I think we missed Croft badly. His work goes unnoticed but he's been an important part of the hood performances this year.

Why did Croft go off, did he pick up a knock or was it tactical as he was taken off after the Ese Ese try if my memory is correct? 

So no Trueman again but it sounds like he was always going to be 50/50 anyway, Atoni and Croft also missing but Vagana is back...hopefully a strong enough team to bring home the 2 points but Oli Russell needs to step up !!

They don’t seem to have Mulhern or Charnley back. Nice to see Russell back on the wing and Pratt to centre. Need an 80 minutes high completion and good composure to come away with summat here.

Well that is some win, I guess all the fine margins over the prefious three losses came through today.


Will be a real humdinger next week now! 

Lino missed a kick hope he does not get too much stick for that ,Great to see Tom go in from long range ,the way he took the ball for is second try was out standing .Have we got the best pack in Super League, beginning to think so ..Thought Russell at 7 did ok .in fact a great team  effort .Just getting fed up with absence of Trueman signed as a marque player .Came with a bad record  for missing games .Or am I expecting to much 

Don't think you're expecting too much re Trueman Legend,some players seem to be able to run niggling injuries off and some don't. Jake seems to be in the latter category.

Thought for a minute you were going to get through your post full of positivity and without a whinge obviously not, just out of interest you do know that Powell picks the team and if he thinks that a player isn't quite ready then he can afford not to play him especially with the squad we have, the general consensus at the match tonight was that although Trueman was available for selection it was decided to save him for the cup game who knows eh, if that is not the case and he is still injured then you'd be right to voice your scepticism about the player, one thing for sure, we'll know next Friday.
