[quote="Faithful One":cknp1le6]4 or 5 of those penalties must have been in the first 20 mins. Really impressive performance and hopefully we can back it up again with another performance next week[/quote:cknp1le6] There were also a couple that weren't really discipline related, such as the offside that we challenged. Just a bit unlucky there. And both the Rapana knees on Makinson and the Barron push in goal were really soft. Sao had a bit of a reactive grab when he was wrong footed, but it wasn't bad one, typical forward tackling a back sort of penalty. That and Cust speaking out of turn were the disappointing ones. Apart from that I thought discipline was fine.

[quote="Steve0":2o32f728]Great unexpected win, 1-17 brilliant, so much fitter and organised than last season. Standouts for me were Rapana, Bourouh, Cust and Asiata. Thought Lane was much improved on last season too, looks to have bulked up a bit...Briscoe didn't look out of place as a centre. Still bits to work on, can't be giving that many penalties away v Wigan next week. McNamara needs to improve things and quickly, can't see Guash having much patience with him. Pangai jr looked overweight and Garcia is wasted at 9.[/quote:2o32f728] Wire away for Catalan next week too. But then again if Cas have genuinely improved tonight then there are no easy games (barring the face about Salford tomorrow)

Anyone know what the weathers like in Manchester in October? What a game

If you ask some of the players from last season how they felt tonight , I guess they’d be Amazed. They had at least one General in Sezer directing play. What a difference to last season where we looked like headless chucks. I said weeks ago we could finish 6th if Carty got it right. Not a bad start to the season. We defended well but Catalans were poor v Halifax and we will play better teams starting next week then Leigh. I’m in 7th heaven currently and jumped off the sofa a few times watching the game. Let’s see where we are after 9 games.
