Just something specifically game related, I’m really desperate to see Corey Johnson get more game time. I like the look of him coming out of DH. It would be a shame to lose him.

Im not sure about Corey Johnson, he seems to make a few defensive mistakes in and around the ruck.

Having said that I don’t think there was a poor performance from any player last night, which is the first time this year we've been able to say that.

We still only managed 6 PTB’s in their 20m though compared with their 32

Speaking of defensive mistakes, on at least 3 occasions O’Connor shot out of the line and missed the tackle. It could have been a ploy to force them back down the inside, but against the top sides it could be exploited.

His defence is too poor at this level he missed an easy tackle that lead to a try after he had been on the field line 10 minUtes so cannot blame fatigue. Players make mistakes and miss tackles but that miss was powder puff attempt, Lee Jackson esq.

My impression at the game was that Leigh won the forward battle, but we at least had a proper go at them. Two big props and a second row would transform us. Some have said the shackles were off, but I would argue that they were on for the first time in a long time. The result was less sucidal miracle plays and far fewer errors. This allowed Croft ( who has been outstanding all year) more opportunity to display his talent. Magnificent and unforgettable occasion. The challenge for the club is to create more of these atmospheres from a position of sucess rather than tragedy.

I hope we can keep Sam Eseh for longer

By the shackles being off I meant that they played to a more natural style suited go their abilities and strengths, rather than being shoehorned into a style they were unable to make work. I commented at the game that there were far, far fewer miracle passes, and hence fewer errors, as the style we played didn't cause frustration - an example being the difference in Mik from Hull to last night.

Oledski stats at hull. 32 tackles 18 hit ups for 199m. Shocking stats. People see what they want to see

Last night, T 34 carries 15 130 meters

Croft's 2nd try - watching on Sky, Chris Kendall sending it up to video ref - "Can you check the grounding, he was too fast for me"

Rewatching it our right edge defence was immense

With the ball he looks a natural and fluent 9. Something we’ve not had for a while. I agree his defence needs work. Until he gets decent game time at this level, we’ll never know.

It doesn’t surprise me you being overly critical of him, you’ve expressed negativity about him on here on countless occasions.

Agreed. Looks sharp with the ball. He was involved in the miss on ipape but that looked as much a tired effort from mcdonell to me.

Agree with all thats been said, Frawley looked way better too, probably his best game to date IMO. like the look of eseh, real shame we didn't get him, leeds fan too. amazing occasion and definitely a performance to match, new coach can come in and challenge now, just need some consistency in the team now we've seen they can do it, youngsters looked good too, Ned Mc is one to watch!
