cant go to the screen for a forward pass now can we

Agree

And in fact, due to the momentum rule, wasn't even forward. Look where Phelps is when Ainscough takes the ball.

Got Coaches Man of Match, considering that was his first game after coming back from injury thought he played well.

Think some people lile to criticise just to be controversial.



Phelps had a great game last night - couple of significant errors yes but its his first game back in weeks and attacking-wise he was on fire.



Had Richards made those errors but attacked like Phelps people would have hailed him as MOM.



Phelps the utility back is working out just how the club need it to.

He had pretty decent game last night.



However Saints did not manage to test him defensively at all during the game, so it may be a tad early to say if he will be a safe bet at fullback.

To be fair that's how a full back's game should be... if your fullback is constantly being tested, the guys up font aren't earning their corn are they.

Cameron Phelps ....

Did alright, little rusty with some mistakes.



He's a jack of all trades, master of none. He does what it says on the tin.



Better option than Mathers and can play anywhere across the backline, that's how I justify his squad position.

Thought he did well bar a couple of errors, would definitely give him a game again on Monday while Richards is out.

Exactly. Some people cant see past their obsession to criticise and miss the value of a player like Phelps because of the mass love for Richards.

Exactly.



It was typified by the mass hysteria amongst the usual sheep-like posters on here yesterday afternoon when the news broke of Phelps' return.



He's played poor at centre this season, his positioning in defence really letting him down. This doesn't mean his defence in general is poor, which a lot assumed straight away.



All in all, bar a couple of errors, he added more in terms of attacking full back play than Richards does.
