My first thought was 'bloody hell, he had the weekend off and didn't go to the barbers. Scruffy get."

Definately a more 'youthful' Briers today, hopefully he can keep it up. I wonder if Smith plans to use him sparingly with Ratchford/Grix/Myler/O'Brien all able to slot in at halfback?

On yesterday's performance Hodgson can take as much time as he wants to get himself 100% Ratchford was outstanding at FB and I should imagine Riley will now be 3rd choice fullback !

1 Westwood
2 Bridge
3 Ratchford

Good all round performance but we'll have to play better on Saturday to take the points.

The one thing that stops Bridge from getting it for me and probably anyone who watched him from the East/South East areas of the ground was his poor/unnecessary passing.

Bridge- set up or was involved in a few of the tries
Ratch- played awesome at full back an was very safe under the high ball
Rhys- had a great game attacking and defending
