Why 6 again anyone?

Sneyd MOM for me but I reckon Burt will get it.

Swift has shown up very well today, can’t see how faraimo gets back in.

Shame to end on that but good performance and still improvements to come.
Very promising start.

The whole 6 again thing is a real lottery

Excellent result I’ll take that

Hell of lump on Bowden’s head/eye who I though looked good up until he went off.
Great start and a much more disciplined and structured performance didn’t see much of headless chickens of past seasons.

A shame about that last try but you have to be happy with that performance. Even without Sezer Huddersfield are a decent team who'll be in the top six come the end of the season.

Connor, Reynolds and Sneyd combined really well and the defence was excellent in the main.

Burt MoM

Might just be me been biased but it felt like we got hammered by set restarts for most of the game. Hudds were messing about loads and we barely got any but they seemed to get them quite regularly.

Lovely stuff, if a bit scruffy at the end. Reynolds seems very happy, talking about buying into the club and its culture in his MOM interview.

I thought so too but both ways there seemed to be things either let go or punished inconsistently.

Excellent 60 minutes, totally dominated, a bit sloppy and tired in the last 20, but that's against a strong wind, missed Carlos defensively too, kept there best player quiet for an hour Maybe need to spell the backrowers more Savelio looked shattered the last 10, make a couple of errors.

Thought everyone played well, but really impressed with Swift, justified his selection.

Good start, think our pivots will get better and better.

Though the ref had a good game personally

I'll take that in round 1. Plenty to work on but on the whole a good display against a decent team.
I like the look of Reynolds, he is very busy.

He was very strong in his decision making and explained things clearly to both teams. Missed a couple of things but there we go.

Thought Swift took his chance well and showed it’s his spot to lose. Strong performance especially in defence against McGillvary.

Good first round performance and such a difference in the little details and structure from previous years. Still work to do but pleasing start.

On a side note I certainly don’t see Jones leaving us as a loss at all, with his performance today.

Good result to get the season started, lots of positives to take from that performance.

Mom but said he didn't think he have a great game, Lots more to come from him. Impressive debut. After a couple of frustrating years in the NRL he certainly seems to be enjoying his rugby again,

Very happy with that for an opening performance against a good side

Spine all played well, Taylor worked hard but looks to of lost a bit of weight, Lane excellent, Swift miles better than Faraimo could ever be - tbh the whole team was good

Very happy with that.
Hodgson's wishes of the team enjoying playing seemed to work, seemed a lot more relaxed.
Defensively we looked better as does our line speed at last.
Reynolds was class but thought Sneyd definitely had one of his better games.

Lane and Cator two real workhorses
I guess Lanes workrate is what Hodgson has been impressed by and why he is in the team

Think he may get in for Fonua

I thought Sneyd looked a different player having Reynolds alongside side him as opposed to Kelly. It’s as though he had a little bit a freedom in his game rather than being more reserved also nice to see him take the line a little more too.

Any injuries, except Bowden, guess he will miss next week, Carlos?
