Initially a major error by Chris Feather but ultimately stitched up by the video ref at Wigan.

Oh I remember that vaguely. Didn’t Solomona get pinged for a knock on that never was (clear on replay) with the game in the balance. Can’t fully remember but was highly controversial.

Solomona was sin binned for a flop that never was if I remember.

I have it in my head that we had a try disallowed by the video ref for the knock on? They classed it as a forward pass even though they cant check for that.

I.could be way off.

I liked Semi but he lacked class, had a relatively poor strike rate and yes he was error prone.

He was more like an extra forward and he did tire and intimidate the opposition. As a battering ram and yardage maker he was the best but as a winger he promised more than he delivered imho.

Semi was just the right person for that team. Not so much a great winger but plugged gaps we needed.
Of course if TJ had been outside Domic he'd have scored at will but Semi was strong at the kick return and got us valuable yards down field that set the plays up for the more skilled players.
He was shaky under high ball at first but he worked hard to improve that.

We did a move with him I always liked where he would take a tap penalty and sprint across field to pick up a straight runner who would go under the posts. Worked when they got the timing right.

I know we've drifted from the original post but I don't think there is much else to say on Hurrell.
I'll keep it open unless it offends anyone to do so?

It was a pass to jeffries that was knocked towards his own line by SOL. Jeffries picked it up and ran it in from 50 yards. Video ref chalked it off for some vague reason. Never a knock on or forward pass. Basically the officials cheated

Injured and played his last game potentially at Leeds as on marquee contract. Could Trinity throw their hat in the ring now Langi has backed out?

Haha. You got to be kidding. Hurrell has not played his final match for Leeds even on a marquee contract.

Memory could be playing tricks, but didn't we get the ball back from that?

Semi was probably one of the early “current style” wingers.

Big athletic and an extra forward lacking that bit of classic finesse.

Lovely bloke, never met a more laid back bloke.

Gone on to live a very fulfilling life after rugby following his strong religious beliefs.

Ryan Atkins basically owes his career to Solomona.

Domic was a very good centre regardless of who was his secondrow but if helped playing outside Sol.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better more devastating player combination than Sol and Domic
Not just at Wakey but in sl

Opposition didn’t know what to do
Domic hit the ball with such pace n power
And Sols timing was world class, if he didn’t offload to domic then some else would get it but all the defence had already committed


Shame it was so short and sweet
