Phew.Should be game over.
18-0 HT.
Much improved second 20, O'Neill's influence growing and very strong.
Don't need to do anything daft second half, Swinton have not offered much since the opening 10.
Decent enough half.
Look a lot more balanced with Lyons and Smith in the halves.
STOP THE PRESSES
Lawton just broke a tackle and ran 20 yards with ball in hand
That'll be on his wikipedia page by morning
We will score a few more points in the second half.
We’ve got far better players who, thank goodness, seem to have regained their confidence.
Think Tileke’s played well since he came on.
Not impressed with ref Smith mind... the pens and decisions in that first 15 (and Jacks double movement) were a bit bizarre for me...
Good to hear Pryce frustrated with Lawton too!
Not great but an improvement and a win on the board. Hopefully we kick on now, we all like a rant on here but no one enjoys watching us get beat every week.

fair play to the lad, he’s made several good runs. Lawton running from deep on an angle has made good years for us today!
I was going to post and say who I thought my MoM was, but I think it has to go to Finnegan!
He’s clearly done work on the mental approach to the game and I think it’s fair to say that we have played more minutes of competitive rugby in the game today than the last three out together! (Ok, nearly!)
all the players looked keen and able. Good to see ONeill and Edge have good games, Joe’s first game I think, and I don’t think we had seem Callum since his concussion? Could be wrong.
it’s an important win as it gives us confidence. Phew! Well done lads!
Granted Swinton were poor, but that’s a big improvement from us.
Look a lot more balanced with Lyons and Smith.
Robson, O’Neil and Lawton went well.
Something to build on...
Massive weight off our shoulders.Not getting carried away, poor side Swinton but still.
Good performance that. Obviously we have much tougher games ahead but that was a major improvement in many aspects. We certainly didn’t look like relegation contenders today.
Much better from us today, Lawton showed his potential, still has too many brain farts but if a decent coach could get into him and get his head straight he would be a monster at this level.
Most impressive aspect was defensively in the first 15 minutes, thats where the mental battle was won. Once we scored first then the game was effectively won. Rugby league is a tough game to play when it feels like your running against a brick wall.
