Plusses and minuses for both sides.

Hard to be too judgemental after first game but you'd certainly be looking for fairly rapid improvements from some players. But all will be better after their first run out.

But, on the whole, happy with a win on the board.

Martin and Mellor both had disrupted pre-seasons, there’s plenty of time to find form.

Also can’t really judge until we get proper and settled half backs in place again.

Personally I’d be finding a way to get Walters on the field sooner rather than later.

I think we will have to wait until one of the back rowers is injured before Walters is to come in.If either Martin or Mellor are injured then i would replace with Walters and keep Donaldson on the bench.

I'm sure you're right that it'll pan out like this. I'd probably bring Walters in from the bench myself, I see him more as a threat in offence once the game opens up a little, at this stage in his career. He's what, 110kg already? And still only a pup. Was thinking he might end up at prop before he's finished actually - if he fills out he could be like a good Wayne McDonald.

Broadbent getting some fine praise from Agar. Interview from Serious About Rugby League.

Outstanding kid
