Although his stats aren't particularly impressive, I was pleased with LMS contribution. He was aggressive taking it in. Still outworked by the brilliant Thompson/Masoe/Richards efforts but not a bad stint.

And yet, Jones had a terrible game last time he played and he's not the best passer of the ball either whereas Percival is better at serving his winger, assuming we go that way (which we didn't last night, to great effect I thought). Percival also kicked a really great conversion (two actually, regardless of what the refs said) and managed the match winning tackle under significant pressure too.

I'm not bothered what the stats say this week to be honest because what isn't in the stats is effort and aggression which is what got us over the line last night, along with moments of sublime skill from our backs (Tommy Mak's second try for example was just brilliant).

Again those stats show for the second week running the tackling was more spread out between the team. Roby still doing more than most, but at least he was not topping 50.

Lance and Flanagan did a fair no of tackles to take the load off Roby. On Flanagan, noticed quite a few games now he's working on the edges a lot more and combining with Turner and Makinson offloading inside and outside.

Makinson's 2nd gets better and better the more I see it. As Sky mentioned, to have werewithall to lose the first man by dropping his shoulder and then to hand off with the same hand whilst cutting inside... Superb.

He's developed a good fend this season to add to his (unseen for a while) acrobatic scoring style. If he could just get his positioning in defence on the line sorted he'd be a seriously class winger in the making IMO.
