Mrs Barista wrote:Not that much. He had a great partnership with Richard Horne and scored a shedload of tries running the middle channel on his shoulder. 4 tries in one game at Odsal. I remember on the way to Cardiff for the Challenge Cup final when news he was in hospital with appendicitis came through whilst we were at the motorway services, there were literally people sitting with heads in their hands. His contract re-negotiations with us stalled on the point that he was borderline international and was holding out for selection mid-season. So to suddenly claim he has risen to this elevated status on the back of his time at Rovers is overstating things.
Not at all. He's improved significantly under superior coaching/analysis from our world-class coaching set-up.
To add to this, I was watching Maka's hit on Wheeldon from last year's derby and it's alarming how fitter and stronger he is now than when he played under your regime.
