1. Hansen - A machine, outstanding workrate.
2. O'Loughlin - Led from the front.
3. Taylor - Top class frontrower - should be an automatic starter next season.

I'd have Micky Mac in there.

He certainly got in amongst the Hull forwards, especially in the first half.

1. Micheal Mcclorum
2. Scott Taylor
3. Matty Smith

Also thought Lee Mossop was very good today.

Matty Smith kicking game fir the first 65 mins was immaculate. He then seemed to get a knock and stayed away from kicking for the last 15. If he kicks like that in the playoffs it will vastly increase our chances of winning.

1. Matty Smith, thought he was a well deserved recipient of the Lance Todd.
2. Taylor.
3. Hansen.

I should possibly reverse 2 & 3 because Taylor was probably more eye catching whereas H was out there for 80 doing what he does so well but I can't decide.

Yes you're right , i thought that was the game breaker , if Hull had scored then they would have lifted, yesterdays performance was team performance without any real standout players.

It was probably the best play of the game but it's man of the match not best play of the match. It was a forwards game.

For me

1: Lockers - I thought he was outstanding in both attack and defence. He helped the halves, he helped the props and generally made us tick.

2: Hansen - Brilliant work rate, looked shattered and understandably so.

3: Taylor - I thought he made a huge impact and really put them on the back foot.

Big shout for Matty's kicking too.

MM
Lockers
(Thornley & Mossop were very good too).

Lockers- he is the glue that holds the team together. He's our best loose forward, prop and halfback rolled in to one and gives the team confidence and space to play with.

Smith- Lockers makes his job easier but what a kicking display. He must now be in England contention.


Taylor- This lad is a beast and when he's mid to late twenties he'll be works class.

Lockers: how we've missed him recently
Taylor: great yards and getting better
Thornley: made some really important tackles and played his best game all year



PS: Josh's tackle back was the match winning moment: that could have let Hull back in.

Smith - Kicked Hull to death

Lockers - Showed why he is the best technical rugby player. His control of our defence was immense. He will never win MOS but is still the best player in SL. Does everything well.

Taylor - Best prop yesterday and looks better each week.

Matty Smith, superb kicking game,
Lockers, was Lockers
HH, what a shift he put in.

He can't kick like Sir Kevin....

Thornley & Charnley unlucky to miss out, both put on superb try saving tackles and Thornley did well to score with a sublime dummy and fend off.

1. Smith - Kicked Hull to death
2. Thornley - Great fend and step for his try and made some strong tackles
3. Taylor - Ran like a man possessed, he's our form player at the moment. If he keeps it up he could push for an England spot in the future

Does anyone have our defensive stats? I'd love to know who made the most tackles. Probably Lockers or Hansen

Hansen - immense eighty minute game

Smith - his kicking game was pivotal in bringing the trophy back "home"

Thornley - I've been a big critic but he had a great game.

Unlucky to miss out Lockers, Mickey Mac and Scott Taylor.
