I’d agree regarding the score line flattering us as for long periods the game was very much an arm wrestle. We deserved to be 12 up as they were terrible to start however that second 20 they targeted Oli Russell in defence and we were in trouble however we didn’t panic we shored up the issue and fully deserved the win. 


MM is a player we are rebuilding this club around and he is thriving on being that player. We have had talisman type players before like Big Dave but I don’t think he contributed in the same way as MM has done so far, he looks to be driving standards across the board where as DF was more inspiring by coming up with an individual bit of brilliance. 


Pitts, Uele, Hood, TJ all excellent too, in what was a very good team performance. 


I don’t think we can read too much into yesterday regards next week as I don’t think it was as big of a thumping performance wise as the score reflected but full credit to the boys yesterday and if we play to the same level of performance week we will be there or there abouts. 

Their main level of threat came when they started rotating their bench on and I think that is one area we need to be better next week. 

A cracking night overall though looking forward to Friday!

Very positive after last night ,just shows how good we can be with some 50/50 calls going our way .Ok the score flatter us ,but we were far the better team ,apart from 15 minutes in the first half . Just pass one comment on a player that was not playing last night ,and got to put tin hat on .Question is how can you drop anybody after last night's performance .80 plus completion rate and 9 penalties against that is why we looked so good

Yes, absolutely agree in regards to Fifita, he was exceptional for us and will be forever a legend as a talisman in turbulent times, but I feel Mckmeeken is a cut above in regards to setting and driving the standards to get to where we all envisage we can. 

I feel the majority of our tries came from broken play/ interceptions and not set shapes laid on by our halves so next week will literally feel like a fresh slate. It would be an amazing feat getting to a SF in our return to SL. 

Even though it was a big score defense won us that game in my opinion.Leigh really came back at us, as they have done all season successfully but we stood our ground and forced errors.


Just like Sts did to us we capitalised on every error.


Really good performance across the board


I agree it will have no bearing on the cup but we should go in with confidence.


And I agree about MM.
I can't honestly think of a better more influential signing in a lot of years.

If you stick your head above the parapet you need to put a tin hat on, Trueman wasn't playing last night so why the need to have a second dig at him?, wasn't winning and having our fair share of the rub with the referee enough to soak up, any slice of luck against the 2 Hull clubs would have put us on top of SL we had some good luck last night by not having any bad luck if that makes sense to you, you ask how can you drop anybody after last nights performance, well my question to you is, if that's the case and I'm not saying I disagree with you but if you think Ollie Russell had a good game then why have a second pop at Trueman unless your saying he had a good game just to justify your prejudice against him.
