I am going for Blythe based on the fact that he seems to be improving all aspects of his game on a week by week basis. He is also utterly fearless in attack and defence.

Blythe was my vote, but how could you pick one really?



Paul Youane and JWP's comments on Myler are bang on.

There are some games where to pick a man of the match is wrong ! This game being one of them IMO the TEAM were awesome and to pick an individual out of the 17 is wrong I would give it too them all as they were MEN OF THE MATCH TOGETHER ! same as at Wembley last yr IMO !

Could have gone to any number of players..But i've chosen Carvell fantastic first stint from the big guy...

Solomona easily had his best game of the season last night too, maybe his best in the PnB.

I went for Myler, thought he was great in defence and finally showed himself as an extra dimension to the attack, something he has rarely showed yet. He was tackling well above his weight. His try sealed it, and he showed a lot of pace! I remember him having a good game against Wigan at the Dodging Wembley stadium last year, and he showed his class again this year.

Anyone else think Smith sent Wood and Solomona out on the pitch with a strict 'no offloading' rule?

Thankfully yes, the last thing we needed was the ball being thrown around everywherem we just needed Sol and Woody to run it in strongly.

Without a doubt Mark. Whole team was obviously under instructions not to look for the off-loads. Win the ground and get quick play the balls was the order of the day and if you don't do what Smith says you don't play next week.

couldnt agree more.... Myler has been brilliant with ball and without... he has really upped his game. The speed and accuracy of his pass is fantastic.

Did anyone else notice our tactic of turning the player back towards their own line as opposed to on there back?

Yep. Higham did this absolutely loads.
