Fages / Richardson , imagine these 2 if left to play together , I think a 22 yr old and a 20 yr old and Thompson.

Fortunately for Percival he is our most dangerous attacker, as he was directly responsible for the 2 Hull tries. Forward pass or not, he was stood up by Griffin for the 1st and then made a right mess of the kick for the second. However, his support play for his first was excellent and his finish for his second was brilliant. But we are conceding way too many tries down our left.
I'd say a lot is because our players that side get fatigued - they get a lot of ball then without it a lot of pressure put on them because they are clearly our best attacking threats. Hasn't there been a few times fages has had to do over 30 tackles in a game? Mega amounts as a half

Closely followed by Walmsley, Thompson and Roby. Special mention for Percival whose magic moment largely contributed to the victory although his handling and passing were by no means error-free; similarly, while his defence was generally very good and helped to minimise the impact of Fonua, he also had an assist in both of Hull's tries.
I've only just watched my recording of the game back. I think I made a mistake in not including Percival in my list. Even though I looked at the big screen in the ground after his second try, it's only watching it over on TV that has made me realise how special it was and he also made big contributions throughout the game. However, it's good to be in a position where picking MOM is difficult. The variety of names in this thread speaks volumes about how many players had good games.
How the hell did Percival gather and ground that ball?

2. Fages - two key moments in the game
3. Percival - That try,watching live I could not tell how he got it over. Watched it back on TV just unreal, freakish try.
