Bob on. I thought we dominated more than enough up front but lacked any sort of creativity when attacking their line. The forwards did their job but nothing was done on the back of it. Pryce, for all his negatives, was severely missed tonight.

I thought we missed Fozzard's go forward, and I wish we had him back. Fa'asavalu isn't doing what he should be doing and Hargreaves isn't making any yards.

Wilkin is also the first to bring down the opposition's biggest yardage maker.

Sadly, with an aging squad, we have to take some hard decisions, which last year saw Fozz and Big Willie let go, when they could still do a job for another year or two. However, in the big scheme of things, it is important to do this for the long term good of the team. I'm sure that we will do something similar at the end of this season, a couple of players with life still in their legs will not be here next year...

Agree with 2 points you make there. He will get better in the dry but he also needs to step up and take on more responsibility. He had an up and down season last year and really needs to be more consistent.

I think he's started the season OK, without being outstanding. His defence has improved alot in the last 3 years and his workrate is very good. He also hits very good lines.

Thought Long had a good game(exept for that late poor decision),as did Wilkin. I was impressed with Frodsham went forward in the impact every time. We are going to struggle If Cayless goes missing for most of the season like last year,the forwards tired late on for me.
We obviousley missed Pryce last night, looked very unorganised in attack at times. Only haveing one genuine amplified the problem for me.
We werent at our best at all but fair play to H.K.R they stuck to their guns and just wouldnt go away.
Finally great to see so many youngsters haveing a go,we should get a couple of good'uns out of that lot at least.
