Just a quick word on Josh Charnley - Love Rugby League stated "In-form Charnley
The Leigh star is one of the in-form wingers in the competition right now.

Prior to Round Four of Super League getting underway, Charnley was the league’s leader metre maker, averaging 190 metres in the first three games.

And he continued his good form against Saints, finishing off a fine passing move in the corner. If he carries on this form, then he could be in Shaun Wane’s England plans for the mid-season test against France."

Having watched the highlights, the try he made was superb, requiring strength and speed to cut back against the grain to force his way over.

To a man the squad played well.

This may sound smug, it isn't meant to be, but I felt even going in 12-0 down at half-time that we were playing better than Saints and we'd bombed quite a few chances and Saint were their usual clinical selves in taking advantage of our sloppy plays.

In the second half, I felt Saint were kept pretty anonymous.

Amone is a rock, I've always like Ben and last season he did seem to get better and stronger as a game/season went on. Ava was great, it was only Mulhern I had doubts about as having watched him in the Irish world cup squad he struck me as just another big body, but he did some great carries yesterday.

Ipape's hit on Walmsley was worth the price of admission alone.

T'Pau were good value for money too.

Wire are another beast to try and wrestle with, onwards and upwards.

My only criticism - no tries scored in front on the North Stand! Come on lads, something to work on.

Yes, but 4 tries all scored in front of the disbelieving hordes from St Helens. This was not lost on Charnley, Hardaker and Shorrocks when they went over.

Poor Briscoe, new to this particular piece of local rivalry, was probably wondering what all the fuss was about.

That was something special. To nil saints for 60 minutes was epic. This team hasn’t gelled yet, but you can see the combinations coming together. We’re still pushing too hard in some areas of attack, and we’ve not fully worked things out. However, if we keep defending like demons then we’ll continue winning games and we should get better and better with the ball in hand.

Things are looking positive and I think next week at Warrington will be a very interesting test for this team. Might have come a little too soon for us to win it, but I’m not writing us off.

Some great reads here. Josh just looks so much sharper and lighter on his feet than previous recent seasons. So many positives from the highlights and these comments, If I was playing in that team, I’d follow Kia O’D like a sheep dog. He is always creating space around him and looking for the offload. A few more games together and the lads will be flying off him, Lachy and Edwin.
