Agar made a good decision for us with Lyne.
Chester has done well to improve his skills as a centre.
Tupou was signed by Brian Smith. There has been lots of "he'll never make a centre" but he's just made the best centre his skills allow. He's not a Collis with the little pass he's a runner who busts first and passes second. Again credit to Chester for recognising what he is rather than try and make him into something else.

Tupou, runs like a centre but seems to hit very hard in the tackle.Our backs (from 1`-7) all seem to be going well and with Hampshire and Finn working well together, lets hope that we can have a strong finish to the season.
The pack always looked strong and they can compete with any pack in SL.

Tupou took some time to shake off that nightmare debut in the middle 8's at Salford. Failed to pass out to an overlapping Richard Owen (?) and bombed a certain try by getting collared. We lost by a tight margin. Nice to see him give a rare pass to Johnstone on Sunday that lead to TJ creating a try out of a half chance again.

Who played opposite Inu on Sunday? Was it Lyne or Tupou? Whoever it was Inu had him in his back pocket all game. Inu is classy, but made his opposite number look dreadful in defense on a number of occasions.

Inu was that bad he was desperate to take the kick offs so he didn't have to chase them....

Granted his match fitness was not up to scratch so to speak, I doubt many players would be with it been his first match back from injury in a long while so if you ask me that was quite smart to conserve his energy.

Is there a hint of jealousy there that he turned you down to join us? You know you were in for him!

Inu is a fine player and I would have taken him at Wakefield maybe back in 2012... He's a has bin who showed a bit of form in the early part of the season prior to breaking his leg. He won't be the same player he once was, just stealing a wage!

How odd as both centres scored twice and one won MOM - did Inu score? Because he certainly didn’t bother to defend.

Funny, because I walked past Inu as he was talking to a couple of Widnes fans at the end of the game and that was the first time I'd actually noticed him all afternoon.
