brough not playing

wood to partner ellis for this game

crabtree back

still no robinson..must be struggling with his injuries..why did we hand out another contract? with leeming and wood wasnt really needed.

Robbo was hobbling at the panto last week.

Looked like quite a sore knock.

A good run out today. Lots of positives and great to play well without Broughy.

Connor, Ellis, Mcgillvery, Murphy all palyed well. Good pack performance.

Grixy played well until he went off.

I thought Leroy was a strange man of the match choice. Two tries but a few mistakes early in the first half.

All round very good. Very impressed with connor at half back

A testing workout vs a solid Catalan team.

Thought we looked good. Some decent shapes attacking out wide and solid down the middle. Hincliffe looks class.

Just think our squad looks a bit light weight. A couple of injuries and we will struggle. Young lads did OK.

Score ?

26-16 to giants

looked good, connor played well at half back

usual strong performances from cudjoe and mcgillvary

still think we need a strike 2nd rower, lawrence isnt that man to replace ferres on that side of the field.

hope roberts injury not too bad, grix looked to be ok.

attendance?

Grix just looke like cramp to me. Roberts was walking ok when he went off looked like he had taken a heavy knock.
Decent work out and good play in patches. A lot of the players really seem to have bulked up.
We had a quick play the ball from Hinchcliffe and the forwards ran hard. Only disappointment for me was performance of Simpson.

does that mean he played poorly after he went off

I must have been missing something because I thought Connor was way off the pace - particularly in defence.

I thought that whole side looked shaky in defence- only some poor handling/decisions from Catalan saved our blushes...

Defense wasn't as good as last week but then Cats were a far better attacking side that KR.

We also came up with a lot more errors as well.

Leroy was a strange MOM - I'd have given it to Jerry.

Can't complain at a 26-16 win when not at your best and without Danny.

Thought McIntosh looked a good prospect. Even outdid Leroy with a Leroy out of the back pass to Jerry.

grix looked badly injured but was ok in the end.
roberts was making a tackle and stretching out with his arm to make it, might be ok too.
thought connor had bulked up alot.
yes simpson didnt make a good impression when grix came off

dont see whats wrong with giving cudjoe mom, thought he played very well !

alot of chopping and changing bound to be a few gaps open up in defence, also with a player like carney in the opposition it will happen.

a win against a good side without brough.

connors defence always been shaky, tried his best to stop broughton going over in the corner but suppose broughton is a good finisher

I agree re McIntosh tbc.Also all the young guns played well.All in all a good run out.
