Not vintage to say the least, but job done.
More patience and better completion that comes along with that, and it would have been easier on the VL household trying to sleep at 7am
Another week for Moylan’s rib cartilage (and Charnley I think also) will be a good thing come Friday I hope.
If we can get a Lam, Moylan, Asiata and O’Brien and Ipape on the field at the same time, I think we can have a good chance next week and in the last 3 games. The worry is that it’s not a well drilled five come Friday, due to constant enforced change, but they are each quality and will each benefit from the four quality pivots around them.
I’m quietly feeling more and more confident about a top 6, based on both our form and the poor form of Catalan and Saints.
Up The Leopards !

See if O'Brien has some punishment for his attempted tackle too

Yip, Asiata with a ban

Got what he deserved, and as you say possibly lucky we didn’t get O Brien as well

Not as big a loss as it once was to be fair, still a class act but injuries and less game minutes when fit mean we have learned to play without him, hughes or more likely trout at 13 will give us some proper grunt that we will need against wire. Moylan being fit will be big to give us that attacking spine

That was a difficult watch for 60 minutes. Tone for the second half was set when O'Brien dropped the ball when about to kick on the last in London's half, when 10 minutes without any daft errors would likely have seen us wrap the game up.

The worry is the last two games have been sealed when the opposition has tired and lost their line speed. That won't happen against Warrington. With Asiata banned, definitely need Moylan fit, but if he's not right, we've seen what happens when he's playing injured in the Wigan game.
