To be honest I always rated him, but my rovers mate says he is a liability. After viewing the game tonight, I would say I have to agree? Looks lightweight and unable to tackle. Is Ratu a better option for you?

So you've ALWAYS rated the player but after one performance tonight he now can't tackle and should make way for Ratu. Thats some drop in estimation in eighty minutes.

For me he has always been a bit over rated by some, mainly due to him coming through the academy. He lacks the pace and size to be a top quality centre, and his defensive decisions leave alot to be desired. For me, Ratu is a better long term option, but just to throw one into the mix, I wouldn't mind seeing Liam Colbon in the centre to see how he goes. He's got the size, is quick over 40 yards. its just whether he'd suit it defensively imo.

he looked out of sorts last night IMO, Cas had a lot of sucsess down his flank, but weve seen what he can do so hopefully he can et back to tha standard.

This is the same Kris Welham that so impressed in pre season last year that he got a starting centre spot in competition with a former GB centre is it?

Wasn't Ainscough(sp?) playing opposite Webster/Cockayne? It was good to get the result last night, but as a team playing as we did the only other teams we would beat playing like that are Salford, Catalans and Harlequins.

There's lots of scope for improvement from all the players.

Going on what I read and what little I see of him week in week out, yes, he looked alright to me. However I prefer to go on the opinion of people that watch him week in week out and give an honest assessment of a players ability. I was specifically watching his tackling ability and it was rubbish. If that's a blip then so be it.
