I thought it was a scrappy game, we never seem to have much flow to us today but we were never going to lose that game. Thought we didn't use max and our backs enough with good quality ball and hit the short runner too much. I didn't reckon much to donny, just mediocre and we made them look decent at times

Quite scrappy in places for me. Reasonable shift from forwards but still plenty of mistakes. That right edge attack is still stifled by Lino who I genuinely doubt will ever “settle in”, no matter how much time he is given. Fanboys please feel free to issue a strongly worded response. Max also needs to back himself more. He gets into some real good running situations and just seems like he holds himself back from going for gaps sometimes.

If we ever get out of second gear this year, we will score a hundred. With Toulouse losing at home and Fev a basket case, who is going to trouble us this year? Looking like no one other than Sheffield.

I think you'd call that a workmanlike performance with another couple of gears to hit if we needed them .

Looking forward to the better weather and conditions , 3 wins , maximum points and top of the league in levelling conditions .

We are only going to get better too .

I hope Oli Pratt is OK after getting injured. Got hurt in the act of setting up a break. I think he could be a special player.

6/10 performance for me and we still scored 42 points. Defence was excellent against a mediocre Doncaster side but our attack still looks very clunky...if we'd have put in a better attacking performance then we could have scored 60 today.
Pratt clearly damaged his shoulder as he went down and had his arm in a sling inside his coat at the end of the game, so I would imagine he might be missing next week ??. Can see Hood missing next week too as he looked to be in Disneyland when he went off and Atoni didn't look good either

I don't even think Doncaster were mediocre, I thought they were poor. The standard in the Championship is in severe decline.

Doncaster broke through our line a few times so weren't that bad.
They made a lot of errors just as we did.

Thought we were a 6 out of 10. Like others we never really got out of 2nd gear.

The right side is very clunky, passing behind the line in to touch with an overlap was poor. After that Lino seemed to come back inside rather than pass to the edge. The right edge certainly needs some drills or new ideas.

Defence was rock solid. Ball retention and discipline wasn’t great again. We kept handing over possession too easily.

Pratt, Bowden, Hood and hopefully Atoni are okay. Picked up a few today.

Powells interview said Smith in for Hood next week and maybe Griffin for Pratt. I’d bring Croft back in though to left centre and keep Griffin in the second row.

When we finally click we will blow a team to pieces.

Seem to be picking up a few injuries now with:

McGillvray
Bain
Kay
Shaw
Boothroyd
Pitts
Hood (for next week)
Pratt

Bowden
Atoni (hope they’re both just knocks).

Could almost make a full 13 out of that. But we have good quality cover.

The MoM vote just reminded me.
How good was Gale today.

Best I've seen him play I think.

He was the architect behind everything we did today. The legs clearly aren't what they used to be but his understanding of the game keeps a yard or two ahead of everyone else. He was setting the next plays up before the tackle was even made.

Agree, he was very good today. His field kicking was very good too and he has a hand in almost everything good we did.
