Cracking win in the sun. I didn't expect this but a great response from last week, and with Widnes only drawing too, brings us a little closer.

Played all of the Top 6 now and lost to Widnes and Wakefield(which everyone will likely lose too)
The only real negative is the York performance.

What a win! We made the Eagles look very average with our patched up team.

Massive stints from Doro, Lawrence, Fulton, Lilley and Souter. I also felt Okunbar went very well. I hope we can keep hold of him for the a few more games.

Always good to get one over Aston and that whinging bugger Thackery.

Tremendous unexpected victory today, a much changed side against the second best team in the comp, Okunbur. sounded a handful and our pack got on top of theirs today.
Hopefully we made the frown on Astons face worse, always critical of Odsal when they play here, you would think the Eagles played at the Bernabeu.

Really impressed that we bounced back from the Wakey game with that performance. Had to work really hard in spells as Sheffield came out the blocks firing.

Okunbor looked impressive, would be happy to hold onto him longer if he players with that effort and aggression. With Blackmore and Tafua missing we needed his yardage to get us out of our own half.

Fulton was immense again, what a signing he has been, however wearing a protective boot at the end was worrying - just hope he isn't out for long.

Really pleasing two points and a good afternoon of entertainment.

Fulton picking up an injury is a big blow as he's been one of our stand out players this year. EOC stating that he has a calf issue.

Gaskell should be returning next week.

Great effort today from 1-17 I thought we showed a real toughness in defence and really didn't take any crap off them. I don't know how Davies was still on his feet at the end, what a player.

Great performance. Our sliding defence seems to be working at last, apart from their 1st try. How that referee passed his refs exams I have no idea.

My only concern was the crowd. Was it 2300? Something like that? Was a good quality game, and was anticipated as being good quality. Also good weather.

Was unable to go to the game as my son had a late kick off over at Lock Lane on Sunday, but sounded to be a good performance despite the lack of fit bodies. Also good to get another one through the academy product line too.

This part of the season is always interesting as players line up their next moves and we historically have always had issues with (dare I say...) "commitment" levels from those rumoured to be moving on. Glad to see its not kicked in fully to date, but there are a few whispers swirling about players moving on next year, so time will tell if they turn up .

Would be great if we could get a few of the loan signings on permanent deals as they certainly look to add quality. I know FC fans have slated Okunbor but he looks a unit in the back line and sounds to have had a decent game. Tindall has always looked good when playing on loan and I think he just needs a settled run in a side to show his best form.
