Magennis looked at Home today playing for Saints... very good strong runner and took his try very well...



Dean, I don't like getting at players but I just don't see what he's giving over the likes of Armstrong Foster or even Meli or Lomax playing Centre to make room for Gardner on a wing?



Wellens

Gardner

Gidley

Meli

Lomax



?

Magennis looked pretty solid and he worked hard at loose. Dean , well I think he's destined for Widnes ..... simply doesnt offer enough

Its noticable that most of Quins trys came down Saints left were Dean was defending. I think he gets caught out for pace. He isnt slow Dean as his try showed. However i do think he is slow off the mark, and i think thats were he gets caught out, when playing at centre.



Mcgennis was solid, but its worrying that at 20 years old he has both knees heavily strapped up.

says on one of the rl sites that gardner was dropped along with fozzard....

They were both playing in the Reserves prior to the game.



TBH Lomax fully deserves to be ahead of Gardner



Dean was caught out of position may times which left Meli covering both Centre and Winger resulting in breaks

I would imagine it will shorten his career in the long term. He looked pretty decent today and hopefully now he is fully fit he will build on the massive potential he's shown in the lower teams

what was the score ????

totally agree and I think the fact he is a decent kicker is also helping him. He returns the ball better than gardner but still needs to work on his finishing a bit. Good to see players being picked on form rather than reputation

He does but I think had Eastmond been on the pitch then Gardner would have played. We needed a kicker.



Did anyone else notice that Lomax was limping during almost all of the match?

When a bomb is heading over to the wing the normal heart in mouth with Gardner isn't there with Jonny... he's shorter than Ade but has an awesome jump on him and is as safe as houses, then after landing more often than not makes several yards forward

Magennis was good and showed alot of promise, as for Lomax I'd be worried if I was Gardner, out of form and out of contract with a much younger, possibly faster lad in his place who hasn't dropped a high bomb in 2 full games and looks very good in attack and excellent in defence and can kick a goal too

Impressed with Magennis - although I was concerned that he was brought off only 15 mins or so into the match. Its no good playing loose forward if you can't manage lengthy stints on the pitch.



As for Chris Dean - I agree with the common consensus. He doesn't add anything to the team and I don't think he has a future wearing the red vee.
