Max Jowitt my choice for MotM too.
Eseh went off after a nasty head clash.
Hood's injury looked pretty bad, limping off aided.
Some highlights worth mentioning for me:
1. Antoni half break and his off load to Jowitt
2. Lineham tracking back and overhauling Kyle Evans when it looked certain KE would speed in for a 2nd try.
3. One on one ball steal by Lineham when Fev were pushing to regain the lead on our edge early in their tackle count.

I think the first half summed up these kind of games. We were trying to work through our drill whilst Gev were trying to prove a point. Hence they looked full of enthusiasm and we looked wooden.

In the second half we made a game of it and did well to turn a potential embarrassment into a respectable score, good coaching imo.

Don’t think any of the injuries were serious apart from Hood perhaps.

I like Hood but we look so much quicker when Kay comes on, he’s turned into a terrific number 9.

Certainly better at 13. He absolutely gets stuck in thought. He was regularly pulling out 3/4 consecutive tackles in defensive sets. That’s some big effort. Also he is vocal which is great to see. I’m happy with him playing 40-50 minutes a game if he continues to show that high level of workrate.

He’ll only going to get better as his fitness improves with more game time

Awful first half but much improved second half. We really outclassed them in the second half.
Max was pretty impressive, definitely my MoM.

I couldn't decide whether the game plan was to absorb Fev's pressure in the first half then step it up in the second or they were given a half-time rollocking...whichever it was it obviously worked !!
Atoni certainly looks like he takes some stopping close to the line
Hood's injury looked quite serious as he clearly couldn't put any weight on his left leg and went into the dressing room on crutches

Just read Mash’s post game interview. Proctor played with Flu, if it’s anything like what’s been flying about recently he’s a braver man than me! Hood scans tomorrow

I know I’m to old for it these days but I couldn’t resist a goad. Had a bunch of Fev lads behind me a one insisted on singing SL you’re having a laugh. It was a real pleasure to turn around at the end and ask him if he was still finding it funny - he looked a bit annoyed

There were lots of good things but a lot to work on in my opinion.
Lineham is a good example.
Evans made him look like a prop on the wing for the first try but he did plenty in the rest of the game to deserve credit. He has an extra gear which seems to take a bit of time though the gears but he has it.

We improved in second half, but the biggest thing was Riley Dean coming off for them. He was running the game in the first half. We need to be better at controlling players like that.

Hall looked good in all areas, as did Lyne, though his passing wasn't perfect. Langi looked good at 13. I don't know if I'd play him there but he has to play somewhere. He's quality.

Renouf near the line is unstoppable. I'd like him running from deeper though.

Lino looked sharp when sharp and stood up ok in defense.

Battye was probably the best forward, certainly in go forward yardage. Took his try well.

Max was his usual quality. Perfect under high ball, probably our best in attack and some key tackles in defense.

Talk of Hood after the game wasn't good. Might be a problem.

As often said, the result isn't the question, it's the performance. When good it was good, but more energy needed when we play for real.
.......but it was nice to win. Especially now we play for the Don Fox trophy.

It's on Trinity TV now.

Really hard to read anything into these games but, after a poor first half (some credit to Fev here), the second forty was excellent.
It really was a game of 2 halves.
Proctor looks real quality and as long as we haven't picked up any injuries, job done.
Not quite sure how we fit him into the matchday squad but, I'd like to see Morgan Smith in our 17 somewhere.
Whether he can cover hooker ? but, he'd be a useful addition and gives us some different attacking options.
