Credit to Wane for the choice of bench and timing of the substitutions. We always seemed to have fit props on the field. Lockers went off for 10 minutes then came back on to give MM a 10 minute rest. In contrast, Leeds over played Peacock and Cuthbertson. It will be interesting to see what the pack will be when Clubb, Farrell, and Gelling are all fit.
As happy as I am with the performance and result, I also think that given our conservative play and Leeds expansive offloading style, the result could easily be reversed on another day.
Highlights the need to bring in another specialist hooker. Saints are bringing in Pita Godinet who wouldn't have been a bad option.
Obviously going off yesterday you'd want Mcilorum playing the full 80 (on a selfish desire to get the best out of Wigan) but it can't be practical long-term.

Yeah, very quietly, Bateman has become our best player.

And they are normally the first names on the sheet, just like Harrison Hanson, the work horse and the engine room. Not noticed by some fans but it's certainly noticed by the players and coaches.
