Well I must admit, I was vocal around our backwards step this year, however after watching last night I’m full of optimism and suprise, hodgson was MOM and really impressive and sharp. Badrock had a huge 2nd half, we look full of pace all over ground which is a pleasant change! Armstrong looks so classy! Ethan Oneil looks gangly and weak, he hits hard and punches lines ball in hand, lui just took over the Asiata roll and we didn’t miss a beat, for some reason trout has come under fire, I thought he was good all last year and he had a huge first 30 mins last night, it’s a friendly yes, but Warrington had already played and kept first team out there a lot longer than us! Stick a top class 6 in there and we will be right up there pushing everyone!!

Watched it on Leopards TV today nd found it a very reassuring performance after all the player turnover.
