I thought Oli Leyland kicked well & that Musgrove was our strongest runner by some way. I was disappointed with our overall defence and our reliance on one man drives. Patton was best attacking back on the field.

End of the day it was a game to see how individuals went, it was never going to be a team game with the amount of substitutions going on.

Yeah it was a good run out for some of the players and valuable experience for the younger guys. Alfie Johnson seemed to go really well, Russell put a good stint with alot of effort in. No improvement from Musgrove, Leyland just sat back and kicked for most of the game. But this is just listening to the radio, also it's basically a game for the younger guys. First game of pre-season and doesn't really mean much yet.

[quote="Or thane":9wgvg554]What's the wire TV coverage like, is it ok?[/quote:9wgvg554] It was okay. Dave Cain was a bit RL Raw in his 1st commentary, but he did ok and he’ll be better for reviewing himself, and I guess better than I would have been…. Yes I had done RL radio commentary in the early 90s.

Harthill looked busy and I felt the same regarding Musgrove he just was not making meters after contact the way Wood was. Just to be clear I am not saying Musgrove was garbage just I expect more from a bloke his size. When I saw the Widnes side come out for warm up I was thinking jeez Musgrove should skittle these.
