Best opening game we could’ve hoped for. We have had a shambles of a pre season considering how long it’s been and we’ve won Leigh’s cup final. The club need to wake up on how a big club needs to act but ultimately they’ve dodged a bullet because the players are conditioned to dig as deep as you can go.

The only way is up.

Thought Hanley was solid, performed consistently throughout.

Here we go
How do you know hes not spent George Burgess salary cap portion of his wage?

I'll give you a hint, he spent 110 of it on resigning a couple.of star players.

I wonder how much of the first 30 mins had to do with pre-season games. Leigh having 2 and our 3/4 of our first team having half a game. We took a long time to get into 1sr gear, when we did it was 20 - nil. Not the disaster some will make it out to be.

I still feel our pack is a bit young, missing 1 grown up in the front row.

Thought it would be like that, happy to sneak the two points but we'll definitely need some 3/4's back next week, Wakey will murder us for pace if we don't.

Harry Smith takes loads of credit out of tonight. He had such a tough day in that Salford friendly and then he goes in to tonight and runs that fightback. We had no chance without him and I’m really pleased that he’ll walk away from tonight really confident.

Hah hah.

Quite right, Dave. That performance was all IL's fault.

You've been saying all along that we should get rid of him

It’s was the most predictable first half I’ve ever seen! The club should feel so thankful to walk away with a win after the pre season they’ve put together. To say it’s a bonus two points is such an understatement. It has to be a wake up call moving forward.

Nice of you to be gracious in victory. I thought we played really well for most of the game and should have been leading by more than 10 points at half time. But 2nd half even though you only won it 12-0, defence wise it was quite comfortable for you guys. But having said that, I reckon we will get stuffed next week.

Don't be confusing him with facts.

Everything I expected from you guys.

Flew out the blocks, took it to us, ran out of steam.

To be fair to the lad he grew in confidence as the game went on , I spoke too soon .
We do need a kicker though
