I thought todays win was a great 2 points clubs like Waky usually start really well they like to get points on the board early Wigan's and leeds like to grow into the season and peak at the end it was a potential banana skin for us and we over came that by sheer determination and will to win there was not a lot between us but I thought territorially we won the first half and was more dominant that's why when given our penalty's from the ref we where able to convert to two points and you weren't both try's came from speculative kicks and where a little lucky our forwards dominated ours that's why we won good solid away win at a difficult place and team to go in round one
best of luck this year no ones going down its going to franchising next year and 14 teams

If you expected to see that in the conditions of yesterday's game, you were always going to be disappointed; it was a day for Kear rugby - five drives and a kick for territory, then pressure the opposition to make a handling error in their own half.

What did you think of Hull ?
Challenge Cup and top of the table before the Super 8's.
Apart form the 40/20 they played a "safer" game than we did.

I think that you are being grossly unfair on Chester and the team, who bust a gut yesterday and were very unlucky not to get something from the game.

You may be proved right in your theory but, I dont think so.

We have some exciting young backs who will score tries for fun on harder faster tracks but, yesterday was about as far away as you can get to that scenario.

I'd say we DID play the conditions.

I thought the kicking was good on the whole. I can't think any kick was caught on the full with a good chase every time.
Grix was mom for me. He made a few key tackles himself but the team were far more organised with him at the back.

The key part of the game was Ashurst injury for me. We were handling the lack of England and we handled two lots of 3 sets on our line with great defence but losing him was a bridge too far and they broke through.

We could still have won.

Haven't heard anyone talk about Tupou pass to Johnstone buy it deserved to be a game winner.

Walker proved he earned his place and Fifita really caused them problems.
Arona was on at prop for a long time.

The extra week for recovery will help a lot.
Lots of positive with the score the only real negative.....as long as the injuries are only temporary.

I'll be honest I didn't see that one. I did see BJB bomb a near certain try from a TJ mini break and a good pass he dropped with the line at his mercy. It was 60 yards out but he's a speedster and wouldnt have been caught. Ball watching I'm afraid and not the first time he's been guilty of it.

Not saying it cost the game but on days like yesterday you gotta take em to win.

You really need to see the highlights and get a side on view to appreciate it fully. I've not been a big fan of Bill Tupou since he arrived but I think he's been our best centre by far during the friendlies and carried that form on yesterday.
