In my first post I congratulated the team on winning, I may be wrong about the error count. Your posts all seem to be about picking apart other people's posts, so what's your agenda on here??

Definitely, can only remember them getting through once on the left when they knocked on. Even their try had to be an outrageous piece of skill to score. Ashurst and Pitts were like heat seeking missiles in the 2nd row.

| Excellent all round performance especially the defence , which was magnificent.
A real team performance and all the players need to be congratulated on it.
Pitts and Westerman look very shrewd signings to me.

And that one was only because Joe was injured and couldn’t get to Manu, I think that’s who it was. Another credit to the defence was how they stopped Murdoch chicken Masala for the full 80 even making him come up with errors, not many teams will do that this season.

If Ratchford had have done the same about 5/10 minutes later, he'd have had another, similar try. Their man, when tackled, looked for the offload but Ratchford hadn't backed him up like before.

How can ANYONE explain that turnaround and against such quality opposition.
If our coaching staff know what happened and why, we should be a shoe in for the GF and Challenge Cup.
Our defence was unrecognisable from the game in Hull but, our offence is still a worry.
However, if we can keep our opposition to just one try every week, we wont lose too many games.
Attitude is your answer but, quite how it can e so different in the space of two weeks and just one game is inexplicable.
I'm happy to admit that I thought we'd get comfortably beaten, which makes the win even better.
Let's see how we go against Cas next week, before we get carried away - superb win though

More or less correct.
The explanation is simple. There has to be a winner and a loser in every game. Two weeks ago we weren’t up to it this week we were.
The time to start judging the team in any serious way is after ten or so games imho. Then you can start to assess new players and existing ones and see what style and shape the team has.
For me I’d suggest we all keep our opinion to a minimum until then whether they be positive or negative and just let the lads get on with it.
I will make one exception if we by some miracle beat Cas next Friday, I think I’d dine out on that one for a while

| I came on hear knocking the team after the H K R game The difference to day was the attitude of the team.They put in the effort in all the basic of rugby There was 17 players who played for each other.On our budget do not expect to win every game ,all I won't is a bit of pride in the jersey .It was there for all to see today .Though 6 and 7 went OK passing of the ball seemed better think Jowitt had some say in this .Hope Mr Chester gives him a run in the team though he went well.This was a good win do not let the ground churning up take any thing away .And thank you Mr Chester for laying down the law and putting pride back in the team .Play with this effete and we could have a fair season but it's got to be every match

| Congrats to all 17 today for a marvellous effort particularly in defence. Some superb runs from Westerman, Ashurst, Pitts, and Kopczak early in the game. No offence to BJB but we even managed to keep the flanks covered defensively. A great confidence booster and stepping stone to the game at Cas next Friday. Well done lads

| The wisest coach I've ever had once told us:
"You're never quite as good as you think you are and you're never quite as bad as you think you are."
This absolutely applies equally as much after today's game as it did after the Rovers game.

The reason for the "worry" after the KR game, I think, was down to just how poor we were in that game and in the Hudds friendly before.
As the old saying goes, nothing is won (or lost) in week 1 and as you rightly point out, the time to pass real judgement is probable after 10 games or perhaps at the halfway point in the season.
I suppose that there were so many things wrong at KR, we simply had to be better.
However, we had more grunt in the middle (both with and without the ball) both edges looked solid, especially our right hand side, which was ripped apart by KR and we defended as a team.
I dont think it was Wires best day and you have to assume that Widdop and Austin will have them rolling before too long but, for now, let's just enjoy the win and actually look forward to the next game.
Come on Trin !

| Top effort today, great win built on outstanding defence. My take on trying to answer Fishermans question would be to suggest that playing Tupou on the wing was a good idea, he had his most influential game for ages and it also allowed Arundel who I think is our best centre to play and he was excellent. The other big point is that because of injuries we played Max , Miller and Rocky at 1,6 and 7 which in my opinion is our best option, it worked well two years ago and I hope is now not tinkered with and given time to develop. Rocky defending on the right side had the pace to cut down Ratchford when he was running on the outside having received the ball behind the runner. Miller was poor in the first half but got involved in the second and showed some good touches. The other big difference was that we completed sets. Attitude was excellent as well

| Hats off to all the squad today ,a cracking defensive effort from 1-17 and ground out a superb win against one of the form teams. Stood up superbly to everything the wires threw at us, and was only breached once after I think 3 sets on our line .

Arundel definitely is the best centre in the club and I hope the bond between him and Johnstone isn't interrupted. Pitts does the little things right and you can see why he was Captain at London and why they did what they did. Thought Westerman was really good in the 2nd half and Tangata and Navarette did their jobs superbly.

Does every one of your posts have to be an advert for Ryan Hampshire. You’re like some odd RL dating app!
Hampshire has never in the two and a bit seasons he’s been at the club ever gotten close to being a first choice HB, I’m sorry but he just hasn’t.
All his best games and he’s had a few, have been from FB or on the wing. He has never had what I would call a match winning game at HB.
Today was no different. Today was won by the pack and the generally excellent defensive mentality shown by the whole team. Neither Hampshire or Miller had a massive impact on the game other than that.
It wasn’t a HB’s game to be fair but let’s at least be honest. Both had poor first halves and much better second halves. Whether Brough would have done better or worse is immaterial as he wasn’t playing was he!
So please please stop over promoting this player and just let him get on with it and find his level, whatever that might be. I really don’t think this constant overhyping is helping the lad, in fact I think in the past it’s positively hampered him
He probably has two or three more games to prove himself before Brough returns. If he wants to keep Brough out he needs to improve quite a bit on previous outings in those remaining games imho.
As I say today was not a day for HB’s so I’m not going to judge him or Miller harshly but likewise I’m not going to give them credit they don’t deserve. As part of the team they played there part but as the MOM tells you, neither were the stars.
If the weather is better on Friday I suspect we will get a better idea if they are the future or another dead end.
Just my opinion and I don’t suppose you’ll agree but that’s forums for you

| I though it was good to see the Miller, Hampshire ,Jowitt at full back combination again after two year .They played two matches against Hull away and Leeds at home were unlucky to lose both but the ball movement was a lot faster than at any other time of the season .Hope all 3 are given time in the team to let it develope. Though we did not miss Brough at all .
