Well this line up highlights the reasons for the disjointed performances recently, we were getting by with 1 half for the past 4 weeks, now we have none. As long as the injured players are back fit and raring to go come October there's no harm lost.

People wanted jepody, now we've got it.

Bloody dire performance , yes we had some injuries but we put out of full time players against a semi pro team with similar levels of injuries

Very easily the worst performance of the season and I include Toulouse away with that. Think Griffin could do with a rest.

I suspect he will be playing centre Friday, with no Croft available

Just shows how important the spine is to getting the team working.
This was all about getting 2 points and resting a couple of players to me.

Or was it over confidence?

The line up was all over the place, no surprise the performance suffered. Two points, players rested, comfortable win. 6 homes games left.

Sure I'd like to see mistake free, flowing rugby but I accept its the teams DNA this season. All efforts now need to concentrate on being our best come the play offs.

We weren’t very good, but it’s easy to see why. McGillvary, Thornley, Gale, Lino, Atoni, Ashurst, Uele all missing, and playing our fullback and hooker in the halves. It wasn’t slick, and we were a bit carefree with the ball but I’ve no doubt it’s because the players know we could be and it wouldn’t affect the result.

Fair play to Dewsbury - their forwards never stepped back and they scored a couple of great tries.

Thought Harvey Smith was very good, Doyle dug in, Olpherts too.

I'm guessing we'll be without Croft and Bowden for Friday...leaving us light in the pack against a decent Sheffield team. It'll be a challenging game, but good teams rise to a challenge.

5/10 performance for me....we weren't good, but we were good enough to win easily non-the-less



Ellis Lingard looks a big unit and went well for the 10 minutes that he was on and was unlucky not to score....definitely one for the future

Well my eyebrows were raised at that line-up but I thought it was smart to leave a few out and put some square pegs in round holes given we were always going to be too good for Dewsbury .

There wasn't too much risk attached to it and we did win comfortably , it was never in doubt .

We all know when we need to be ready and I'm sure we will be .
