Good to see Sutty in decent form.

You can see its hard work but the effort from both teams deserves praise.

Handley looks tremendous.

Like watching a reserve game, but at least we are still in with a chance this time

Some tired bodies on both sides to be fair. Cant knock any of them for effort.

little from the half backs

Why dont we kick to Walters near line on the last instead of grubbering it?

Think lui McLelland is a poor partnership, no commanding half there, doesn’t help at all

One of them is on the bench to be fair

McLelland nowhere near a SL player.

Get in our own 10, lose the ball. Story of the game

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Mclelland has shown nothing to suggest he’s going to be good enough for us in the long term. There’s time yet for him and Long may help on that front but he needs to start showing more regardless of the strength of the side. Good players always stand out. Today should have been one of this days.

I believe that long has been brought in just for McLelland, the club probably see him as the future for us

Sounds desperate and scrappy, credit to them if they come away with this. Some poor game management giving a penalty for obstruction when they should be seeing the game out.

Hard fought in every sense of the word! Glad we got there in the end though

Going to be interesting now after this week, whether we go to Catalans in a play off eliminator or carry on with this fixtures ahead, it’s going to be tough.

Huge decisions to who is in the halves with Lui being sidelined with HIA failed.

Good to get the win, 2 out of 4 after the CC isn’t actually a bad return to be fair.

Happy to get the win, well done lads

That was almost cruel to watch in 2nd half. Both teams absolutely knackered.

Im hoping Cas game is off to give us a few days rest.

Cant knock or criticise anyone. The effort was there for all to see but what players are being asked to do isnt fair when other teams arent doing it.

A win and im proud of the team for having a real dig there.

In McLelland's defence he has played most of his games as the only recognised half back in weakened teams. Even today he lost Lui in the 1st half. That said he hasn't shown much as yet. His lack of support play was also noticable today, when Handley collected the loose ball for Sutcliffes try McLelland was the nearest to him but nowhere to be seen when he handed it on to Sutty. A couple of other breaks were crying out for a halfback in support. Maybe we have been spoilt by having Burrow and McGuire, one of whom would have been there to finish off the break.

I’m not just singling McLelland out, and I’m not one for bagging young players, just think he’s light years away from a SL 7 compared with some of the other young halves knocking about.

Pleased for the lads today though, big win that in hard circumstances.

Walters not finished by a long shot, but big effort from him.

Credit to both teams there. Feel sorry for the players. A welcome win for us.

He is no better than Lilley in my opinion , i am not sure what his strong points are suposed to be .

Mclellend needs games alongside Gale in our best 17 before writing him off. He's playing as a lone HB in a scratch Team playing 4 games in 10 days after CC Final.

Totally get that , but can you tell me what his strong points are , he seems slow , has a poor kicking game and does not seem a natural organiser

His kicking game is good, and he is the best defensive half back we have. Two good points there.

We need more pace - Mclelland will not give you that - if anything he is slower than Lui
