Cannot watch today, missed the lineup but think edge is fb,Brooks on wing, Fleming centre with roberts and Dixon on other wing Tom and Joe hb

listening just now it’s like basketball - you score, we score

we need to tighten the defence in the second half and stop their fb running riot - is he Widnes bound according to rumours

This is one frustrating game. Need to take control and kick on.

What a strange game.

Worst collection of tries I’ve ever seen.

Good results for us this week play off wise. Now ahead of London and only 1 point off Fax in 6th. Next Saturday we have Newcastle away and on Sunday evening Fax are at home to Featherstone so we could be back in the top 6.

On a side note have you seen the Wakefield vs Warrington scoreline!? And Warrington had a full strength side out as well.

A game of two poor defensive displays. We made the difference in scoring twice in a row and that was the difference.

A well deserved MoM for Brookes, though had Forber come on earlier he might have pipped him to it. Two points is two points!

Full time the same as HT, very very frustrating. Could not kick on and even with four minutes to go and twelve points up you could not relax. As V25 said, strange game indeed. 😀😀 Thought Brooke’s deserved motm but Edge also had a top game alongside Grady and Davies

May be in the top 6 after next Sunday but with harder games to come against fax, Sheffield, Fev and broncos (didn’t think I’d say that about London!) I think we will start to falter and drop again.

 

todays performance doesn’t give me great confidence in making the 6

Yeah I don't feel we will get the top 6 as defence need to be much better. On a positive at least we are scoring again and shows were we need to improve. 

Whitehaven will be fighting to stay up.

I think Whitehaven are not as bad as their Prague position, reckon they will stay up and win a few more games 

my favourites to go down are Newcastle and Keighley 

thoughts ?

Probably go with that or possibly Swinton. Barrow are starting to play better now so for me Newcastle, Keighley or Swinton.

We were undisciplined & made far too many errors today. I thought both our half backs were poor. Our line defence was awful. Still we managed a win against a side that made few errors & played well. There is still an alarming lack of ideas in attack though. Edge for mecwas MOM with Forber a close second then Grady.

On a more positive note their fullback, Josh Rourke looked well worth an offer at least. Others will no doubt come fishing for Edge and we need to be ahead of the game.

We were good with the ball in our hands, but our defence let us down, missing to many tackles and giving them soft tries. Also thought Gilmore kicking near the line was poor, one of which led to a breakaway try for them.
