Yeah he is starting to show a bit more to his game this year that's for sure. But he is very rocks & diamonds is Matt Dufty, so might have a stinker next week.

Lewis was fantastic again for you guys again, gutted he didn't work his way into the Black & White. The only thing he is missing is a 7 next to him to leave him to do what he does best. A Sneyd next to Lewis would be such a well balanced halves pairing. On that form, would love Lewis to line up against the Aussies and torment them

When you speak of rocks and diamonds you could easily be talking about Mikey aswell, mostly diamonds last night but definitely more rocks last week against Salford, hopefully he'll find that consistency as he gets older.

Jon Wilkin just compared Tyrone May to Jason Smith.

To cut Wilkin a little slack, that kind of comment is typical of today's sports commentary/reporting/punditry. In the modern world everything and everybody is the greatest thing since sliced bread, well at least since last week's greatest thing ever to happen.
I remember Jon Wells once comparing Regan Grace to Martin Offiah which, as anyone who saw Offiah at his peak will testify, is a fatuous comment.
Phil Clarke was always a good one for these over-hyped comments, whoever won that particular week were on their way to the Grand Final in his eyes!

It's not just in our sport either, it's the same elsewhere. The relentless hyping of the Premier League means that as soon as someone like Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) scores in three successive games, he's instantly linked to being the new Messi/Maradona/Pele/Whoever! The same in tennis/golf/name-your-sport.

It's indicative of the instantaneous world we live in today, where the only thing that matters is the here and now, and five minutes ago was another era. To a degree we, as supporters, buy into this instant idolatry and feed comments like Wilkin's last night. I doubt, in the cold light of day, that he truly believes Tyrone May is the equal of Jason Smith, but if it sells, it must be true, is the modern creed.

Either way, Wilkin's comments were by no means the funniest aspect of last night's entertainment

Going for Leigh and Leeds game. Will be interesting to see how Leigh go after they've picked up a few injuries, plus we've got them next week

Yes, very poor.

Leigh a bit unlucky with that disallowed try too.

envious of Leighs halfback pairing, probably one of the best in the league
