He didn't take the goal kicks in a few games he played early in the season because of a groin injury (itself a sign of his determination to get on the park), but he's got 23 out of 24 when he has kicked. I agree that he looked nervous in the World Cup and his form deserted him, but he wasn't alone. He's tried that kick from the base of the scrum (the highlight of our World Cup) a few times this season, but the final bounce has beaten the chaser within 10 metres of the line on three occasions.

Aye it'll be mixed up with all the you post.

Thought Scarsbrook played well last night as well. He's still maturing but he's got a great attitude and ran some good lines. Definitely in the running for the international games later this year even if just for the experience of getting bounced around by the Aussies.

IMO, Scarsbrook is very over-rated and the only reason people rave about him is because he is from London. As for last night, i thought he got banged a few times, albeit he kept coming back, but looked very easy to tackle and always got up holding a part of his body as if he was injured. Saw him holding his hand a few times.

All players get injured. If we were basing the quality of the player on that we'd have had Scully, Cunningham and Long shot years ago.

I like LMS as a player, runs in hard and is of better quality than someone like Hargreaves.

I wasn't basing my opinion on the fact he kept getting injured. I was basing my opinion on the fact i don't think he's as good as people say and that i always feel he gets tackled really easy. I was just stating that he looked to be nursing a few knocks last night, after a few big tackles went in on him.

Rumours that LMS broke his arm last night. Does that make him a Southern pansy?

Saint Billy will think so.

What a soft sh*te! Playing rugby league with a broken arm.

He wasn't holding his arm when he came off which says one of two things two me. Either it wasn't broke, or he is no pansy!

I quite like LMS. I think he's got real potential and is developing well. He worked well on Friday I thought (I was keeping an eye open for him as I think he's a real character). I hope that continues as it's great to have a London lad with talent playing league.

Do you want to show me were i've said anything like that?

I've never really rated him, and i still don't. Playing with a broken arm, is brave but doesn't mean your a quality rugby player. Also, i said that he got up hurt a few times after some big tackle, and i felt that he was getting tackled very easily. It's my opinion, i'm not basing my opinion, on the fact he looked to have got injured a few times, i was quite obviously stating he was playing with an injury that seemed to come from a few big tackles.

hes a poor man's Sean O'Loughlin

He is ten times the man Frodo is.

But what's that got to do with anything, if you don't mind me being so direct? I mean, all rugby players get tackled very easily, especially those tasked with pushing forward. That's what defence work is, isn't it? And Fas got knocked out in the Leeds match. Does this mean he isn't to be rated either? Or Sean Long when he was injured in a tackle? I'm really not sure what the point is that you are making by linking your opinion of him as a player with being tackled and getting injured.

I might have used the wrong words, what i meant is i don't feel he runs his weight. Its very often the likes of Graham and Fas'avalu hit the defender but then continue to make extra yards, were as i always feel that Scarsbrook gets tackled first time far too easily.

The getting injured bit was just an observation from the match, i'm not linking my opinion to that, i just noticed he took a few knocks after a few big tackles were put on him. Fair play to him though, he kept getting up and taking the ball in again.

Ah, right. You mean actually brought down? He doesn't carry a few on his back for a while? I hadn't noticed that, to be honest. Maybe you're right, I don't know.


If he has broken his arm then he's a damn nutter!

Ten! I assume you forgot to type thousand?

I wasn't sure of the correct spelling of gazillion to be honest.

Fair point.

As a Quins fan LMS is good for London RL but I say it every week for me he doesn't run from deep enough. The word is he is the fastest player in the club.

Ive seen him "get beat" by rough packs in the past and get frustrated which is something he will overcome as he gets older.

As for getting up after a knock thats an improvement on his competition for a GB front row slot Fas'avalu who doesn't when getting tackled by a soft Leeds get and even a wigan No 7

He definitely did his wrist in the early stages of the second half. I saw him clutching at his wrist straight away after damaging it. He didn't go off and continued to take the ball up and he carried on clutching at it after every time he was involved in something, be it a drive or tackle.

I thought he was solid, that's more than most. Would have him at the drop of a hat at Leeds.

Maurie got up after both, and they were both big hits (even if one was illegal

).

After the one against Wigan, he got up, and give Tommy the thumbs up, then continued the game.
