Meadows was very good. Samutt went for 10 which gave him a chance with his boot. Good open field kicker.

Cunny was ok despite not passing the HIA, was back on the touch line smiling. Dragon, first suspicion was possibly a cracked rib, would be surprised if he plays next week, he didn’t come out of the sheds in the second half.
Don’t think the negative is a small negative, first half 7 penalties 5 of them for interference at the ptb, far far far too many. Difference was experience, Fev knew what to do to win the penalty, whereas some of our players don’t have the game nounce to know how to get the penalty!
Meadows played well, but his lack of experience showed, winning the ruck then not trying to gain his feet. Kicking down field into space when getting the ball dead would have been better.
Fev came out in the second half with one plan, try to bully, and we got sucked in, tbh though they played there best Rugby with 12 players.
We are playing much more like a team playing for each other, fitness is good, tackle technique is actually much better than last year (thanks wardy) but they need to be much more disciplined.
Overall the game got very scrappy, had we played smart it would have been 60 plus.
Players really do need to learn where to re start as well, the 40/20 was a classic example

Crowd just under a 1000 today I think, not brilliant but still above last years average.

Not actually seen what was said yet, but apparently wardy not happy with the performance, good that he is setting the bar high and not sitting back and just accepting the win.

Sounds promising. Wonder who will take Williams place next week. Api back, will he get in the team ??

Pierce Paul would be my guess

Any thoughts on Fleming the new centre?

He seemed to jump the line a few times in defence.

Seems that there was a general policy change a couple of years back and Attendances were rarely announced to the press. Not sure if the RFL were involved, but it does seem to be across all competitions.
1,000 is good if you consider Fax only got 1,500 for Sheffield last week and 2,100 for Toronto this week...both visiting teams only an hours drive to Halifax, but obviously the side from Manchester bring more fans

To be fair Fev brought a few

Decent number from gods own, they made a fair bit of noise as well, especially when Sammut got himself binned. That was just stupid thing to do ref had no choice.
Think actual number was summat like 962

Jacob Ogden for me

Elliot Kear? Or still injured? He seemed to be walking around fine today.

My first game of this season and I thought we were great, the tries at the end for Fev mostly came down our left which was a bit all over the place after Williams & Cunningham's injuries (Cunningham played centre after Williams went off for those not there).

Sammut is a class act, SL level for me. And I think Matt Davis is superb, he'll go on and be another McMeeken I think.
