True but either way MM is coping an ban if he got sent off or not.

How did Fielden go?

MM acted like an idiot and his stupid actions could cost us the GF - we'll have noone else to blame but ourselves if we blow it in the playoffs/GF.

Like a school kid playing his first game. Best thing all night as him having a go at the staff for pulling him off after 20 minutes. Thought he went ok 1st spell defended ok but nothing with the ball. Second spell went well with the ball.

Should be in the side for the next game for me.

After that though it's made me slightly more confident about the play offs

Hugely proud of the boys tonight....65mins one man down and lose by 8 to 3rd place team. Nothing to be ashamed of there. Micky Mac to be banned for sure....was a sending off for me....just wish we saw it applied consistently or not at all.....happens every week with just penalty given....that annoys me more ethan the sending off itself......Catch somebody who is falling high and sent off.....elbow to face of player on floor and just a penalty!!!!
Either way, well done to the boys....nothing to fear in the play offs based on tonights performance

Im still a bit concerned about our timing in attack. Too many mis-timed runs and sloppy passes that would of stuck earlier in the year especially down the left.

Great to see Fielden back and looking very hungry. I believe he was the top tackler when he was withdrawn first spell which is some achievement for somebody who hasnt played for 2 years. Looked to be slowly getting back into the swing of things with the ball in hand in his second spell. Very disappointed Wane didnt give him a bit longer on the field. He looked huge too!

Just come off and I'm happier then I was after HKR and Salford.

It sounds daft from Micky Mac but it was a fair effort there after.

Happy with that performance...we'd have won easily without the sending off. Kicking game was often poor, but other than that, a good all round display. Special mention to Lockers and Hansen, who I thought were outstanding.

More concerned with how feeble Sam still is in defence. Drops high/low kicks and never makes a one on one tackle. If Matty Russell played like that he'd be dropped for 6 months

Hansen was an absolute monster tonight, my MOM. Dudson & Fielden did alright on their returns. The backs in general were a bit meh though.

Hansen and Lockers were outstanding tonight imo.

McIllorum was just bloody stupid. 2 games min for him and deservedly so.

Can't really comment properly on the game as it was ruined from the 16th minute.

It appeared as if we were "ok" but nothing more.

Anyway, tbh it was the best result for us.

Real question is can we kick on.

Performance was more important than the result for us, especially when we went down to 12.

The other teams have much to worry about after that, there was a point when we could have even won that game!

Very much so. And if Hock hadn't been pulled back for that forward pass that never was, might have been a different outcome.
