Just like to mention Ryan Morgan I think he's been excellent since he's come back in. Hope he stays on next season.
He gets less than half the ball Percy does but is scoring and making significant plays.

He looks a lot tougher and stronger, could have scored another instead of passing behind Makinson.
He was the same last year - ineffective on the wet surfaces but when it starts to dry up he shows his quality. Whilst he's no Percival he creates doubt in the minds of defenders when he gets the ball in space. He reminds me of Meli with his running style - he's all ankles and feet but is doing a good job for us again this year. Very underrated player.
When he plays well he plays well but he doesn’t do it enough for me
Thought he was very good tonight, defensively in particular he's been on it for a good few weeks now. He saved a couple of tries tonight where Leeds had overlaps but his positioning closed them down and gave the inside defenders a chance to cover across. Good step, good hand-off, scored an important try as well again.
Both Morgan and Percival had big games.

Only a cynic would suggest that his firm has improved since Naiqama signed for next year. Whatever the reason, he is playing well. But so is every other player right now, Holbrook has done a fantastic job of getting the best out of all the players.
Ryan Morgan is playing very well to be fair. Big improvement on last season.
screaming in the family corner, scaring the kiddies
Morgan is having a good run of form. He never seems spectacular (which Naiqama seems to be) but is a solid professional, which is sometimes what's needed. He seems a quiet kind of bloke who gets on with his job without fuss and does it well.
No idea if he's staying next season or not - but what we have learned this season is he's willing to bide his time to get back into the team. He was out for a number of games but once he came back he took his chance well. If we did have Percy, Morgan and Naiqama all in competition for the centre spots - that would be quite something. Seems also Naiqama is willing to be a good team player and play where picked - as he has for club and country.
I would be happy to see Morgan here again next season and if he is to leave early - we have great quality there with the addition of Naiqama. Anyone know when Percy is contracted until?
It helps that the ball is going right side a lot more than it used to under Cunningham. It was always unfair to judge him and Tommy/Owens etc when they were feeding off scraps.

Haven't had decent service to the right side since we had Gidley. Shenton could have done so much better for us with some ball to play with. A balanced attack this season has been the key to our success. It stretches the defence creating the gaps for the likes of Barba, Roby and Richardson to exploit, also prevents teams overloading against our left hand side to shut down Percival.
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
