Top of the table is looking pretty interesting with Wigan losing to Wakey today, considering they play Saints next week too. Odds will be in Wigans favor for that I'd imagine, even with Saints win against Cas today. Assuming we win against Cats next week we'll go back top, aint that something.

Not really a bad decision. Widnes have played twice since we last did and took two beatings, the last one only on Wednesday. On the ipitch let's leave Peacock and Leuluai out and save them for the physical French next week. Going without your starting props equated to not the best performance but job was done and 2 points gained.

a great result today when you consider that we had jp and kylie rested plus we also had jjb,aiton and magsy back
both jjb and aiton came back well before intended so they all got some much needed game time

at times like this its not about the performance but more about getting the result and getting players back out on the field

i would be happy with an away win at widnes irrespective of their poor results recently

McDermott said Peacock had a bit of a twisted knee from last week and Leuluai a calf strain so not just rested but being cautious with like many have asked for. Both should be fine for next week.....also Achurch should be fine for next week too he added.

So just Burrow whose is only a couple of games away and Hardaker (3 more matches) are unavaibale now it seems. We weren't at our best today but another step back in the right direction and we've got plenty of weeks before the CC semi to keep going on an upward curve performance wise and hit a hot patch for then.

squad wise things are certainly looking very bright and all of the returnees should have had plenty of game time come semi final time

Quite right. The only sport men of their age should be playing on a carpet is bowls.

Some very poor stuff from Leeds, but once they got into a groove, Widnes had no chance.

Ryan Hall's hand-off is reaching legendary status.
