| Pleased to have got back to back victories in the league, it should have lifted the confidence of the whole squad.
Big lift needed for Saints and Hull at home next up. With Scruton and Kearney returning for that we will almost be at full strength! If we want to hit the 8 our goal must be to win ALL our remaining home games.

| How come briggs was dropped then with the return of herbert? i heard that potter doesnt rate briggs then why did he sign him in the first place?? IMO i think he has done well since given a run in the team and doesnt deserve to be dropped just like that

| Nice to see back to back wins. Can't really comment on game cause I wasn't there. Hopefully the sign of a good run in the league. It is saints next though, be we are well overdue a win against one of the big boys.

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

Mr Potter can simply say that his team won and therefore his team was entirely justified. Simple.

Very true but why sign a player if you dont rate him in the first place??

But then he was a late arrival so Potter was already there when he was signed

| Wasn't at the game but would really like to hear peoples thoughts on the HB pairing today, was Herbert and BJ as strong as Briggs and BJ? Was Herbert's game better with a better pack? I only listened on the radio so am in no position to make judgement really but from what what I heard I'm not sure Herbert and BJ is our best option at HB?
But perhaps rather than dropping Briggs Potter wanted to see Herbert and BJ together whilst the team is doing well and I guess against Quins would be the best time to trial it out. Will be interesting to see what team is announced for Saints.

| hmm it is a funny one , i reckon now he spends more time with him like in training and stuff he has just simply changed his mind on him and doesnt rate him any more , either that or he might have a stinking attitude that potter doesnt like!!? its all guess work isnt isnt it really but is definately strange to drop him when he has been steadily improving

Dunno. Panic buy perhaps because we could not get Pryce and we needed another half-back? Why also offer Sykes a three year deal? People make mistakes. Clearly Mr Potter is trying to correct his mistake.

| He mght also simply have a cold or other ailment, minor injury, or maybe Potter just thought that Herbert was a better option for this game.

Jeffries was fine, didnt think Herbert did enough, again.

| Two points. Two points we had to get to have a chance of the playoffs.
I don't really give a toss how we got them, or who the head coach picked to get the points, I am just so glad we did.
We have three very interesting games coming up. Stains hammered a Leeds side that did a Bulls and fell apart in the second half. A big ask, but we are at home so nothing is impossible. And I will be on hols in Cyprus - in the bloody air while we play - so what's the betting I miss the game of the year for us? Hull we HAVE to beat - it is the mother of a four-pointer. Leeds away? I have a weird feeling we might just do it. I'll be back for that one.
Three losses and probably season over. Get some wins out of the next three and it's game on.

| Have to agree, Im away next week too so have a feelinG I will miss our game of the year. If we are at full strength I can see us matching Hull at home, Leeds too even though its away we have come within a whisker of beating them twice already this season. I know a lot of people have put Potter down saying he gets us playing the same game as Mcnamara but I just couldnt have seen us edging out a close game like today under Mcnamara, he has definitely helped drill some resilience into our defence.
