I quite like the look of Ed Chamberlain at centre for Leigh and I think he’s out of contract. Certainly looks like a pretty good centre and at 28 could be a good pick up.
Hall has had a good game for Cas tonight too.
When I watch the Giants, Esan Marsters always catches my eye. He seems to have been about the most consistent Hudds player this year IMO.
Chamberlain did okay but just looking, he hasn't half clocked up a serious amount of clubs so far in his career, not that's a bad thing, he probably just needs to find a decent club to settle at.
I think a few players are playing at Clubs that are just not working for them at the moment, either because the teams are poor or inconsistent, or the Coach isn't getting the most out of them and they're shot of confidence. There seems to be quite a few players around SL that are not playing to the standard we've seen from them in previous years and are generally in a bit of a rut in average to poor teams.
Russell for example seemed to work hard and did everything he could to get Hudds playing well, but they seem to lack the speed and a cutting edge to make the most of his passes and kicks.
Similarly at Hull, Scott just doesn't get a look in, he's part of a team that's completely lost its way and he's no doubt struggling with confidence because I would be playing for them. Hull just doesn't look like they practise together and haven't a clue in attack or defence for that matter. I thought it was notable when Houghton went off, they had that decent spell at the end. The kid who replaced him just quickened their game up, which in turn lifted the team and they started to play with more freedom.
Also as others have mentioned, Corey had probably his best game in ages but Hull gave him space to work, but you can only play what's in front of you and he looked more up for it and involved and played with a smile on his face that I haven't seen from him for a while.
