck problem he had pre-season and early seasson.

In the early part of the seasaon I remember seeing him really struggle to get back into the line and he looked leaden and slow. I must admit I thought we might have been sold a duffer. It was a huge contrast last night when he looked nippy and sharp all game.

Class

Best things come to those who wait.
Getting better game by game.
Just needed a little time to recover from his neck injury and settle in.
A top player.

I recall a post at the beginning of the season. Bourbon Rat said he was worth the wait. I see him adding a ring to his collection this year.

As for next year, I see him as a big contender for MoS!

Go Brett!!!!
