Didn't get to see the game yet but it sounds like Lemmey and Lord stood out. Young's stats look OK - Ipresume he played back given the intercepts? - and Mirkov got plenty of taps. I take it Marchy didn't come back on? Wilson and Binns just okay by the numbers, but Wilson only coming back and Binns probably still tired from last week's numbers. Can't dominate every week. Like both of them but do wonder how Binns hurts sides at the higher level. Will never know if he doesn't get a shot.
On Lord it seems to me he has a defensive edge and whilst certainly not quick isn't slow and those traits might well help our problem with being destroyed out of the middle if we don't win it clearly.
Can't see anyone pushing hard for inclusion next week, but Lord, Carroll, Young if we lose a tall, Binns if we decide to rest Ollie and even Wilson if we want to add outside pace could be around the mark. And obviously Cowan could go back into the ones fresh from a rest assuming there isn't a late change.
On Martin I think the only thing that saves him is a big finish to the year. When fit he has quality you don't just give away, but with the salary cap squeeze, his injury history and the fact that there may be some trade value to go West I think unless he shows his wares to best advantage - as he did late last year - you would think him gone. Carroll I suspect in the same boat. McMahon and and Will White I both think worth a look at as rookies. both very light but can play.
