Very pleasing if unexpected scoreline. Best part was the performances of Faraimo and Paea. Faraimo’s first carry was ace, if he continues like that he’ll be a right fan’s favourite. And Paea looked like he’d never been away.
When Watts dropped out I thought we might get steamrollered in the forwards with Tag, Watts, Bowden, Manu, Mini and Green all missing (essentially our starting pack). They stood up to the physical challenge really well I thought, just 2 tries conceded. Handling not amazing either side but it was snowing all game.
Hopefully good on injuries too. Masi got clobbered and went off in first half but came back for big minutes in 2nd. Connor took a bang to his arm first half but stayed on. Think Radford will be satisfied again.

I know it was a friendly but I was surprised how easy it seemed against a pretty much full strength Cats team. We won without needing to get out of second gear, which is pleasing considering the bulk of our pack was missing. I was impressed by Faraimo's strength in carrying the ball, I think he knocked Aiton airborne with that first carry Haha

I don't think so 2017 23 app. out for 7 week period june/July 2016 26 app For someone who people don't consider to be a first choice XVII player he makes a lot of appearances and always has a strong game.

Always been a bit indifferent to Green if im honest but in our last game of the 2017 season in the play offs against Leeds we was going no where then Green came on and totally changed FC and was possibly our best forward on the pitch - hes deffo got it, just needs to find consistency and not get injured as much
