Atoni and Uele were my standouts but everyone did their bit. Lino went a bit squiffy in patches and another 10 yards would have seen Walmsley caught by BJB but on the whole, wakey just steamrolled a Sheffield side who's toolbox was empty. Those yardage penalties in the 1st half made it look close but without them Sheffield would have been nowhere.

Yeah everyone played really well and all did their part, but I'd also add Doyle to that list. I did think he upped that pace at the PTB and just got us going forward better when he came on like he does just about every game. Pratt also had a top game for us, probably his best yet.
I also thought the same at the time about Walmsley, not looking as quick as I thought he was. When watching the video back though, after Walmsley made the interception and his initial acceleration, I think he realised he wasn't gonna get caught and eased up on the gas, but BJB didn't and he probably got closer than Walmsley thought he would in the end.

Always harder to run quick when your looking behind to see where your chaser is, BJB, who is no slouch despite getting on, just had to focus on his target so gobbled up the yards.
Bish looked jiggered when he finally got to Warmsley, he was laid on his back really sucking in some big ones. In fact every time he did anything he looked to be struggling. Yesterday was really good team performance agreed Atoni set the tone and Uele carried it on.

Good player Walmsley, knows his job and does it well but he doesn't set the place on fire like TJ and to maybe a lesser extent Bish. Dunno the Bish leaving story but I think he went a bit early. He might be knocking on a bit but he still has his pace, he still looks very capable, probably the part time fitness regime isn't helping him much, but mebbe he likes it that way these days, I dunno.
