By far and away our best performance of 2023. A great effort from 1-17 and a good use of the bench from Tony following losing Griffin for the most part of the game. I don't know if it was a case of the penny finally dropping but it felt completely different from the past couple months of watching us, there was some real aggression in both defence and attack and with some smart plays on the ball to match.
It is important that we don't get carried away here. Of course I am happy to see my side win but this is a first in 8 attempts, which still makes for grim reading. It is vital that this is the kickstart for our season, Wigan is a tough test of course, but if we play with the same attitude as yesterday then we will give ourselves a fighting chance.

I thought he was outstanding yesterday , Returned the ball in well and made some good breaks , Still got some pace about him .

He looks to be over his bad injury spell, so id agree worthy of another deal but max 2 years, as he'd be 32 at the end and wingers often age quickly after 30.
