I didn't see that coming with Wakey. There doing Saints a favour then AS108

Happy to see a long paragraph off Saddened, usually means we are quite good.....if we get better as Blake Austin alluded to post match, I guess he'll dissappear as per a couple of years ago...

to the game... well pre match actually. i noticed Goodwin was practising catching high bombs while a member of the training staff wore a tackle pad on his back.
Bryson was jumping up hitting the pads in the air while catching the ball Aussie rules style.. my comment was "whats going on here never seen this before". He then caught faultlessly throughout the game... real atention to detail that the coaching staff and players should be commended on...

the game was superb stuff Austin looks great and everything i thought he would be, like a more athletic faster more well balanced Briers...

Watching it back on sky I skipped the whole season and thought wow He's gong to be partnered with Widdop next year...!!!

Patton was ok ..... ha ha only joking he was as good as the rest of the team apart from Hill Cooper Austin Ratchford Daz Clark and Goodwin who i thought were exceptional

As fans we see so many knockers and I'm one when I feel its warranted but even when it's not....when someone harshly or wrongly rips a player, we say nothing. When a player get a rap who may not be flavour of the month, everyone is horrified.
The RL family mentality is upside down.

I’m at a loss to sometimes understand the unnecessary debate.


Putting it succinctly we played extremely well last night. There are no negatives from that performance after game 1.

The “Wire Flyer” at half time, please tell me that isn’t our away strip he was wearing...

Stop talking sense.

I actually can't believe some of the nonsense on this thread, the bickering after such a dominant TEAM performance with Ratchford Goodwin Clark Charnley Lineham superb IMO honourable mentions for King Atkins Westwood and a great competitive debut from our star signing who looks on limited viewing admittedly like you'd want your marquee half back to look game one A Good chance of a nilling despite 12 on the pitch for twenty minutes

I really don't know what more anyone could want or expect and the post match interviews summed it up nicely for me they think there is more to come no resting on laurels at Wire I can't wait for the next game

Not at all. I simply loaned him my onesy for the evening.

I thought it was either Roy Asotasi or Tyrone Roberts

Did he swallow the amyl nitrate soaked tangerine whole, before the race?

I am afraid we had to force that down his throat before we let him on.

Only a matter of time before the next “drugs in SL” headline then WO and we will know who to blame.

An excellent first game, we bossed them in both attack and defence. There was an edge to our attack where you think we're going to score whereas previously the belief was not there previously.

New players Austin looks everything robersts didn't n that's interested and Jason Clark looks a good solid player maybe in the mould of Waterhouse, hoping he grows into the squad.

Austin and Patton controlled the game well, they communicated and the passing between the two was a positive I think that it will develop quite nicely as the season progresses. I think kicking from both can be fine tuned I expect both austin and patton to be finding their wingers with the high ball more.

Our pack was phenomenal and won the collision in attack and defence probably not seen that level of intensity and determination since brisbane. For a first game we could not have asked for more especially given we've a few still to get a game I don't think we got out of 3rd gear last night our next big challenge will be Wigan, we cannot lose points on our way to them.

We looked very good live at the game. We looked equally good watching it all back from the TV footage. Not quite sure why there are individuals on here with a need find holes in our game. And yes, you are entitled to your opinion blah blah!!

Don't underestimate the fact that we shut Leeds down apart from one break in the first half and apart from a missed tackle on Ward.

Great crowd, big game atmosphere. A massive well done to the club. Keep doing this and the bums will remain on seats ala 2012.

Great start to the season.... Don't want to get too carried away at this stage but with lots of squads depth and players chomping at the bit to earn a shirt its the most optimistic start to a season since the Sandow inspired 2016 season when we won 7 in a row....

How fast is Blake Austin over the first few yards!!! He's going to make a mockery of lots of defenders this season.

Decent hit out with quality all over the pack. Very interested to hear the comments of Austin and Price on the catch up. They both thought we were essentially below par and have a long way to go. Nothing but positive for us.

Leeds will come good .. I hope it's this weekend.
