I’ve been quite vocal in my criticism of Mago but to be fair I thought he looked good tonight when he came on. Agree with you on Byrne and I’m pretty pleased that he looked more effective tonight compared to his previous performances. Hopefully Peet and his staff have got us turning the corner at the right time.

Just back at the hotel from the game. Terrific atmosphere reminiscent of old Wembley. Nsemba was brilliant and if we've let Forber go to Salford we've cocked up big time. Fantastic day but not seen the game back yet so you lot probably know more than me! :lol:

So now my main takeaway from the game is regret if we're losing Forber.

Davidson's been wrong before. Salford have also been linked with a hooker from London but maybe they could use two given Borough and Cust are off to Hull.

I said after that Wire battering that we'd likely be a bit iffy for a while and that I could really see us turn things in that HKR home game. They're playing better than I envisaged, I must admit but I still have a suspicion we'll see our best performance in a while next Friday. Hopefully we'll get Faz back, along with Harry Smith and we can get stuck in to them.

Nsemba is turning out to be everything I thought Walters would be. Walters in preseason I thought was going to be a star. The game at Hull he played really well, tough. Then in the last minute {I think), even though the game was won, he tries to put on a hero shot and knackers his shoulder. He hasn't been the same since his return, pretty underwhelming. Junior has taken his opportunity with both hands and has gone from strength to strength. He was a colossus tonight. Farrell, when fit, will replace Walters of course. Peet will probably stick Walters on the bench for his utility value going into the playoffs.

Special mention for AK tonight. I think he was a close call for MOM. I actually think he looks a far better half than centre. For me leave Eckersley at centre and let French, Smith and Keighran fight it out for the two spots

It feels like Keighran's a natural left sided player, whether he's at centre or in the halves.

Byrne looked OK, best game from him for a while. For me, he just did the basics well and didn't try too hard, good progress. Massive shame if we lose Forber, never understood why we signed Leeming, even though hes proven a handy signing with O'Neil and Forber's injuries.

The good is digging in and getting the win, minutes for Bevan and Nsemba being phenomenal and pummelling everyone in attack and defence. Thompson again for being the only prop of our rotation to turn up.

The bad is our discipline and our front row rotation. Byrne, Mago and particularly Dupree are killing their teammates with lacklustre effort and attitude. Throw in Walters who again lacks the work ethic to be a top player with us. Any news on Farrell for next week?


I didn’t watch the same game as you mate. That was easily Byrne’s best game for some time, Dupree played well. Our problem was basic errors in the first 40 from Field and Marshall. Sort that out next week and we will take some beating.
