Big win that in the context of the season, really hope cats beat wire tomorrow

Really happy with that, very good 2nd half, thought smith, suttcliffe, sezer and handley were good and enjoying seeing walters put solid performances in in the front row, his potential is exciting.

Slight negative on handley, as good as he was in everything else, he really needs to stop biting in unnecessaraly, its beyond a joke how many trys we'r conceding because of it, at least two trys today his winger scored when the man he was jamming in on was already covered

Really pleased for Sezer, who got a lot of unfair criticism when he was playing busted at the start of the season. You don't walk out as a starting half in a NRL Grand Final for nothing, and now he is starting to show why. Thought Walters and Donaldson were great in keeping us in the game when Prior and Mik were off. Massive effort from them. Cam Smith great, Sutty very good. What a difference Smith has made. GH really needs to back him in terns of recruitment.

You can add Bentley and Myler to the list of those who performed well. The pace we played at was really pleasing and the handling pretty flawless until we knew we had it won. And I've questioned Sean Long's input in the past; only fair now to comment on how slick our attack's beginning to look.

It was his attitude as much as his injury that was in question

It was my first time at Magic Weekend - what a great day out and Newcastle is such a good venue for it!

Sam Walters went well, offers much more than Tetevano at a fraction of the salery.

Getting better each game.Sezer also now hes over his groin injury.

I have been critical of Walters, but he’s really, for want of a better word man’ed up. He’s running hard and looks like he will grow in confidence and start breaking the line, he then can bring back his handling skills into his game, once he starts dominating the opposition.

Good to hear Chris. I’m yet to get there. There’s been some very good games this weekend. It’s shown the sport in a good light to be fair. Shame channel 4 not shown a few.

Cracking performance by the lads btw. Didn’t expect it given the late injuries. Smith has got us going in the right direction no doubt. Thought Johnson was terrific considering late call and not in his usual position. I think RS will bring him on big time. Sutcliffe best game by a mile for several seasons. Looking like a propper player now, let’s see if he can keep it going

This.

He is doing really well, but I can't see Smith over playing him at prop this season. Got a feeling we are all going to be gnashing our teeth when Tetevano's ban is up. He's never not been selected when available.
