Its not as shocking as hodgeson being in there! dallas made him look even more of a fool on monday by just running around the outside of him!

He's been playing well lately, better when they've played him on the wing. I thought he did well to keep anywhere near Dallas. Going forward he was causing us some trouble, he has good footwork and he's strong. Still think we should have kept hold of him last season.

Think we were right to get rid of Hodgy, nice guy but wasn't good enough here. He did have time to prove himself just like Aspy has had.

Tickle should take some reponsibility in the kicking game, like someones said we need to sort this out, far too predictable at the moment.

He did prove himself, the season before last he was top scorer and a strong tackler. It was only last season after his achilles injury when we rushed him back for the CC Final that things went pear shaped. He is now playing very well for Salford, having a better season that Vaealiki has had so far.

Got to agree with you, Rob. I've seen it so many times before, particularly with backs - they come back from injury and play week in week out, but it takes ages and ages for them to hit their previous heights. I've seen it with Lydon and Bell, and I think we are seeing it now with DV.

My biggest concern is that Lockers and Hock will take all of next season to properly return.

I can see tickle becoming the new farrell. He has the ability to become like him and tickles determination is superb. I am very shocked that he isnt in the great britain train on squad.

I can't be bothered to set you right about Tickle. I've do it sooo many times on here!
