Great to get the win but overall it was a very poor performance against a weak team. Hopefully it has restored some belief into the players and we can kick on. I don't expect a win on Monday but do want us to be competitive for the full 80 and we should be in with a good shout at saints if we can play well

Did he have a good game Mrs B? Did he justify his wage and reputation in that game? He destroyed us in the friendly and has had patches in his career when he has dominated teams. Has he done that yesterday or at all this season. From what I've seen no. He chuckled his way off the pitch at Widnes. He's not in good form, carrying a knock or ......
Hmmmm stats can be interesting Mrs B. Depends how you present them. So the Tank was out performed by Adam Walker.... Did Frank tackle anything yesterday. Of those 143 metres he must have stole 60 ambling in taps from penalties. Allgood 45 tackles. Kelly 34. Frank has been a huge disappointment so far. Why did you change your picture otherwise?

Do you look like 2 short planks as well?

As I have said on another thread, fans of Leeds or Wigan would be quoting the "we found a way to win" tag line. We were offensively flat for 60 mins. We were defensively sound.
For mine, Webster was always going to stir a bit more Derby passion into rovers than Chester every did. They were always going to be fired up for this, and they were.
Monday is about being competitive. Easter Monday games are unpredictable due to the short turn around. Wire had a tough game against Widnes . Hull made it thought for themselves but still managed to prevail.
2 points, a win in their backyard and the future opportunity to talk about the 20 point deficit which was over come to win.

I'm pleased we found a way to win but play like that every week and we won't win many. It's OK beating teams like rovers and wakey when being under par but as we found out against cas, wigan and widnes, you can't do it against decent teams.
rovers have the 2nd worst defence in SL yet nilled us for an hour yesterday. As I've said, we need a big improvement

I like Frank a lot. He's not been a huge disappointment to me at all. Averaged 120 metres a game so far. Good stuff and not really the disastrous investment you'd like to fabricate. Return per £ he's delivering more than Campese or Kelly so far this season, for example. My sig had Taylor and Pritchard in. Previously I had Minichiello whom I think is very good. Before that Ellis, I think. Given the topical discussion on Magic weekend shirts which has a limited voting period I thought it would be nice. I'm very happy today. Your desperation to bag Pritchard when you've got Dane Tilse on megabucks is just icing on my cake.
