I thought we played decent in the first half but couldn’t find our way over the line 

Billington and Houghton much better interchange than previous seasons

We achieved that today.

 

Nothing more to say, really. Well done to all that travelled to Robin Park, it had a Sheffield/Hunslet feel about it.

edge was none existent in the first half, but in the second he was everywhere

last try from Jack was superb

Well done to AC and the players.

The pack was outstanding, despite having only two forwards on the bench. That said, having Joe Edge is like having a seventh forward on the field. Wonder what Coleman will say to explain the contrasting halves.

What was the difference? Was it attitude, was it because we moved the ball better or was it because we rejigged our set up with Owens to full back or was it because they tired? Probably a bit of all that combined? A very good performance without Lawton, Chapelhow & Mc Whirter. Wilde rolled back the years with a terriffic running performance. Houghton & Billington especially showed they deserve places in the 17 every week.
