Sorry, I was responding to someone asking about Jason Clark/e!

But Daryl was looking better than he has all season too. He’s not been 100% since the operation.

Hopefully the local Mods will be along to address this shortly ...

so... did he not grab his opportunity with both hands when he played then?

Mikaele looks decent.

I’d like to see

Thewlis
Ashton
Peanut
Wardle
Wrench
Williams
Dean

Just because he happened to not dissolve under a frankly needless and unheard of amount of public whining over one simple mistake doesn't mean that performance can be attributed to said coach. As even though he played well its not like his kicking game was out of this world, in fact we still sucked in that area generally today, just we actually happened to make metres and defend well enough to nullify the lack of finding the floor.

ok, so he was still poor and powell was right... got it.

I thought Ratchford did well today and was also a bit of a vocal influence. Would you have him in the 13, or bench, or not at all?

That back 7 looks like the future though, except for Mata’utia maybe who I’m sure will leave at the end of 2023.

Powell made a proper fuss of him at the end too

That won’t happen, Ratchford will be fullback next week and Dean has to start now. Would he drop Mata’utia for Wrench doubt it.

He wasn't poor enough to be dropped in the first place is the point =#FF0000SNIP

you're obvioulsy someone with a great knowledge of the game.

Have you tried phoning the club shop and offering up your services?

A lot of insults being thrown around between us all today?

Good job Powell isn’t in charge of selecting fans as well as players! Have a read of that legacy book and let’s all try to be a team unit, eh…

Why can we call players and coaches every filter bypassable name under the sun after every game but not each other haha?

for the record... i dont mind being called a pleb.

my wife calls me much worse.

Doh.

Leftygoldblatt (however you spell it) called me 'Tosh' earlier on in the week. We could have an insult scale where my 'Tosh' is probably a 2/10 and Wolfhall's 'Bellend' is probably 8/10.

anyway.... i thought we played superbly.

For the first time this season, our forwards looked like they caused problems for the oposition.

Mikaele is a real player in the making... great debut from Nicholson.... Jake Wardle gave us something we have been missing.... even the much maligned Holmes played well.

maybe all these new players arent totally rubbish after all.

Swallows. Summer.

But it was great to watch even though I wasn't convinced we'd win until the final try was scored.

Some definite cause for optimism. I couldn't watch the game myself but listened to it on the radio and spoke to a few who watched it.

They said that even Currie played well and Holmes was effective upon arrival.

Nicholson had a great debut but Williams was probably MOM.

The major thing being mentioned was that our forwards were more effective creating space for our creative players - It's so true the saying 'packs win games'.

There's still a long way to go, but hopefully this result and performance will instill some confidence in the side and provide a snippet of what to expect in the future for us fans.

Also, the threat of relegation has reduced with a 6 point cushion, effectively 8 with our points difference, unless we draw.

My thoughts on the match are thus

Harrison is a good addition, i personally think he could easily handle a couple more stone on that big frame to become a real unit.

Thewlis, Ashton, Wardle - lightening, not only lightening but generally "oh oh" moments when they get the ball. Ashton's training all week will be running at full tilt and passing a ball (though i do think Currie stole a good pass for Williams and fluffed it)

Of the guys I've been unimpressed with in recent week, Currie looked like Ben Currie who we used to know, Holmes seemed to be effective in spells. Williams bossed it

Catalans played how we've been playing recently.

I'm not excited, I'm relieved but I'm also genuinely happy that the playing group get to smile and wave at fans, cheered off and enjoy a jubilant coach journey back tonight (i assume).

As a group they've been through some this year, some would've lost good mates, some will probably not know everyone's name yet they're that new, but no form of team building will top going on a coach trip with your teammates, winning and enjoying that journey back.

Also, man crush on Mikaele is intensifying by the match, that offload is going to hurt some teams over the next couple of years.

It looks dazzling rolled in the Glitter



Anyone got any pegs tho



The Cats were sitting Ducks in that heat and 8 first picks out

Kudos to Widdop, dislocates his shoulder then goes ahead to score a try - I would imagine a lot of players would've just dropped the ball.

Loving Harrison and Mikaele, they look really good.

Well done Wire, now let's see more of the same in the coming weeks please.

Didn’t she collaborate with Linda Lovelace sometimes?

Williams was the Williams we paid all that money for keep it going for rest of season also praise to the young guns...never win owt with kids tho..wonder who said that
