Another thread for our only shinning light in a terrible season. Last night he stepped up another level imo. He ran with more aggression than most of our forwards and was consistently trying to break out of tackles and break up the defensive line rather than just submit to the tackle like so many others.

When was the last time we had a winger like this?

He has impressed me man. He and abbey have huge potential. When the morris boys go those 2 should be in the side.

He's fast becoming my favourite player even with our non existent attack he still stands out and isn't afraid of doing the hard work. For a team that struggles for points I have no idea why we can't bomb to his wing. I really want to see him in open space to see how he stacks up pace wise with NRL players in Cup he looked fast.

Only 2 players this year against all the odds that have improved, Montoya and Jackson and it had nothing to do with the Coach. This is the only positives to season 2017 for me other than when the season is actually over at RD 26.

I rate this kid highly. Reads a game very well for a winger. Just seems to know how to sum up situations in attack and defense like a spine player. Shame he's on the wing but we are desperate there.

Morris and Montoya were the only ones that really stood up last night and Morris is on his last legs. Good to see we have at least one good young player.

Mbye is improving at hooker though. Thought he was pretty good there last night.

It pleases me to see how safely he is defusing kicks

The only one in the backline I would keep. The rest need to be axed. Holland and Hoppa should not have been re signed

He's been very good this season and getting more confident as the season goes on.

Last night he almost set a try up out of nothing and if Hopoate wasn't so ordinary, we might have scored.

This is what happens when you promote youngsters and give them consistent game time. Montoya and RFM have been the only two positives this season.

Hopefully Hasler gets sacked soon so RFM can get more than 30 minutes per game.

He's definitely not in the top speed class of Roberts, Ado Carr, radradra, French etc. But his aggression and safety with the high ball still makes him my favourite back at the club.

His top speed isn't anything flash but he has good acceleration. He's basically a slower Vunivalu imo. They share similar traits and ability. I'm sure if Montoya was at the Storm he would be performing equally as good as Vunivalu and hyped up as much as him.

This is the 1st time IMO we've had a winger with the complete package. Only if he can kick goals.

They are both excess baggage and not needed.....

Lees ability to put Montoya away could be potentially a devastating attacking force
