Quote: Saddened! "Magennis was great as well. He's a young player who gets a lot of flack, presumably for not being as good as James Graham. But he played really well tonight, running the ball strongly and putting in some crushing hits.
Dixon was his usual self, scored a belter of a try down the left channel and worked hard, he's such a classy player.
Forster I presume you mean rather than Foster? He did okay, didn't look out of place. '"
I was cursing come 60 minutes that we hadn't brought Forster on for a run, but then I realised, the game time was probably better used for Magennis.
He's a player a haven't made my mind up about. He's built like a little tank, but I feel he struggles to compete physically when going forward, struggling for yards in contact and ending up on his back too often. However, he's got good feet, a nice offload and likes to stick the shoulder in hard when tackling, so as he develops a bit physically, he could turn into a very good allround prop.
Forster, albeit for short minutes, looked very at ease. A couple of good drives and looked solid in the tackle. I think he should be looking at going out on loan.
Dicko's try was nice, who copped the hand-off from him?
I thought our best performers were actually the lads who played some of the least minutes, Laffanchi and Soliola.
The team as a whole played very well, especially to keep Widnes to 0. The only compliants I had are a rather indifferent long kicking game and I felt a couple of times we weren't getting it wide at teh right times.
