The good thing is now that Corey has had a taste of SL he should now be tearing the house down in pre-season to get another go and all the other young lads should see they can have a piece of it too and it should push them on to have a big off season too.

That's why it's important to keep bringing them through gradually.

Sinfield's decision to bring in Lui and Rhyse Martin at a critical time of the year was a gamble but one to looks to have worked. They have both improved the team. We was desperate for half back and I know we did everything to bring Hastings to Headingley but Lui has been a steadying influence on the team and Martin has added mobility to the pack and looks a fantastic kicker too.

Lots of work to do and the transition will continue. Good to end on a win tho.

Agree with plenty of others, the commitment was great and desire to defend our line.
Great way for JJB and Ablett to be sent on their way.
Also agree we need to give Johnson and a few others some time. Newman, oledZki and smith are all still inconsistent and not there yet. I think walker already is.
Man for man wire are a fair bit better than us and next year with widdop in for Matty smith that will be the same.

Remember 2014 & 2015,post challenge cup win hangovers are common. Interesting to see if they can bring it back in the play-offs. They will need to be a ton better than last night though.

Best bit for me was they did it all without Merrin and Ava and Ferres

Heard agar saying Johnson has only started training full time after finishing studies , so a big pre-season for him, Muizz and possibly Dupree should see them getting more chances/ on loan in championship chances next year. That will also put guys like Cameron Smith under pressure to improve or Muizz will go past him imo.

They all played well last night, the team was top draw, the best home game this season for me. Sat behind their coach, I thought their coach was level headed, not a chance, how wrong was I, what a nasty temper he has. The defence when Ward was on was awesome and it’s a shame when he went off injured they scored on the side where he was defending, Ward was gutted when he had to go off, he was sat in the dug out, he looked distraught, does anyone know what injury he has. It did not look good, but fingers crossed it won’t be serious.
GH did let out that Agar is going to Australia today, he followed this up by saying expect some movement of players in the coming weeks . Interesting, since the Gale deal has quietened down, maybe they cannot agree terms with him

Not sure you can call it a hangover, they've been awful for 3 or 4 months now.

Their cup winning hangover started 6 weeks before the final!!!

Blake Austin and Daryl Clark are the main men in that team and Stevie Ward wrapped Austin up all night. I wish we had Daryl Clark I think hes a super player.

I think it’s underestimated how much we have missed Ward he’s a fabulous player. On the injury Agar said it was a dead leg so nothing to worry about.

He has a full off season to get fully fit .I just want the lad to get a decent run
