Where the hell has his form come from? He's looked very impressive since Tony Smith has arrived.

I imagine his experience in Ireland playing in a team with responsibility and a good work ethnic has helped him focus.

Also the fact that under Cullen and Lowes they didnt know how to use him or where to put him.

Plus, he's getting extended runs on the pitch. He only seemed to play the odd 5 or 10 mins at a time in the past. Oh and add his family upset last year that lead to his time off.

Basically, fresh start and his chance to seize the opportunity.

He's quite experienced now too. He's the one really who Cull consistently gave gametime too, I know he had off field problems, but when he was available, invariably Cull played him.

top player will only get better too!

Good player, he's progressed exceptionally well since he first broke into the side. Cracking pair of guns, too!

I seem to remember that he missed quite a few games on compassionate grounds, but it looks like he's fully focused on his rugby now and we're seeing the benefit.

I thought he'd picked up a bad injury on Sunday, and was amazed when he came back on.

Looking forward to see him develop further, surely an international in the making.

A few more like him from our lastest academy recruits and we'll be doing well.

Already is ace, got a shamrock on his bum to prove it.

i reserve my judgement until he breaks his first tackle in open play.
Him and the 2 Andersons are a long way off Gilmour, Wilkin, Hook and Jones -Buchanon.

He's always infront of the RFL for gouging though.

not been the same since they took tha captaincy off him.

You reckon? I think it's more related to when he fell in love with that beautiful woman. Apparently everybody loves her, everybody wants her, everybody wants to take his baby home. I think that may be affecting him.

I bet he's taking it hard.

out of the top 25 tackle busts player league we only have Riley. NOT a forward in sight. Perhaps this explains some of our issues.

err?

News to be about a swap with our salfordian neighbours

How many have Leeds got in there?

Cas have had a good start, how many of their forwards are in the top 25?

What about Quins, they are doing well...
