How did lockers look?

Lockers went well, much more assured played mainly as a traditional 13 drifting in to 6, sharing the role with Sam.

Struggled early but got better and better as it went on. It was much like the team as a whole really.

His link up with Hansen, Goulding and Thornley in the 2nd half was much improved and they should all take some confidence in to next week.

Just on the way back now and was a good showing. Smith looked good he came on an it was a good team performance.

Sam's hat trick try was brilliant, if he carries on he won't be far off MOS.

Bring on the Whinos!

As others have said, shaky first quarter, understandable with all the changes, but once we got our act together, we played really well, against a Wakey team that were always willing to work but lacked any sort of cutting edge.

Smith came on for Logan after about half an hour, and fitted in superbly given he's had virtually no time to train with the lads. Thornley was impressive too, though I still see him as more of a centre, hopefully George's replacement long-term.

Sam was well up for it, easily MoM, and Hock & Hansen showed how much we've missed them. Lockers looked a lot more comfortable at #6 now, too.

It was very noticeable that we were running against Tim Smith a lot, especially early on...clearly a tactic the coaching staff had identified!

Nice easy run out, eventually, and with hopefully MM, Preccy and Josh to come back next week, feeling a lot better about the Leeds game!
