Agree with all of above - ground out a good win in poor conditions playing the game the right way with good ball retention fewer pens and solid drives. Really impressed with Fergie who notably made some good runs out wide, broke through and even kicked through. Thought that added a lot to our attack last night. Main thing for me was the effort from the whole 17 especially in defence and the desire to win. Been a long time since the whole team celebrated together like they did when the win was assured with a few minutes left. Seems the team spirit is good which goes a long way. We can only get better from here and the week break may actually work in our favour to make a few tweaks, practice some more plays and of course have more players available for selection.
Apart from Ratchford Wire were poor though but you can only play what is in front of you. Good win overall and encouraged for the season to come.

wow its going to be quiet on here for a few weeks after that!!







thought we were always in control lastnight, never looked like losing... the game i felt should have been won by half time, two disallowed tries which would have been interesting if there was a video ref.

was abit worried about having a collapse like at hull in the second half but need not worry!!

thought ferguson was brilliant, but i like him anyway, such a hard player to put down once he gets his legs pumping... bossed murdoch masila.

murphy...again another who doesnt get enough credit, wins important pens like jerry when bringing the ball back.

rankin, showed up well lastnight too...

players to return from injury in coming weeks, things looking brighter!

5100 not a bad crowd in that weather and a thurs night... thought the lights going on and off at the start when players came out was a nice touch

From the outside that sounds like a really good result. Better still if you managed to control the ball which was more than either side in the other game managed to do.

ceraintly cut down on the errors which cost us last week at hull in the second half

Just because a couple of fans leave these boards crying because of valid criticism and facts about how poorly the club is run off the field, that does not mean people on here are against the club

Last night was a great result unexpected to me , but very welcome and really pleased for the club and the players let’s hope it leads to a good season.

Well done all

Totally agree hxgiant.

There seems to be a few people who believe that supporting the club also involves blind loyalty to the sclerotic management who are obviously holding it back.

The forum- and in fact the world would be a very boring place if everyone had the same opinions about everything. No one likes a good “debate” more than me- without an opposing opinion I wouldn’t get one!
I’m quite forthright in my own opinions but by the same token I want others with opposite views to voice theirs just as noisily! I never take offence of someone doesn’t agree with me- I just shout a bit louder

I thought the light show was very good, and should be used at all night matches. The game was, I believe better than a lot of fans said. When I saw the team sheet compared to Warrington`s I didn`t give us a cat-in-hells chance, but the lads selected did extremely well. It was down to our defense most of the time that kept Wire at bay, and they very rarely got nearer than 10 metres from our line, and in those conditions was a very good effort. The ref took the players back about 12 metres which is why he didn`t pull up many off-sides, having said that Wire were quick out of the blocks as they were on our first receiver as soon as he got the ball, apart from that he gave a few queer decisions both ways, which is swings and roundabouts, and ok as long as a bad decision does not affect the result which it didn`t.

I agree with all that and great what’s going on on the field

Let’s look a bit deeper though off the field, Ken rightly said the other night we need double that crowd to be viable ,not easy in the current market but lots of opportunities if you look hard enough. The game will evolve and are we switched on to to move forward ,past performance would say no. Over to those in charge

I couldn't agree more, A forum is not a mutual admiration society, some people need to get into the real world. Everyone has their opinion and i for one like to hear them, even the ones i don't agree with. I think the reason the club gets so much criticism is that it seems so poorly run and the impression comes across of not believing we can live with the big boys.

Steve May made a good point about Ken Davy , I think he was right, no one can fault the financial support he has put into the club but it takes more than that, I buy a season ticket and i go to the odd away game when i can, so even though i can be critical with the best of them i still keep going down

I hope Daz comes back on when he's thought about it a bit, there are few enough posters without losing them, Ive had my disagreements with Daz on the board, but nothing to bother about and i have never let it bother me because it's never serious, It's a rugby league club, nothing life or death about it, certainly not worth leaving the board over mate so get yourself back, we are all supporters, and we all know exactly what's best for the club
