Got to give a mention for Pickers as thought he was colossal today (and has been the past few weeks) it's always easy to label him simply 'penalty machine' but as has show in stats whenever I have seen then he is often leading the way for us in attack and defence. Puts some decent shots on and makes good hard yards. He is more than a very useful player for us!
Penny deserves a mention for 2 tries, one a fantastic solo effort. And seeing him put a shoulder charge on one of Sheffields big backs has to be worth the admission alone.
Leuluai excellent! Have said before this guy is what 20? Their is heaps of potential their, he runs in very hard and on recent performances his line running and footwork are really improving too.
Hulme is a real exciting talent one of those where when he gets the ball you can feel the anticipation rise, great try of the very good lines he runs (why he's a FB for me). Great try saver and had Bergin bot caught him on break away that would of been one of the special moments of Widnes to remember for a long time. Let himself down a little with errors, some soft others really though takes but he seems a confident lad and so shouldn't effect him.
On balance though got to go with Kurt Haggs! Worked hard in both attack and defence, kicked goals well which I'm got conditions can't be easy for a forward or any player when could do with a breather. Scored a good back towers try and his one on one snap tackle on Yere was fantastic too!
The problem with Danny's knock ons yesterday was that we was trying to time his run onto them at fast speed, add to that the sun in his eyes and the fact that they were good kicks, i think we can put it down to inexperience coupled with high enthusiasm..
My MOM was Penny. Keeps on improving and he's only 23 people forget this sometimes. Apart from Devlin and Blanch i have failed to be impressed with some of the wingers lately at Widnes. Penny could have got 4/5 tries today. Every breal/half break he was there to back up and support the play and his 99 metre try was fantastic. It's not common to see a lot of wingers these days with as much pace and enthusiasm as KP has. Would definately take him and Flynn to superleague no doubt about it.
Hulme played well. 2 tries, great try saving tackle and that 70 metre break where he got caught near their line was brilliant. A couple of the high balls he dropped dont forget were off very clever, tricky kick off from Sheffield which were difficult to deal with. Jack Owens has only turned 17. He has potential but that doesn't mean we have to rush him into the first team. Craven is just as solid as fullback as him imo.
Chaz and Mellor both had good games and we seem to create a lot more chances with them on the pitch.
My MOM
1. Penny
2. Mellor
3. Crosby (for his age he's massive)
