Thewlis kicking now.

Well hope that blows the cobwebs away.

A win and 2 points.

Plenty to work on .

I suppose a win's a win, especially in what has been a rather strange Week 1, but that was not great, in all honesty. Oh well, onwards and upwards, hopefully.

Least big Sam does not have to do a bungee jump now.

Couldn't go or watch on TV due to a family event. For those who watched it, was the move to put in Ratchford instead of Leyland successful? And secondly, how did Russell go in the second row, any improvement seen?

Not so sure about Ratchford, he was not the worse but it was not great. Don’t know who this Russell is you talk of, think him and Musgrove went out for coffee somewhere. Williams was miles off. Lindop was good Vaughan looked good making good metres, Dufty got going in the 2nd half. It is only the first game of the season so a lot to work on and can’t really get down on them since we got the win and that’s important.

Only watched it in bits. Scored a couple of decent tries but we looked off the pace. I don’t think the result was ever in doubt though. In a way im glad we had a tough grind as it’s probably what we needed.

Yep.
Russell ... played... but I hardly noticed him.
Musgrove ... did a couple of strong runs then he's taken off. Why?
Powell looked completely off the pace.
Williams ... I'd have a chat with.

Competent display, but we lacked some sparks of creativity. The games crying out for some entertainment in it.

Defences are too much on top for me.
