We looked better than the Haven game. I know Hulme was motm, but thought Wilde was good throughout.
Draw is Tuesday?
tomorrow i think
I'm finding it hard to decide where we're at. We're staying patient and winning games relatively comfortably on paper. But Swinton gave it a real dig, as did Whitehaven the week before.
I worry whether we've got the composure to stay patient in a game against a better team - I think there are times we lack urgency and intensity. I'd say we've been second best in the first half in both the last two weeks.
I'd sign both Bennion and Hatton in a heart beat. Hatton's not a particularly big guy, but puts in a real shift.
I thought Baker was probably our MOM.
No complaints, you were the better side, but I reckon your four pointer right at the end, gave the scoreline an unreal look.
We scored the try of the game with our last touchdown.
James mentions Hatton and Bennion, and both of these guys put in huge shifts every game they play.
Good luck in the draw tomorrow, but when will the games be played? I'll be very surprised if the powers-that-be don't pull the plug tomorrow, to put the season on hold.

One positive is that we seem to be strong at the end of games, running up scores , compare that to last season where we just fell away game after game after game
Bennion has been very good everytime I've watched him...one for next season perhaps?
Pleasing that we have come through difficult moments in the last two weeks, but if we were playing Featherstone or Leigh, can't help but feel they would capitalise better against us.
Enjoyed the game today ,but can't keep needing half a game to get started we are the home team yet seem to take to long to get up to speed.We still have the obvious problem of our forwards been bullied in every game this season which I hope will be remedied before to long

And we still scored 40 and 32 points.
Think we're doing ok at the minute.
Haven't really had a settled side all year, new coach, new squad etc.
Think Matty Smith's influence will be crucial going forward. Hopefully manages the game for us.
Gotta say it was great to see a decent surface today!
Not everybody likes plastic pitches, but they certainly have their advantages!

I Really Enjoyed The Game Today As Well. For The Second Week Running We Had To Work Really Hard For The Win , Which Will Help In The Long Run . Baker Is A Really Good Signing By Us , Need To Make Better Use Of Him . Lewis Hulme Had A Great Game As Did Calum Wood When He Came On . Still Light In The Forwards Need A Couple of Enforcers Upfront
