Pretty even for me, Michaels' experience vs Lancaster's pace.

Dont think Michaels is far behind Lancaster for pace once in the open.

Having watched the game last night on KC Sport and not being in the state of euphoria, that I would have been if I'd gone, I think FC played very much the same as last season, forwards running up and one man rugby BUT the massive difference was, when the break came we had players in abundance backing up. The half backs had more time and room behind the dominant pack. Still a bit of sloppy defending for their tries but their third came off the back of a superb 40-20. I hope we perform the same against Super League opposition LOL, and when match fitness is obtained, Sika was blowing a bit, we should go well.

Last year we were 2nd for clean breaks so the game plan to some extent did work, we were just not clinical enough in the opposition 20 which looks, from sundays game, to have been resolved slightly. Their 3rd was un-defendable for me - the ball from Kelly was majestic

Naughton for me, but there are pros and cons for all three, wouldn't complain whichever is picked.

I thought Michaels combined well with Tuimavave and would get my vote for Salford but if Talanoa is fit Radford will play him as he likes the strength of ball return that Talanoa gives us.

Are there any Opta style stats for Sunday's game?

I thought Thompson had a great second half, fully committed in defence, and always eager and willing in attack to make the hard yards. in my opinion he would always be in my 17 if possible. certainly didn't look out of place alongside some great company.

They will have reviewed it, as they do with all friendlies involving SL clubs, but this information may only be available for the clubs involved. Not sure though, someone may have the stats?

No, the computer broke when they tried to add up rovers' missed tackle count

BE interested in sika manu figures, he wasn't mentioned a lot but watched the match again and he did a lot of work,
