Time for action all the usual pre season bull talk ends today. We have heard it all before for last 7-8 years, let’s see if it’s for real this season. . Whilst I don’t think the first game of the season defines the season. I really think this one might, we need to win and set a statement out. Wakey are better prepared than any promoted side for some time, but we still should be 2-3 scores better than them. 28-12 win

Frawley was by no means the worst offender. Ackers also in a key position and absolutely dire; ditto Connor. Croft showed some glimpses but no consistency, as ever.

Absolutely braindead in attack ackers and fraudley should be binned off if Arthur sticks to his talk of responsibility and performance. ECW needs to get over his jetlag quickly cos Handley will be targeted all season based on that effort. Connor to 7 when miller gets back

Handley back to the wing, SOS to the Momster. He was never that bad defensively.

I understand people hate Frawley but he was our second best spine player after Croft today. Not that this is saying much on the performance we've just been subjected to.

Gannon's showing was a positive. He seemed like one of the few forwards capable of breaking the line.
