I agree.

He also has an excellent offload game but, the support is not getting there often enough.

Hirst plays very upright and if he gets his arm free, the offload seems "on" most of the time.

I would like to see us offer Keegan a longer deal that the one year option some have mentioned on other threads. I feel that if his immediate future was assured (lets say 2 years) it would take some pressure off him and allow to him to play to his full potential. He is undoubtedly improving as the season progresses. Well done that man.

I thought Keegan was MOM away at Salford as well, his work rate, especially in defence was second to none , like what has been mentioned earlier he's really kicking on in SL this season

Unfortunately that young Leeds fullback got the better of Tupou a few times.

All our props are different in style so it's hard to rate but he in my opinion is prop number 3 in value behind Huby and Fifita.

He has already jumped passed Walker Allgood and England and I like them all too.

New Walker hasn't had chance to prove his case yet of course.

Keegan is doing a great job for the team, strong, safe carries. Usually takes a few to bring him down. Certainly worth extending his contract.

Keegan partnered Alex Walmsley at Batley in 2011 , we know a good player when we see one

Can you find us a world class hooker too then please?

Noticed how often he looked for the offload last Saturday. Sometimes there was no backing up there though.

Maybe a bit early to say but Hirst is better than Walmsley IMO. For starters Walmsley can often be lazy and go missing.

Certainly a bit early to say that. Walmsley is streets ahead at the moment

I must be watching different Hirst , don't get me wrong he's developing in a positive manner, but hes not done big game time or started on a regular basis where propping is always tuffer with forwards trying to dominate early on, and to compare him to Alex at saints, he's nowhere near, let's just let him tick along nicely, yes he's doing well, and he deserves a new contract but until he's done longer stints I'm not comparing him to the likes of Huby, fifita, England. Who IMO are still our top 3.
