One in the eye for the know nowts on SM who were saying Rohan Smith was clueless for not picking dwyer.
Great effort from the boys and as said , a masterclass from the coach. Not a weak link in the team , and Smith seems able to get the most out of his players . Even Tet is now looking a player and doing much longer minutes than he did in the NRL. One question , if Austin van put up a bomb like he did in the second half ( no full back in the world would have caught it ) why are we limited to one a game - it is a fantastic weapon . Here`s hoping we have no more injuries , and neither of the top 2 will want to play us.
Think we played in a very controlled manner tonight, I don’t feel as though we ever looked like losing and I don’t think we played as well as we are capable of. Think thins group is learning quickly how to be a complete side and winning the ‘tough’ games that take a patient build up and a big grind.
I’m no lover of referees but I thought that James Child had a cracking performance with the whistle, he ref’d everything fairly he missed the odd forward pass etc but no ref is ever going to get it 100% right on the night.

I was referring to them mate. As they should be. I wouldn't want to play us either, given we keep turning up, changed up, and we keep getting the wins...
I think the "no significant injuries" comment was in reference to the fact that there were no long stoppages relating to injuries, as part of him having a pop at Catalans for slowing the game down so much. Gannon clearly won't play next week, which is a huge shame... fingers crossed that Oledski's shoulder is okay!

I'm not sure on the praise of the ref, he landed himself in that position in the first place as there was a clear sin binning early on for a high tackle (if not 2) and he didn't give it. He set an early precedent for what was acceptable.

McIlorum is a liability when the red mist sets in - if he is to play as Wane's preferred hooker he needs to get a grip. Between him, Pearce and Tomkins they had three senior players who completely lost the plot and set the tone for the behaviour of the rest
Tomkins play acting - if this is the way the game is going its very integrity is in question. No doubt he will be a guest commentator for Sky over the next two weeks - bet nobody asks him about his dive!!
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.
