Never have too many props!!

Good to see the boys have a dig and get the W but jeez there was some rubbish along the way.
I'm still far from convinced by our attack. Yeah, we got a few once we got a roll on, aided by a ref who seems unusually sensitive to the phase of the moon, but we still seem set on throwing the ball about quickly hoping for a gap to appear. So much better if we make those gaps appear.
As for those hopeful that dry tracks will improve things, I'm not convinced. Our handling and completion are pretty good now and I don't see them improving much.
Back to last night, mik and Rhyse were great, Ackers lucky to avoid yellow. Lots of daft pens conceded. The french lads need to put I'm in more if we're to trouble saints.

Lam looked like a dead leg. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Leighs win/loss ratio since the CC is atrocious, maybe Degsy should concentrate on that rather than gobbing off on twitter.

They were very lucky with injuries last year and it might bite them on the backside this year.

I also wonder if we had some illness in the camp, Newman didn’t complete the warmup and apparently was hunched over like he was throwing up, and we lost Macdonnell to illness during the game.

10cm laceration requiring 15 stitches. He'll be out for a couple of weeks.

Glad Lams injury isn't a long lay off.

Guessing Bentley to Hooker if Ackers / Jo'C unavailable

What did Ackers and O'connor do?

Head high shots but Ackers also went off injured

I don't think O'Connor will be banned but sounds like Ackers maybe missing due to injury.
A real mixed bag again last night. Leighs structured attack in the 1st half was excellent. Showed us how it can be done. We still look lost at times when we do manage to get the field position to apply pressure. It may take more time to gel but the lack of cohesion is a concern.
What can't be denied is the ability to keep believing. They keep going and there looks to be great spirit amongst the players. We look a fit team aswell and are finishing games pretty strongly especially considering the amount of defending we have to do.
Oledski had a great game considering the injury concern. Miller looks a dangerous runner and although he has a few errors in him he can beat a man.
RS mentioned that we were a bit weak in defence in the 1st half especially at marker. Qualities Bentley brings to to the team. Whether you like him or not his workrate from marker is excellent and was missed last night.

Frawley with a great try, showed he can be a runner.
His kicking definitely needs improvement though, doesn’t seem to find space between the back three

Terrific win. Battled well and showed great spirit. A lot of improvement needed though but it’s about points on the board at this stage and that’s a tricky place to go.

Well, what do I know about Rugby League....
First half was dreadful, much like most of last year.
But unlike last year, we are finding a way to win.
A good habit to have.

If we can keeping on picking up wins when not particularly playing well (for the full 80) then that’s a huge improvement from recent seasons.

Saints losing this week was probably the worst outcome for us

Should be a cracking game next week, Salford showed last night that saints are lacking a bit of pace and their outside backs are vulnerable in Defence.

We aren’t going to ‘out structure’ saints i can see is trying to play around them like Salford did.

Bruised shin for Akers, so hopefully he can recover for next week if not banned.
