Although not key today I thought Magoulias showed some really good touches. Looks like he’s getting fitter and will offer something different in the 13 role.

Oh, and how fast was Connor Wrench when he scored his try!

That whole sequence was fantastic, good set up, it must have been a real Ballache to try and guess what we were going to do and we ended up with a 2 man overlap.

Watson will no doubt be very disappointed with his team tonight, I was expecting a kicking

I missed the game today and I've not read all the comments but I do love the fact Wrench, Thewlis and Dean are lads that want to play here and seemingly put in a performance. There's alot to be said for taking pride in the shirt.

He can only do that if picked...which after today he should start against the pies

Widdop and ratchford are expected to be out for a few weeks, the duck can let us know when Williams will be back. Even so surely dean gets a nod in the halves with Williams ahead of Mata'utia if Williams does come back?

Incidentally Mata'utia May not be the greatest player we have ever signed but he has played a lot of positions for us now and his attitude is always spot on. He would definitely have been the fall guy today if we lost, but him and Riley Dean made a mockery of our marquee recruitment.

Finally someone has mentioned matautia. The guy was captain in all but name today. Was constantly talking to, and encouraging the youngsters. Thewlis and Dean were outstanding, but peanut was my MOM.

That’s all I’ll ask for, even if we didn’t get the result, we played hard and used the ball positively. Ashton saw a lot of the ball, the halfbacks looked like they were comfortable together and the fullback like he was excited to get the ball because he believed he could make something happen.

I’m a bit long in the tooth to demand that we’re top and win everything, I just want to display the right attitude.

I think it’s time to put these kids in now. They will have bad weeks (Longstaff last week for example) but they need to get them out of their system.

Thewlis is a star, Dean looked cool and composed, Wrench glided into space and just cruised to the line without needing another gear. Also, the King and Currie link is looking really lively.

Still, Cooper is the key for me. He was first class yesterday. Supported well by Mulhearn too.

The little things that Thewlis did were impressive. I watched him time his jump to a high ball to perfection with three Hudds players charging in on him.

Just watched the highlights. Looks to me like Lolohea deliberately tripped Matty Ashton in the lead up to the first try. TJ didn't do anything but looks clear when you watch it.

Thanks for the heads up re. the highlights.

I agree it is a deliberate trip, and he should get a ban.

Hill, lolohea and cogger all suspended

I'd forgotten about the hill crusher on walker

A costly afternoon all round for the Giants.

Two consecutive matches then that our opponents have had players suspended for tripping by the disciplinary panel after reviewing the games, yet the games officials missed both incidents and we weren`t even awarded a penalty.

There were literally three referees a few feet away from it, all with a perfect view. Not that it ultimately mattered but that's unacceptably bad.
