Pauli Pauli so good they named him twice

I am at work so listening on Rhubarb radio and cant wait to see that last try from TJ on WakeyTV. Seems he has had a good run out. Pleased for the lad and everyone today sounded as though they enjoyed it

Don’t think the team got out of second gear today. Could’ve just as easily been 80-0.

Good team performance and the defence was rock solid all game. Couple of good solid performances from the younger players Crowther, Ackroyd and Kershaw.

Biggest ever score in a pre season/ friendly , great to see

Great return for TJ.
Scored 3 and but for being unselfish and giving his team mates a couple, would have had 5.
Not too many questions asked of him in defence but, one excellent take from a high crossfield kick and his last "length of the field" effort, he looked to be jogging but was far to quick for any of the Fax players.
Against weaker opposition, Pauli Pauli looked like a monster and scored 2 try's with half the Fax defence still trying to tackle him.

What was interesting for me today was to compare Hampshire and Miller.

I really think there is now strong competition for the stand off shirt. I thought Hampshire looks to have a slightly better passing game. His passes looked crisp and more accurate than Miller. I also thought Hampshire showed a little more in his kicking game.

Many seem to think Miller/Finn will be our HB pairing, but I,m not too sure on that.

Interesting point to make is that. I like Ryan Hampshire. I agree his passings seems crisper and executed slightly better than Miller. From what I have seen I think first choice hb so far for me are Finn and Hampshire. Be interesting to see what happens v Huddersfield

I like Hampshire but I think he tried too hard today. Of his 3 in play kicks 2 went straight to the wing man and one was a pretty good kick into the 10. I think that’s an area that needs improvement. He looked solid and busy today and his passing I definitely agree is crisp and accurate. I don’t think it helped bringing him and ackroyd on in the half’s together and we lost some direction until Finn came back on. I expect we’ll see a lot more from Hampshire as the pre season goes on.

Was at the game today, Keegan Hirst got man of match, not for me, Liam Finn by a mile. First half he ran the show, second half he was subbed bu5 when he reappeared instantly created a try for Tom Johnstone. Starting halves for me will be Finn and Millar. Pauli Pauli went well , Johnstone looked reasonably sharp, Arundel solid in the centre, great try from him taking a pass from Millar. Overall a good performance but Halifax did not offer a lot. 62-0 about right.

I thought Miller had the better half. I hope Hampshire as a good season but Miller deserves to start the season as first choice

Oh the headaches that are Chris Chesters team selections. It will be interesting to see what he goes with of the Huddersfield game.

Miller is a great talent, but he does seem to struggle a bit during the colder months

I thought horro went really well
Going off today I'm going to assume that horro and Kirmond are going to interchange for the right side back row, I think that will be a very strong move and change of direction for us

Spoke to Jordan after the game, asked him how he felt, his reply was, I didn’t need to get my second wind, which hopefully spans across the team after a good pre season
