Sounded like Atkins didn't do anything to justify his inclusion over King? Also sounded like Benny had a good game along with Ratch?

Atkins had a strong game. He swapped with Gene and covered the wing in defence, in fact that was just where he was when Mellor kicked and it went straight into his hands, Atkins had the luck to help set up the match winning try.

I'd say Atkins was one of a handful that gave his all, with the 2 Bens, Patton, Ratchford, Joel and Currie. The rest was average or poor.

Atkins did more work today in the middle of the field than he did as a centre which makes me wonder why we don't give him a run in the back row. He's big and strong enough, runs it hard and tackles hard too so he could blossom there. His centre play is nothing special either.

Made up to win but if we have 'turned a corner' we must have crashed into a lamp post.

Handful of players can be happy with their effort and application including Westwood, Ratch, Higham, Ormsby, Hill....others less so.

Hilarious wasn't it, we were predicting 12k, maybe and a half.


West stand was about three quarters full, and the north including the new corner were very busy.

Underwhelming 15 minutes stint from Roy today.


If I was Sims England Harrison and chilly(chilly in particular) I'd be ed off at the minutes being handed out

Can anyone explain how Ben Harrison got MOM ,im confused, surely they meant Ben Westwood.

Great to take the spoils off that smelly bunch, but could have easily gone the other way. For long periods we were second best. I'm no tactician but I don't see the dummy runners out wide that so many other teams have, just flat suicide balls.

I'll take the two points though.

Just under fifteen I think. .......I'm so angry about it......I really am I've never seen anything like it in my entire time of watching rugby league. He was tackled once I think. ...

This might be in his defence, or it might be wrong and he was just that . ...but he was really wobbling in the defensive line for a set...
... he was going left and right and i was worried widnes would run at the gaps around him. ....he didn't appear concussed but maybe he was. ....

How he got knocked I will have no idea. ....

gutted ya barstewards.

We'll take the 2 points but couldn't have complained had we come away with nothing.

looking at today's close win against Widnes and on the back of last weeks mammoth effort to defeat the Rhinos yet again for the second time

I would question as to whether there is a pattern emerging that when you guys have to raise your game massively to play a top side and defeat them that you exert that much into the game that the side suffers afterwards?

After you defeated the Rhinos in round 5 at home you then went onto lose to Saints,Giants,Widnes and the Tigers before ending your slump against the Wildcats

Thoughts......

Susanna Reid.....

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think the lads can take more credit than is being given, they plugged away and got the win, deserved was questionable, but local derby a win is a win,, and sometimes the dirtier the better, that will take some getting back from, Westwood was the pick great performance cracking tackles and ran hard, followed by Harrison, hill, ratch, England , monas, Simms rest seemed to be going through the motions at times,
I was concerned about not backing up our tries with kicking the extras, was it 5? Today, 10 points, thrown away, need to tidy it up, or it produces tight games like today,,
