its probably a good job he did, if he did because your team looked like they was blowing at the 60th minute mark. the only team struggling for intensity tonight was huddersfield and our forwards on top which generally means we win the ruck.

True - their forwards looked gone on the hour (apart from Ferres who looked a threat all night).

No love in - he has been poor by his standards since his op but not tonite,

His distribution was good but his allround defence was excellent.

Green MoM by a all smmargin, Flower was awesome agreed as they say its forwards that win matches, backs decide by how many

i'm not on about drop outs, hand overs, penalties, at scrums etc.

ref probably missed is as Brough was in his ear all game

I was ridiculed for suggesting we play 3 props and a 2nd rower on the bench with Micky mac playing the full 80. I hope we stick with this for the rest of the playoffs.

Excellent defence? I'm not so sure. Maybe if you watched it again without the nerves and emotion and you'll see his errors.

I very much doubt anyone has seen a faultless display in RL from a team, or player, I would guess that the word excellent takes that into account and is a judgment on the performance as a whole, and is not a statement of perfection.

big up to Wane, going for the big bench, MM playing the 80 and Logan left out.

Our momentum does get halted when Logan come on. He could be a decent player, we have seen glimpses, but not yet there. Any more news on him going to NZ to carry Sams luggage?

Wane learnt a lesson from when they beat us at the DW, tie up Brough, give him no space and stop him kicking and you neutralise half of their threat.

Wane has stepped up in my eyes as a good tactician.

Not me, what good was Andy Powell? None. I'd drop him, start Dudson/Crosby and play Hampshire off the bench, with Tuson in for Hughes and Goulding in for Thornley with Gelling shifting to the left centre. There was a moment where MM went down and it dawned on me "What the hell will Wane do if a hooker or half gets injured in this one? Farrell at hooker? "

I know that. But as a whole, his performance was far from excellent. Sometimes it is easier to see these things when it isn't your team involved.

For the very few minutes Powell has been on the last 2 weeks I have been impressed,he always seems to be around the action and has'nt made too many glaring errors but after both of his first stints he just looked knackered and had a look on his face like it was all too intense for him.Like the previous poster said drop him for Hampshire so we have options to cover the back line.

Anybody think SOL will be back for the Final?i think even an 80% fit SOL is worth the risk in playing.

Thought Jack Hughes had a good game when he came on as well.
