Good game today and with strength to bring into the squad I'm feeling optimistic about the upcoming season which, I must say, is a wonderful change!

Someone mentioned they were impressed with mason Caton Brown today. I didn't see him on the pitch at all. I believe he and Annakin were announced but it was in fact batchelor and mazive who played. Some one correct me if I'm wrong aha

MCB didn't play.....

Correct

I never read too much into friendly results, but I'd much rather win them than lose.

I thought Lyne stood out in the first half and Kirmond looked sharper than he has done for a good while. Allgood was the pick of the forwards for me, worked hard in attack and defence, as did Crowther. Arona made some good yards and our three quarters looked dangerous with the ball. Most pleasing was the work rate in defence which has been lacking for a few years now.

I wasn't as impressed with Grix as others seem to be, and Jowitt would go straight back in when he's fit in my opinion. Keegan Hirst tried hard but has some work to do before he's ready for regular Super League but on today's evidence he looks like he's got the committment to give it a good shot. Wood went okay, but I thought Sio livened it up a bit when he came on.

Throw in Jowitt and Miller and our attack looks even more dangerous, and with Huby and Fifita we've quite a bit of size still to come in. It's a shame about Scott Moore, he could really round this team off.

MCB didn't even come on did he? I know he was names on the bench, but if he did come on I didn't see him.

Thought we was good today, if we can iron out the errors with ball in hand and be a bit more clinical in finishing our hald chances then i think we could be in for another decent season! Not getting carried away after one friendly but signs defiantly look good with a few players to come into the side in huby, fifta and miller. I see Mcdermots post match comments were distasteful and diluded as ever - today's game was a training run for them, which is probably more or less true but to come out with that when fans have parted with 20 pound to come out and watch there team play well I would be a little bit mythed if I was a rhinos fan to say the least.

I know which coach I'd rather be. The players not in were the ones that put them in the bottom 4

Who played left centre? Toupu? Assumed it was Brown. To be fair I watched both halves from the end we were defending, moved to Wakey end at half time so didn't see the lads front on at all.

Toupu, who I assume it was then, had a belter. Great feet.

Eh ........?
