Hadley has varied from solid to class every time he's had a shot this season, nothing seems to shake him and he just gets up and keeps going. Ellis influence I reckon.

Pace is essential in defense though. Castleford exposed this weakness last week. Widnes were a very weak side.
"You have got talent but talent will not take you to the top" This lad has enough talent and mental toughness to take him a long way in this game.To give a display like he did after so much flack he showed he has the makings of a great player.What did Carlos do last night? Abdul was the dominant half by a country mile, he created more and threatened the line more. The difference las night was the forwards ,Taylor ,Bowden and green made more metres than the full pack did against Cas and Abdul made the most of it. Radford has to take some credit ,he got his selection right and used his interchanges well, he has some big decisions to make, some great performances from Hadley ,Green and Bowden who looked fresh and aggressive .

They're right though. Abdull outplayed Carlos last night. The play to beat 4/5 defenders for his try was top class, just imagine what he could do if he was a couple of stone lighter and as fit as he should be.
Carlos just isn't doing it for me. He seems to labour with the ball for too long, either putting too much pressure on the man receiving his pass, or he takes so long he has to take the line on. It doesn't look like he sets any plays up before he gets the ball, which is fine if you're Rangi Chase and everyone around you is on your wavelength.
