I thought a draw was a fair result - let's not get too carried away, on the plus side was much better enthusiasm, organisation and commitment than we saw against London, BUT we drew only on Wakefield's poor goal kicking - 5 tries to 4 to Wakey!
Onward and upward - Come On You Reds

I think it was a great result but the real test of character will be how we perform on Friday against Warrington. Considering our opponents will be coming off the back of two unexpected defeats and to avenge last years heavy loss, will only make the task harder. Especially with us having two days less than them to recover and prepare for the match.

I was encouraged by what I saw. Enthusiasm, determination and energy were there and they seemed in short supply against London. I hope we can keep Darrell Griffin for longer than a month as he gives us go-forward and helps Shannon McPherson and Lee Jewitt go forward as well as we're not reliant on just one man. I still think we need another prop though.

I was worried that Vic Mauro seemed to be carrying an injury. I think he only managed ten minutes in the second half which meant that our other forwards tired visibly.

Theo Fages gives us a little bit extra, Thought Marc Sneyd did very well at full back - particularly true if it was his first ever game there. Jack Murphy looked much more confident and skilful on the wing as well. Martin Gleeson is beginning to contribute more in attack too.

I'd have happily taken the draw before the kick off.

I don't think I've been as cold at a match for years either, so full marks to both teams for performing in those conditions!

As Trevor Hunt put it the other day: 'He appears to be carrying a bit of timber.'

Time for a bit of spring pruning for vic then..

Let us not forget that the season in Oz only started last week so in terms of preparation they are five or six weeks behind where the rest of the team are.

I can't see them being unfit if they've been training with Manly, a notoriously fit team. More likely an aclimatisation issue. It takes me about three weeks to adjust when we get the first freezing cold days and I haven't just left 30c+.

I think you are missing the point, I didn't say they weren't fit, but behind in terms of conditioning, being fit and being match fit can be hugely different.
