For any knockers of our captain, I suggest they watch them 80 mins again because he was absolutely brilliant. Really put himself about and put some real bell ringers in.

Some captains lead by example rather than scream and shout and tonight I thought he was head and shoulders above the rest of our players.

I hope he can keep it up.

9 games in and has a fantastic game. Wonderfull!

yea played well for you, just a pitty we played leeds on sunday,
I must say we the mighty saints that is won and a win is a win

Yawn. Boring.

Thought O'Loughlin, Hock, Riddell, Ainscough, Leuluai, Feka & Coley played quite well today.

Fielden is in danger of getting dropped soon I think, and Phelps won't be playing FB again.

Edited for accuracy.

I agree O'Loughlin was superb tonight. Excellent in defence and strong in attack.

For me, top three performers were:

Ainscough
O'Loughlin
Coley

I've always liked O'Loughlin. I've never understood why he gets as much criticism as he does. Yeah ok he went through a spell where he made a few high tackles, but he seems to have ironed out his technique now. He's consistantly one of our highest tackle makers, and he's often good in attack too.

If we had another 12 player who played like this guy dies we wouldnt be in the position we are in now.

The guys a grafter and Fielden for one needs to have a good look at Lockers.

Thoguht Lockers was good and Ainscough in particular. Roberts had his best game, Hock looked dangerous. Gleeson and Hansen seemed quite for us but will have to watch the recording.

So sad...... And such a big man at the Kb...........

You going to bore us to death in all these threads?

As for O'Loughlin he was outstanding and it was his best game in the season although overall he has been pretty good.

Never a captain but a dam fine player.

well done o'loughlin always
admired him, ok not a vocal captain but leads by example

MOTM by a country mile. Awesome display.

i have be one of his critics and deservedly so but tonight i must agree for me he was man of the match had a fantastic game hope he continues,i love eating humble pie.

Correct.

One of our standout players week after week but tonight he was, IMO, the best player on the park.

Bloody superb tonight. Some of those hits were bone-rattling and his runs were more effective than I've seen in a while.

Well done Shaun.

Same, from a Bulls fan.

I thought he was outstanding.

He was every where in attack and defence & was even holding his hand up to take drives off acting halfback.

Top performance.

Would agree with that. Led from the front expertly well.

Ainscough's first half was brilliant, lots of work and came looking for more.

S'oL was superb tonight, real leadership by example.

Hang on.


I have to admit, good performance from about 20 mins in. I actually found myself praising him.


HOWEVER.


He gifted Stains their first try. Awful defence vs Fat Boy.

Oh dear.
