I think these ratings are a bit over the top. It was certainly a very good performance, but Hudds. were poor on the day. Thewlis, much as I love him, made a couple of bad errors. You can't afford to kick the ball dead, particularly in a final against Wigan. He worked really hard, but Ashton was by far the biggest threat of our two wingers. Although credit goes to Thewlis for breaking a pad of beetroot juice on his head to try and get a penalty for us (LOL)).
Drinkwater's kicking was just ok, but his defence is a concern for me. I wanted him gone in the early season but I would have to admit that he seems to have upped his game considerably since then.
I would really like to have Wrench in the centre spot but Tai's defence and ability to take the ball up, considerably out weigh the elusiveness of Wrench in attack. King in the other centre is a shoe in simply because of defence, ability to take the ball upfield and his astute reading of the game when a break is on. Agreed he doesn't make many breaks but he has developed into a really clever player.
Top marks to Williams and Duffy. They can expect to get targeted by Wigan in the final though.
