I don't remember Wellens gifting Leeds one try and helping them on their way for another, which could be why Wellens gets my vote as one of our good players last night and Meli does not.

Just about every time Wellens got the ball, he ran a maximum of 15 yards and then tried to offload it.

Rubbish. He never give up and gave a lot of effort but effort, in his position, is not enough anymore.



What about Wellens' pace for that try? He was in a good position but his pace let him down. Same with the 40/20 that Sinfield kicked. Wellens was outpaced by the ball and didn't even look like he was aware that it was a 40/20. Wellens used to be perfect but over the past two years mistakes have creeped into his game and he was exposed last night by Leeds in the same way the Aussies have been exposing him at international level.

Personally thought your best player was Puleatua who made some good runs when the other forwards struggled at times.

You know, people talk about Wellens' pace as if it is a new thing. We have always known about Donk. But that doesn't make him a poor player because he isn't a poor player. He worked his butt off last night just as he always does and he saved us from a try by holding the man up single handedly, among many other things. You can pick on his lack of pace all you want, he's won us far more games than lost us and he is still the best defensive fullback in the British game. He was great last night and I just wish some of our other players had played as well as he did.
