agree with most of above but leave robbo out though dont need 2 hookers takin up bench space play leeming longer mins better all round player robbo although been good is past his sell by date doesnt bring anything to the side except basketball and hospital passes has lost all the scouting from dummy half

The game at SL level is a lot faster than u19s asking leeming to do 80 against a team like Warrington with their great line speed would be asking for trouble.

I agree, Play him every week but not the full match, as he get's stronger and up to speed he will be able to do more time.

For me if Grix is to play ,it must be at fullback, It is and always has been his best position, I'm not saying he has to play, but I wouldn't consider him anywhere else. He is not a disaster by any means, he is like Robbo, been a decent player in his day without being a world beater, We need better but till we get them you have to do the best you can with what you have

Good bounce back from last week sounds a cracking performance! game management sounds a lot better, not sure what the brawl was about but seems it fired danny up!

well done lads!

Superb game
Everyone played well

These young guns are a bit good
Simpson, Fairbank and Leeming all look the business

Mom for me was Hughes though, superb

Connor, might be having an enforced rest next week

I would rest jared next week - he needs to be kept fresh- and hungry!!! Also with it being on the ipitch Grix has more experience of playing on that surface. Then put him in for kr and saints.

Although having said that he would get s week off the following week anyway

Had it is a toss up between Hughes and Jerry today for MOM, they combined well, though having said that from 1 to 17 today all contributed ,well pleased for Jared again and was delighted to see Bobby Fairbank showing what he can do.

Passion, commitment, togetherness and desire. If we play with that every week I wouldn't care what the result was. We battled today against a more or less full strength Wire and a less than favourable ref. How England wasn't given a more severe punishment than Brough for spitting at him was beyond me.

Clark and Connor at each other most of the second half. Refs had no control. Never seen Eorl have a scrap... anyone know what happened?

Ahh wondered what happened with brough and England- I thought brough was annoyed cause he wouldn't move so he could take the kick.
Woman in front of me said that bridge pulled eorls hair- Eorl pushed him away and bridge threw a flurry of punches.

Brough should never have been binned

Shocking call that

Tbh the spit was more at the end when the lino was in between them. Not really sure what happened before that with it being such a free for all!

Careful rl5 nobody likes losing no matter how well or how bad they playExcellent game and win though.

Brough was waiting to take the kick with England keeping on coming

England should have been red carded

Enjoyed that game! cracker it was

showed some real resolve to come back twice when the game looked like it had got away from us, one thing you cant say about this team is that they lack effort, work so hard for each other.

hard to pick a MOM

Ellis
Mcgillvary
Simpson
Fairbank
Hughes
Brough

take your pick!!

Such a big game to win to keep hold of that 4th place..

was a fesity one too , allsorts going on! anyone else see England spit at brough??

dont know what was going on with bridge and crabtree before that, too busy watching broughton touch down after great kick from brough and build up play from simpson

I thought we lacked something in the first half though. Plenty of chances again we didn't turn into points. We were camped on the wire line a few times but just looked pedestrian- not one player ran a line- (apart from wardle in that first set but he dropped it then didn't get the ball again) we just ran straight up to the defence -then we kicked on the third tackle!!!!
Put it right in the second half we didn't let the conditions phase is and were more creative - wire weren't sure where the ball was going or coming from.

Great effort today we looked like we wanted it more and never felt we were out of it. Much better line speed than I have seen this year and Wire momentum restricted as a result. Brough was ace as usual with awesome 40/20 kick and others to keep them penned in their own half.

What a prospect Jared is, Bobby played well too and Kruise seems to have now cemented himself in the 17. Always great to see the local lads do well and them 3 should be first choice after those performances.

what pleased me today the most, apart from the performance of the fringe/young players was that our game management which was poor in the first half was excellent in the 2nd, we didn't try and force things, even at 12-19, we just kept rolling forward and turning them round..... we also bullied them i thought, we wound them up and they snapped, and the last 10 they were more interested in the niggle!

thought bentham was abysmal, but not sure what or who caused all the brawls but he seemed to lose control a bit.

one thing i am disappointed with though is the dissent and back chat, twice we were pinged for it today and brough, wardle, connor and others were all remonstrating about various decisions!

I said at the time it seemed like Brough was just a victim of the Ref thinking he had to send one off from each side and he was the nearest !!

Good to see us showing a bit of fight for once too.

I think Danny was sin binned for gobbing off. Problem is we're dammed if we do question the ref like today but then if you don't then some refs will favour the opposition who are chirping in their ear. Today we got pinged a few times for back chat and I think it meant Bentham then favoured wire, but other games I've seen it work the other way.

All we want is a decent referee!

I'd agree with that, we didn't have a real cutting edge in the first half.

After critiscising the in-game management last week I thought we were much better today. The drop goals were the right score at the right time. No panic or attempt to get another try just push the scoreboard folrward and force Wire into panicking.

We seem to get more than our fair share of games with Bentham and Child refereeing and I wonder if the RL think they need to pair a strong referee with our games to stand up to Brough and as a result they are looking to clamp down on him asp.


it is also worrying that Danny has gone off on one in the last three games and in the next few minutes after it happened Catalans and Wigan scored back to back tries and Wire scored quickly after he was sin binned today. We have to stop feeling sorry for ourselves when things go against us and to be fair today we did just that but I wonder if when Robbo appealed for a knock on in the 2nd half and Bentham went to ask his touch judge whether there would have been the same result if Brough had been the one doing the asking or would it have ended up in a penalty against us for dissent.

Thought Robinson was much better today. His running from dummy half gave us the attacking momentum to win the game.

Robbo had his best game for a while, back to his scooting self.

Thats 2nd drop goal from Ellis was a beauty!!!

now where was he for the challenge cup v saints



Bentham having to give us 2 drop goals
