3 from 3, we've never done that before.

Another game were our strength has shown, holding out after they scored and came hunting there 2nd try.

Think our 'light pack' has more than stood up so far and Hall and Lee showed good touches tonight

Have to agree about our pack, they've surprised me with how they've got stuck in. Dowes is possibly in his best form for 3 years, Cusack seems to have an extra yard of pace from last season, and Tickle and particularly Radford were again immense tonight.

Not convinced Lee showed enough to retain a place though TBH.

With the new signings to come in, things look pretty positive at the moment. I thought tonight was an impressive team performance from 1-17. Dowes and Tickle were awesome again and I can't wait to see what sort of player Tom Briscoe is in 2 years' time. There's a touch of quality about almost everything he does and, when he irons out his occasional positional errors, he's going to be something a bit special.

Bound to happen every so often when he's playing on the wing, he keeps finding himself in centre's positions. If he was to get a run at centre I think that should help him with that.

If he continues as he is I'll be interested to see what happens when Raynor returns to fitness.

This kid Briscoe looks like a future International,his brother is supposed to look even better.Wonder who found these lads,they certainly had an eye for talent spotting.

I have spoken with a few people who think we as a club need a top class centre and I have said we already have one - Tom Briscoe is the real deal for me - I will go so far to say he is the best youngster I have seen since 17 year old Shaun Edwards.
I leave it to you all to shoot me down in flames

Tickle has been at the very top of his game both with the boot and with the ball in hand. It's certainly a good position to be in with a couple of signings to come and an obvious hunger there for all to see. Have to agree about Briscoe, the sky's the limit for this lad.

Very tough game next Friday mind.

Such a difference to last season, everyone playing their part from 1 - 17. Fitness looks good and can only get better with more matches under their belts. Seemed to be a lot more confidence from the boys tonite.

Well done tonight.

Good result.

Well I'm not gonna....I agree with you.... The lad's a future star!

Nice to be 3 for 3 but we are a long way off still. We lacked some imagination in the final 3rd again. But it is getting there.
Another big test at Hudds next week.

biggest difference for me this season is the fitness, after 20mins last season they were all stood knackered with hands on hips, this season we still look fresh even after playing a physical side like Catalan

Spot on...they looked shagged with 15 mins to go...as did Wigan.
We look to be a team thats taking it out of the opposition for a change,,,good to see.

Don't know the exact figures but to me we seem to be conceding less "silly" penalties. Again this can be attributed to the fitness (mentally and physically) also jon sharps influence on discipline.

That's very true. Apart from Kingy's lay on against Wigan we've looked good in that department.
Only been to 2 of the 3 games though so I cant comment for Celtic game.

part timer

One of 2 I'll miss this season you old goat!

Our pack has been emmence so far this season and I must admit I've been very impressed with Dowes and Cusack in particular. As long as the forwards can continue to lay a platform and work their socks off, our backline is good enough to score some points and hurt teams.

One Step at a time, Jack is still very very raw, Yeah plently of future talent *Fingers crossed* in the 21's ..Pop down and watch when they kick off in March! And watch these guys develop.. i remember last season for the 18's, think it was at either Wigan or St Helens, Tom Stepped down and and a run out for the 18's! Wow he was different gravy!!!!

TBF they said that about Catalans and we made them look ordinary......they have a big pack as well...so just see how it goes.

you cant use that word on here

Excellent defence, we will get better in attack to, Personally would bring in King or Maloney for Lee next week Hudds have a massive pack and Washy will come in for Burnett.

cant believe agar has only 4 games left before he loses his job icon_lol.gif

was 7 games someone said wasnt it?
some people eh



great partnership forming with sharp very clever move bringing him in.plus great stuff from ben cooper with the lads fitness

Yes Wolfie had the same argument with me dad he said 6 games for Agar but I said he and Hull will do far better than last year and with Jon Sharp helping him it can only get better and better.
